"Ella elle l'a", written by Michel Berger, performed by France Gall in 1987.
This song was made as an homage to Ella Fitzgerald. Rainbowmum !
Following a rudimentary translation:
It's like a vibrancy,
It's like a smile
Something deep in her voice
Telling us«*come !*»,
Making us feeling strangly well...
It's like all the history
Of Black people
Balancing between
Love and hopelessness...
Something dancing deep in you
If you feel this,
You really got it...
Ella elle l'a (Ella has this special gift)
( Ce je ne sais quoi )This unexplainable, immeasurable, indescribable abality
That others do not have....
Touching us all ,
Ella, she has ...
Ella,she has...
Ou-ou ou-ou ou-ou ou
Elle a, ou-ou ou-ou ou-ou ou, this voice
Elle a, ou-ou ou-ou ou-ou ou, this joy
This gift from the heavens making her beautiful
Ella, elle l´a
Ella, elle l´a
Elle a, ou-ou ou-ou ou-ou ou
Ella, elle l´a
Elle a, ou-ou ou-ou ou-ou ou
Elle a (she has) this little extra touch of soul
This charm difficult to define
This little flame...
You can drumming on barrels
Or even playing piano,
All that God could provide you...
Showing your smile or sadness...
Although you have nothing or being a king
Even if you're searching the sleeping abalities in you
You have to know that it 's not sellable
If you have, you have...
Ella, elle l´a
Ce je n´sais quoi
Que d´autres n´ont pas
Qui nous met dans un drôle d´état
Ella, elle l´a
Ella, elle l´a...
