Elefantes, despite what a lot of people might think, were built on the image and strength of their singer, Shuarma.

Elefantes came back wanting to renew their music, reinvent themselves and show that, despite the break, they are still in top form. Their new lyrics will be loaded with the luminosity that characterized them in the nineties, but always keeping in mind that the situation that "everything that surrounds them" is going through is not the most optimal.
They have released 4 albums since then.

Elefantes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ven y cuéntame qué haces con tu vida.
Solo cuéntame si sigues siendo
Igual que fuiste ayer.
Cuéntame. Aún brilla tu sonrisa.
Pero cuéntame si algunas veces lloras.
Cuéntame qué es lo que nos pasó
A nosotros dos.
Cuéntame si te acuerdas de mí algún día
Cuéntame si todo sigue igual
Cuéntame. Si hay alguien a tu lado dímelo.
Que ya no me acordaba
De lo que te he querido.
Y que me alegro mucho
De que sigas tan guapa.
Y si cierro los ojos
Aún veo tu cara.
No ha sido nada fácil intentar olvidarte.
Y aún no lo he conseguido,
Ni tengo muchas ganas.
Y ahora ya hace algún tiempo
Que yo te quise tanto,
Que ya ni me acordaba.
