Ella Lyrics in English by Junior H

Home / Lyrics translation / Junior H / Ella

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Ella by Junior H from Spanish to English.

And a little bag to get me going

And a little bottle that burns with cold

Three, four very pretty Barbies to dance with

I see the sun go by in the distance

My friend passes me a cigar to pack

I feel my heart start to beat

It's been a while since I've experienced that

I don't know what that is, I think they say butterflies

I've been looking at her for a while and I can't stop looking at her

Beautiful lips, her spectacular face

I get closer and honestly I don't know if I should say hello

But it's not bad, I'd rather go for it

What a beautiful girl, believe me it was the truth

I touched her shoulder and, instantly, she looked at me

Her hand touched me and pulled me along to dance

I was crazy about the way she looked at me

And at the pace she pressed against me and made me dance

Her body pressed against mine made me vibrate

I'm scared and I don't want to fall in love

But it's too late and believe me, I like this

Two, three songs and she doesn't stop dancing

I don't I'm interested as long as I'm with her

Three, four drinks and the party gets better

We met while the song was playing

I won't even tell you, you already know what happened

She rolled around in my bed and just as the sun came up

We slept together, she had me completely crazy

And here ends the story of this tale

Here I am in the club smoking a joint

Always watching in case I run into her

Days go by and I haven't looked at her again

I pray to God that he'll make her arrive

I close my eyes and I remember her little face

How she danced, smiled, and that look

Luna, tell her you can look at her now

Tell her to come back and I'll wait for her here

aventar — to throw / to go for it

Aventar literally means 'to throw', but in this song, it's used as a popular slang phrase meaning 'to go for it' or 'to take the plunge'.

The singer is hesitating to approach a girl at a party, but then decides, "mejor me voy a aventar" (I'd better just go for it). This phrase perfectly captures that exciting, nerve-wracking moment of taking a social risk, which kicks off the whole story of the song.

Junior H kicks this track off right in the middle of a late night party, surrounded by drinks, friends, and what he calls Barbie' bien preciosas [gorgeous Barbies] on the dance floor. He is drinking cold beer and his buddy passes him un tabaco pa' embaisar [a cigarette to light up]. Then he spots a girl with lips and a face so striking that his chest starts acting up: El corazón siento me empieza a palpitar [I feel my heart starting to race]. He literally jokes that he has no clue what that feeling even is, guessing it must be what people call butterflies (creo, dicen mariposas). Even though he is nervous to say hi, he takes a chance (mejor me voy a aventar [I'd better go for it]), taps her shoulder, and she pulls him straight onto the floor.

They dance song after song with her body pressed right against his, and while he admits he is terrified of catching feelings (Tengo yo miedo y no me quiero enamorar [I'm scared and I don't want to fall in love]), it is already too late. Junior skips the details with a smirk: Ya ni les cuento, ya saben lo qué pasó [I won't even tell you, you already know what happened]. She ends up in his bed until sunrise, but the high does not last. The morning comes, she vanishes, and now he is stuck right back at the club (el antro), smoking (fumando un gallo) and scanning the crowd hoping to run into her again. By the end, he is literally begging the moon to pass along a message (Luna, dile tú... [Moon, you tell her...]) to bring her back.
