Ella, elle l'a [English translation]

By Brad

It is like a cheerfulness

It is like a smile

Something in the voice

That seems to say "come" to us

That makes us feel oddly well

It is like the complete history

Of the black people

That sways

Between love and despair

Something that dances in you

If you have it, you have it

Ella, she has it

That something

That others don't have

That puts us in a happy state

Ella, she has it

Ella, she has it

Ou-ou ou-ou ou-ou ou...

She has,...ou-ou..., this curious voice

She has,...ou-ou..., this curious joy

This gift from the sky that makes her pretty

Ella, she has it

Ella, she has it

She has, ou-ou...

Ella, she has it

She has, ou-ou...

She has this little more in the soul

This undefinable charm

This little flame

Tap on barrels

On pianos

On everything that God can put between your hands

Show your smile or your sorrow

But whether you have nothing, whether you are king

Whether you are still looking for the powers within you

You see, that can't be bought

When you have it, you have it

Ella, she has it

That something

That others don't have

That puts us in a happy state

Ella, she has it

Ella, she has it...
