Ella, elle l'a [English translation]

It's like joy

Like a smile

Something in her voice

That appears to ask us to come

That makes us feel strangely good

It's like the whole story

Of black people

That is swinging

Between love and despair

Some things that dance in you

If you have got it, you’ve got it

She, she has it

I dont know what this is

That others do not have

That brings us in a funny state

She, she has it

She, this strange voice

She, this strange joy

This gift from heaven that makes it beautiful

She, she has it, She, she has it

She, she has it

She, she has it

She has that little extra soul

That indefinable charm

This small flame

Struck on barrels

On pianos

On whatever god can put in her hands

Show your laugh or your sorrow

But you don’t have anything, that makes you the king

That you still look for the powers that sleep in you

You see, it does not buy

When you have it, you have it

She, she has it

I dont know what this is

That others do not have

That brings us in a funny state

She, she has it
