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 ↴

Pesa esta ciudad cuando es de noche ..
Todo sigue mal mientras tú no estás.
En ningún lugar encuentro esa calma
Que ansío pa’ poder, por lo menos, descansar.

Sin poder olvidarme de ti ..
Aun sabiendo que tú ya te has ido de mí.

Y tú ya verás como en tan solo tres días
Vuelves a notar la triste soledad.
¿Quién te abrazará?, ¿quien te dará caricias? ..
¿Quién te entenderá cuando te eches a llorar? ..

Sin poder olvidarme de ti ..
Aun sabiendo que tú ya te has ido de mí.

No puedo estar ni un día más sin sentir cerca tu pecho.
Ya no soporto esta soledad que mata poco a poco ..
Tan poco a poco que al final no puedo estar ni un segundo más
Sin sentir cerca tu pecho que me llena de recuerdos.

Cierro la puerta y apago la luz,
Me quedo dormido y luego entras tú ..
Acércate más .. te quiero tocar.

No puedo estar ni un día más sin sentir cerca tu pecho.
Ya no soporto esta soledad que mata poco a poco ..

Tan poco a poco que al final no puedo estar ni un segundo más
Sin sentir cerca tu pecho que me llena de recuerdos.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics describe the weight that the city feels at night and the sense of unease and turmoil that the singer feels when the person they love is not around. They long for a sense of calm and rest but are unable to find it in their surroundings. The singer acknowledges that they cannot forget about their loved one even though they have left them. They imagine that their ex-partner will also start to feel the loneliness and emptiness they feel after just three days apart. They wonder who will provide comfort for them when they cry and who will understand them. The singer's pain and longing intensify further as they describe how unbearable it is to be without the presence of their loved one, and how every moment seems to pass by slowly and painfully. Finally, they imagine their loved one coming back to them, and they plead to be near their chest once more.
