Ela

She

Ela ...She ...
Ela veio da terra do algodãoShe came from the land of the cotton
Uma terra que quase foi esquecidaA land that was nearly forgotten
Por todo mundoBy everyone
E ela ...And she ...
Ela trabalhou e se esforçou tantoShe worked and she slaved so hard
Um grande campo era seu quintalA big ol' field was her backyard
Sob o sol do deltaIn the delta sun
Oh, mas ela sabia cantarOh, but she sure could sing
Sim, simYes, yes
Ela sabia cantarShe sure could sing

Então ele ...Then he ...
Olhou pra baixo e sentiu um pouco de penaLooked down and he took a little pity
A cidade inteira jurou que ele decidiuThe whole town swore he decided
Ajudá-la de alguma formaHe help her some
E eleAnd he
Não se importou se ela não era muito bonitaDidn't mind if she wasn't very pretty
Pois bem no fundo do seu coração ele sabiaFor deep inside his heart he knew
Que ela era a únicaShe was the only one
Oh, mas ela sabia cantarOh, but she sure could sing
Meu Deus, ela sabia cantarMy, my she sure could sing
Ela tinha fé e acreditavaShe had faith and she had believin'
Ela uniu todo o povo em cançõesShe led all the people together in singin'
E ela orava toda noiteAnd she prayed very night
Para o Senhor lá em cimaTo the Lord up above
Cantando aleluiaSingin' hallelujah
Oh, aleluiaOh, hallelujah

Eles ...They ...
Caminhavam cantando canções à beira do rioWould walk singin' songs by the river
Mesmo quando ela sabia com certezaEven when she knew for sure
Que tinha que ir emboraShe had to go away
E elaAnd she
Nunca soube o que a vida tinha a oferecerNever knew what her life had to give her
E nunca precisou se preocupar com issoAnd never had to worry about it
Nem por um único diaFor one single day
Oh, mas ela sabia cantarOh, but she sure could sing
Sim, sim, ela sabia cantarYes, yes she sure could sing
