Así Es La Vida is the sound of a broken heart trying to drown its sorrows in a noisy cantina. The singer orders “más botellas” to wash away the taste of a lover who ran off with “ese infeliz.” Between swigs he fires off a list of complaints: ruined reputation, sleepless nights, looming depression. Each one is followed by the defiantly shrugged “¿Qué importa?”— a raw, Mexican way of saying “So what?” or “Who cares?” that bares the sting of wounded pride while pretending it doesn’t hurt.
Yet the chorus flips the mood into a bittersweet celebration: “Así es la vida… a veces negra, a veces color rosa.” Life is fickle, sometimes dark, sometimes bright pink. It takes, it gives, it lifts you up, it knocks you down, and occasionally lets you win. Over a lively pop-rock groove with fiesta touches, Elefante turns heartbreak into a playful philosophy lesson: accept the chaos, keep dancing, and remember that even the worst night can end in a song, a laugh, or at least another round. ¡Salud!
Elefante is a Mexican rock-pop band born in Mexico City in the early 1990s. They broke through with their debut El Que Busca Encuentra (2001), featuring the hit single “De la Noche a la Mañana.” Over the years, they’ve toured across Latin America and opened for giants like Shakira and Maná.
Their third album Elefante was nominated for a Latin Grammy in 2005. The lineup has changed—most notably Reyli Barba left in 2003, yet the core of Rafael “Rafa” López, Ahis, Javi, Iguana, and “G. Tracks” now leads the creative direction. Their music blends poetic, emotional lyrics with rock, pop, and touches of ranchera and ballad.
