She

Ela

She

Ela-ee
She-e-e
Ela veio da terra do algodão
She came from the land of the cotton
A terra que foi quase esquecido
A land that was nearly forgotten
Por todos
By everyone

Ela-ee
She-e-e
Ela trabalhou e foi escravizada duramente
She worked and she slaved so hard
Antigo campo grande era seu quintal
Big old field was her backyard
No sol delta
In the delta sun

Oh oh ela realmente podia cantar
Oh oh she sure could sing
Oh meu ela realmente podia cantar
Oh my she sure could sing

E ele-ee
And he-e-e
Olhou para baixo e deu um pouco de pena
Looked down and took a little pity
Cidade inteira jurou, ele decidiu
Whole town swore, he decided
Ele iria nos ajudar
He would help us out

E ele-ee
And he-e-e
Não importa que ela não era muito bonita
Didn't mind that she wasn't very pretty
Porque no fundo seu coração, ele sabia
Cause deep inside his heart he knew
Ela era a única
She was the only one

Oh oh ela realmente podia cantar
Oh oh she sure could sing
Hey-ey ela realmente podia cantar
Hey-ey she sure could sing

Ela tinha fé
She had faith
Ela tinha acreditar
She had believing
Ela levou todo o povo a cantar
She led all the people together in singing
E ela rezou todas as noites
And she prayed every night
Para o senhor acima
To the lord up above
Cantando aleluia
Singing hallelujah

Eles-ey
They-ey
Utilizado para caminhar, cantando músicas do rio
Used to walk, singing songs by the river
Mesmo quando ela tinha certeza de que
Even when she knew for sure
Ela teria que ir embora
She'd have to go away

Ela-ee
She-e-e
Nunca soube o que era uma vida para dar-lhe
Never knew what a life was to give her
Nunca teve que se preocupar com isso
Never had to worry about it
Para um único dia
For one single day

Oh meu ela realmente podia cantar
Oh my she sure could sing
Ah, sim ela realmente podia cantar
Oh yeah she sure could sing

Ela estava cantando, cantando aleluia
She was singing, singing hallelujah

E ela-ee
And she-e-e
Ela veio da terra do algodão
She came from the land of the cotton
A terra que foi quase esquecido
A land that was nearly forgotten
Por todos
By everyone

Ela-ee
She-e-e
Ela trabalhou e foi escravizada duramente
She worked and she slaved so hard
O campo velho e grande era seu quintal
The big old field was her backyard
No sol delta
In the delta sun

Oh oh ela realmente podia cantar
Oh oh she sure could sing
Yeah-ah ela realmente podia cantar
Yeah-ah she sure could sing
Ah, sim ela realmente podia cantar
Oh yeah she sure could sing
Yeah-ah ela realmente podia cantar-ing-ay-ay
Yeah-ah she sure could sing-ing-ay-ay
