Below, I translated the lyrics of the song El Elefante by Caifanes from Spanish to English.
El otro día pude o no
The other day I could or couldn't
Con el sabiondo paquidermo
With the know-it-all pachyderm
Muchos secretos me contó
He told me many secrets
Pero no solo quiso ver y fue volar
But he didn't just want to see and went to fly
Volar y volar
To fly and fly
Hasta llegar, a la nada
Until reaching, the nothingness
Estoy dispuesto a descubrir
I'm willing to discover
Todo lo que no sea verdad
Everything that isn't the truth
Estoy dispuesto a marginar
I'm willing to marginalize
Todo lo que no sea real para ti
Everything that isn't real for you
Para mí, para seguir
For me, to keep going
Buscando el penacho bajo la luna
Searching for the plume under the moon
Estoy dispuesto a imaginar
I'm willing to imagine
Que no existe represión
That repression doesn't exist
Después de tanto reclamar
After so much demanding
Bajo su trompa y se echó al suelo
He lowered his trunk and lay on the ground
Y se fue, se fue
And he left, he left
De su jaula, hacia a la nada
From his cage, toward nothingness
Sobre la luna
Over the moon
