Ella, elle l'a [English translation]
Ella, elle l'a [English translation]
It's like a joyfulness,
Like a smile,
Something in her voice
That seems to say "come!" to us,
That makes us feel strangely good.
It's like all the history
Of black people
That swings
Between love and despair
Something that dances inside of you
If you got it, you got it!
Ella, she's got it
(Ella ouhouhouh, ouhouhouh)
That I don't know what
(Ella ouhouhouh, ouhouhouh)
What others don't have
What puts us in a funny state
Ella, she's got it
Ella, she's got it
(Ella ouhouhouh, ouhouhouh)
That funny voice
(Ella ouhouhouh, ouhouhouh)
That funny joy
That gift from heaven that makes her beautiful
Ella, she's got it
Ella, she's got it
(Ella ouhouhouh, ouhouhouh)
Ella, she's got it
(Ella ouhouhouh, ouhouhouh)
She has that little extra soul
That indefinable charm
That little flame
Strike barrels,
Strike pianos,
Strike everything that god can put in your hands
Show your laughter or your sorrow
But whether you have nothing or you're a king,
Whether you're still searching for powers that sleep inside of you
You see, that can't be bought
When you got it, you got it
Ella, she's got it
(Ella ouhouhouh, ouhouhouh)
That I don't know what
(Ella ouhouhouh, ouhouhouh)
What others don't have
What puts us in a funny state
Ella, she's got it
Ella, she's got it
(Ella ouhouhouh, ouhouhouh)
Ella, she's got it
(Ella ouhouhouh, ouhouhouh)
Ella, she's got it
Ella, she's got it
Ella
Ella, she's got it
Ella, she's got it
Ella
Ella, she's got it
(Ella ouhouhouh, ouhouhouh)
That I don't know what
(Ella ouhouhouh, ouhouhouh)
What others don't have
What puts us in a funny state
Ella, she's got it
Ella, she's got it
(Ella ouhouhouh, ouhouhouh)
That funny voice
(Ella ouhouhouh, ouhouhouh)
That funny joy
That gift from heaven that makes her beautiful
Ella, she's got it
Ella, she's got it
(Ella ouhouhouh, ouhouhouh)
Ella, she's got it
(Ella ouhouhouh, ouhouhouh)
