Ela Lyrics in English D.A.M.A

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Ela by D.A.M.A from Portuguese to English.
One day everything was fine
The next, a disaster
I can't find myself in this house's silence
I don't wanna want anymore
I don't wanna want anything either
At least for now
I know everything passes
There's a silence calling me
Buzzing in my ear
Stories from our bed
Empty again
Because she doesn't love me anymore
And she says it was real
But she's wrong too
It was in your lap I found
And completely lost myself
I knew I dreamed like you
And maybe
One day we'll laugh and digest the stupidity
I wanted you to see me as the same
And everything I asked
Was just to be myself
We were one
Now we're two
I never felt like this with anybody
What does she have that has me
There's no way she won't leave longing
She does it the way only she knows
What does she have that has me
The way only she has
The way only she has
Little birds on the porch
Where I'm with you
At home the three of us lying in our little corner
Whisper in my ear
And tell me this makes sense
I tell you about my day
Tell me I'm not alone
Baby
Nights on the road
Nights in the studio
I give my all thinking about our future
It has to be like this
Turning everything around
Because what goes won't come back
And what comes to us
Is what will save us
What an ugly face
You're the prettiest sand on this beach
You're the mermaid
I wanna hear you sing more
What does she have that has me
There's no way she won't leave longing
She does it the way only she knows
What does she have that has me
The way only she has
The way only she has
I just want your colors
In every painting I paint
In my mind I want the moonlight
On your glowing skin
In front of me
You stop my time
You're like never always
And I just try
Ask me for the world, don't ask for sense
I don't deserve you, but I'm fine with that
You are, you are
What does she have that has me
The way only she has
She's got nothing to do with anybody
She puts in a corner every girl I sang about
What does she have that has me
The way only she has
What does she have that has me
There's no way she won't leave longing
She does it the way only she knows
What does she have that has me
The way only she has
What does she have that has me
There's no way she won't leave longing
She does it the way only she knows
What does she have that has me
The way only she has
What does she have that has me
There's no way she won't leave longing
She does it the way only she knows
What does she have that has me
The way only she has
What does she have that has me
There's no way she won't leave longing
She does it the way only she knows
What does she have that has me
The way only she has
The way only she has

SONG MEANING

“Ela” is a heartfelt snapshot of that dizzying moment when love flips from everything to nothing overnight. D.A.M.A’s singer wakes up in a house that suddenly feels too quiet, haunted by buzzing ears, empty bedsheets and the stubborn echo of memories. He swings between denial and acceptance, telling himself that “everything passes,” yet still obsessing over the magnetic pull she has on him: “Que é que ela tem que me tem?” (What is it about her that has me so hooked?). The Portuguese word saudade hovers over every line – that bittersweet longing for someone who is gone but still painfully present in your mind.

Despite the melancholy, the lyrics sparkle with vivid images: little birds on the balcony, moonlight glowing on fluorescent skin, late-night studio sessions where he pours his heart into music and dreams of a future that may never come. The song celebrates how love can make ordinary moments feel cinematic, while also admitting how hard it is to let go when the movie ends. “Ela” invites listeners to dance through their own heartbreak, smile at the foolishness of it all and remember that even the deepest ache can turn into a good story – or a catchy chorus – someday.
