Ella, elle l'a [English translation]

It's like a joy, like a smile

that thing in her voice that seems to be saying "Come!"

that makes us feel strangely good

it's like all the history of the black people

that swings between love and dispair

that thing that dances inside of you, if you have it, you have it.

She has it, the thing I know about

that others don't have, that puts us in a funny state

she, she , she has it, she has that funny voice, that funny cheerfullness

that gift from up above that makes her beautiful, she has it

She has that extra bit of soul

that undefinied charm, that little flame.

Hitting the barrels, the pianos (playing the piano)

and everything that Gods can put in your hands

show your laughter or your sadness

but if you are nothing or if you are a king

if you are still looking for the power that is sleeping inside of you

you see, that cannot be purchased, your have or you don't (lit. when you have it, you have it.)

She has that thing I know about

that others don't have and that puts us in a funny state

she has it

she has it

She has that thing I know about

that others don't have and that puts us in a funny state

she has it, she has that funny voice, that funny cheerfullness

that gift from up above that makes her beautiful, she has it...
