Ali baba
Axé Bahia Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Vou voar no tapete de Aladim
Para levar você ao meu arém
Vai mexer seu ventre para mim
Eu vou fazer o que você quiser

Alibabá com as manos par o ar
Alibabá movendo sem parar
Vou dançar, vou dançar

Seu pedido realizar
Vou dançar, vou dançar
Seu pedido realizar

Vou pedir, comece a rebolar
Vou pedir, vem me hipinotizar

Vou pedir, seu dedo na boquinha
Na onda na onda, e baila o tapinha.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Axé Bahia's song Ali Baba depict the desire of the singer to take his lover to his arém, or harem, by flying on the magic carpet of Aladdin. He requests his lover to move and shake her belly for him, and promises to do anything she wants. The chorus of the song talks about Alibabá, a reference to the folk character from Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves story, who moves his hands and dances endlessly. The singer promises to dance and fulfill his lover's wishes, asking her to start moving, to hypnotize him, to put her finger on her lips, and to join him in the dance.

The lyrics of the song Ali Baba reflect the culture of Bahia, a state in Brazil known for its vibrant music and dance culture, influenced by African and European traditions. The song blends elements of axé music, a popular genre in Bahia characterized by fast-paced rhythms and danceable beats, with references to Arab culture, evoked by the mention of Aladdin's magic carpet and the concept of the harem. The song also incorporates elements of the popular folklore of Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves, a tale from the Middle Eastern Nights, famous for its themes of adventure, trickery, and riches.
