1) Elefante was one of Uruguay's leading rock bands in the 90's, formed in Montevideo. The original lineup consisted of STELLA MARIS (voice), BESTIA (guitar), HARRY (bass), CHONIUK (drums), and MANECO (guitar and samplers).
Elefante was one of the most significative bands from that decade, mixing hip-hop, nü-metal and electronica in their music. In addition, a female voice in the front gave them a different touch. They were always linked by the Montevideo's underground.
Elefante edited three albums. "Elefante 1" (Koala Records / 2000), "Bazar" (Koala Records / 2001), and "Forma" (Koala Records / 2002).
After "Forma", the band split up in 2002.

The song was featured in Elefante's debut album El Que Busca Encuentra, produced by Nacho Bejar.

3. Redirected Elephante is the recording and performing moniker of Tim Wu, a Los Angeles-based EDM DJ/producer known for his big-room progressive house anthems and remixes of artists ranging from Clean Bandit to Lorde. He generally tends to produce pop-leaning vocal dance tracks, but he dips into slower, trap-inspired numbers as well. Born in Ann Arbor, Michigan in 1989, Wu began playing music at an early age, receiving classical piano training before teaching himself to play guitar. He graduated from Harvard University in 2011 and initially tried to break into the music business as an acoustic singer/songwriter before switching to electronic dance music. He started out creating remixes before producing original tracks, and his first EP was released in 2013. Since then, he's released dozens of tracks and remixes, with songs like "I Want You" and "Age of Innocence" receiving millions of online streams. His debut full-length, I Am the Elephante, appeared in 2016. "Troubled," a collaborative single with singer Deb's Daughter, appeared in early 2017.

Elefante Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Para querer oir tu voz
Para buscar por los rincones
Un poquitito de calor
Muchas mentiras hay afuera
Muchas verdades en tu piel
Quien tira la primera piedra
nooooooooo
Sólo ven ven ven
Que esta noche las estrellas te iluminan
Que se pierda la cordura entre tu y yo
Son las cosas que nos da la vida
Ven, Ven, Ven
Muchas razones esta noche
Para morir y renacer
Y quien esta libre de culpa
Noooo
No digas nada
Olvida todo
Solo ven ven ven
Que esta noche quiero estar entre tus brazos
Y perder poquito a poco la razón
Bajo la mirada de la luna
Ven, Ven, Ven
Si quieres me pierdo contigo
Si quieres me olvido de ti
Pero esta noche tengo frío
Porque no te acercas a mi
Ven, Ven, Ven
Que esta noche las estrellas te iluminan
Que se pierda la cordura entre tuy yo
Son las cosas que nos da la vida
Ven, Ven, Ven
Que esta noche quiero estar entre tus brazos
Y perder poquito a poco la razón
Bajo la mirada de la luna
Ven, Ven, Ven
ay ay ay ay ay
Ven, Ven, Ven
ay ay ay ay ay
Ven
The lyrics to Elefante’s song "Ven" describe a yearning for love and comfort. The singer expresses the desire to hear the voice of their significant other, to search for warmth in the corners of their embrace, and to forget their troubles for the night. The song acknowledges the presence of deceit and truth in the world, but ultimately invites the listener to let go of everything and seek solace in the arms of their lover. The repetition of “Ven, Ven, Ven” throughout the song also emphasizes the urgency and desperation of the singer’s desire for the other person.
The use of imagery in the lyrics adds to the romantic and passionate nature of the song. The stars in the sky are said to illuminate the night, evoking a sense of magic and wonder. The reference to the moon suggests a sense of intimacy and closeness, as the couple are under its watchful gaze. The line “Y perder poquito a poco la razón,” which translates to “And lose little by little the reason,” further exemplifies the overwhelming emotions that consume the singer.
Overall, "Ven" is a song about yearning and surrendering to the power of love. Its lyrics express the kind of unabashed affection and vulnerability that can only come from being deeply invested in another person.
