Here's the original my friend :

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lgHGU8gqz9U

 

composed by one of my favorite french composer : Michel Berger, it's been a big hit in France during the 80's, sang by France Gall.

It's a song about Ella Fitzgerald (jazz woman) : Ella elle a (means "Ella, she has...")

 

Here for you translation of the lyrics to understand the double meanings : 

 

C'est comme toute l'histoire     - it's like the history of
Du peuple noir                         - the black people/folk
Qui se balance                        - swinging
Entre l'amour et l'désespoir     - between love and despair
Quelque chose qui danse en toi - something which you dance
Si tu l'as, tu l'as                      - if you've got it, you've got it
 
Ella, elle l'a                          - hear Ella Ella (Fitzgerald)
Ce je n'sais quoi                 - this thing that i can't name
Que d'autres n'ont pas       - that others don't have
Qui nous met dans un drôle d'état  - which bring us to a wierd/strange state
Ella, elle l'a  
Ella, elle l'a
Ou-ou ou-ou ou-ou ou
Elle a, ou-ou ou-ou ou-ou ou, cette drôle de voix  - this rum/wierd/funny voice
Elle a, ou-ou ou-ou ou-ou ou, cette drôle de joie
Ce don du ciel qui la rend belle                              - this gift of heaven that make her beautiful/a beauty

 

Great couple (France + Michel)

In parallel, Michel Berger wrote another song that refers to Jerry Lee Lewis and is a tribute to his particular way of playing the piano standing, symbol of freedom and rebellion (according to Berger's lyrics). Another possible referring is to Elton John who's I think the grandfather of their child (Michel Berger + France Gall).

 

Ça veut dire qu'il était libre 
Heureux d'être là, malgré tout 
Il jouait du piano debout
Quand les trouillards sont à genoux et les soldats au-garde-à-vous
Simplement sur ses deux pieds
Il voulait être lui vous comprenez
 
That means he was free
Glad to be here, anyway
He played the piano standing
When cowards are on their knees and soldiers stands to attention
Simply/just on his both feet
He wanted be HIM, you understand.
