Lyrics & Translation

Learning a language through music is a fantastic way to connect with a new culture, and 'Elefanti' by the Italian band GOMMA is a perfect place to start. The song's gentle and repetitive lyrics make it easy to follow along and pick up new vocabulary. 'Elefanti' is special because it uses a beautiful and simple metaphor—elephants hiding their joy—to talk about the universal human experiences of love and intimacy, making the Italian language feel both accessible and deeply expressive.

[English]
How strange
What?
My reflection appears in your eyes
Maybe it's the prelude to a fresh Franco-American bond
We hide like elephants when they're happy
...
Since childhood, we've been alone
We do like elephants do
Who hide when
They're happy
...
We end up in a secret place
Ending up in a secret spot
Ending up in my secret place
Ending up
We do like elephants do
We do like elephants do
We do like elephants do
We do like elephants do
...
