Elefanti invites you into a quirky day-dream where two people rediscover each other and their own childhood sense of wonder. The singer looks into a partner’s eyes and sees his own reflection, a playful sign that the distance between them is shrinking — just like a “franco-american rapprochement.” From that first spark, the pair decide to “hide like elephants when they’re happy,” protecting their oversized joy by slipping away from the world. The elephant becomes a mascot for big, undeniable feelings that are kept secret so they can grow in peace.
As the lyrics repeat “Facciamo come gli elefanti,” the song turns into an invitation: leave the noise behind, find a “posto segreto,” and celebrate intimacy in a place only the two of you know. It is both whimsical and tender, reminding us that even the biggest creatures — or the biggest emotions — sometimes need a quiet hiding spot to feel truly free and alive.
