Ella

The song 'Ella' by Tan Bionica paints a vivid picture of a captivating woman who seems to hold a mysterious power over the narrator. The lyrics describe a woman who has been through a period of insomnia, using 'gotitas de marfil' (drops of ivory) to maintain her composure. This could be a metaphor for some form of medication or substance that helps her cope with her sleeplessness. The mention of 'Johnnie' could refer to Johnnie Walker, a brand of whiskey, suggesting that she uses alcohol to 'revive' herself, adding to the complexity of her character.

The chorus emphasizes her allure with phrases like 'Ella tiene un look' (She has a look) and 'Ella dibuja mi destino con rush' (She sketches my destiny with rush), indicating that her presence and style are so compelling that they seem to shape the narrator's future. The use of 'rush' here could imply a sense of urgency or a sudden burst of emotion. The song also mentions her 'swing,' which could be a reference to her attitude, confidence, or the way she moves, further highlighting her irresistible charm.

Throughout the song, there is a recurring theme of the sun coming up and the narrator's heart dancing, symbolizing a sense of hope or renewal. Despite the night's escapades and the woman's troubled nature, there is a feeling of optimism. The narrator relates to her, suggesting that he too has experienced similar nights where he sought to feel better. The song captures the essence of a complex relationship with a person who is both troubled and enchanting, leaving a lasting impact on those around her.
