| ELLA | ELLA |
| He was tall, very tall | Era alto, molto alto |
| And his eyes were clear and blue | E i suoi occhi erano limpidi e azzurri |
| He was slim, very slim | Era magro, molto magro |
| In his coat of snowy hue | Nel suo cappotto di colore della neve |
| When he walked across the ballroom floor | Quando ha attraversato il pavimento della sala da ballo |
| He was like a thing divine | Era come una cosa divina |
| And all the ladies turned their heads | E tutte le donne hanno voltato la testa |
| And naturally I turned mine | E naturalmente ho trasformato il mio |
| The chandeliers were shooting stars; | I lampadari erano stelle cadenti; |
| The drums and horns and soft guitars | I tamburi, i fiati e le chitarre morbide |
| Were sounding more like nightingales; | Suonavano più come usignoli; |
| The window curtains blew like sails; | Le tende delle finestre sventolavano come vele; |
| And I was floating just above the floor | E io stavo fluttuando appena sopra il pavimento |
| Feeling slightly taller than before | Mi sento leggermente più alto di prima |
| He was tall, very tall | Era alto, molto alto |
| And his eyes were clear and blue… | E i suoi occhi erano limpidi e azzurri... |
