Charlie Chan is celebrated for her compositions spanning jazz, classical, ambient and contemporary forms. She has written numerous soundtracks for film, theatre, dance and television including award winning scores for Australian Story (ABC) McCleods Daughters (Nine Network) the hugely successful play, Gift of the Gorgon for Sydney Theatre Company; and television documentaries that have screened through National Geographic and Discovery channels as well as national networks both in Australia and abroad.
Charlie composed the score for the feature film Me Myself I. This film was produced by the French production company Gaumont (credits include Diva, The Big Blue, The Fifth Element, The Professional and Joan of Arc). Me Myself I was written and directed by Oscar nominee Pip Karmel and stars Rachel Griffiths.
Charlie has won broad critical acclaim for her three solo albums. The first, the Adventures of Charlie Chan , is a series of technology-driven soundscapes while the second, East & West , is a collection of improvised solo piano pieces. Her current album Wild Swans is a logical progression from the first that also takes flavours from the second; it is as dazzling and contemporary.
With 20 years in the music industry Charlie has gained experience in the creative, technical, marketing and administrative arenas. In 1998 Charlie established Martian Music, an Internet based sales and distribution mechanism to reach her international and local audience.

Charlie Chan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
En tus manos yo caí, tienes control sobre mi
Tu cuerpo es la cárcel y yo un prisionero
Y jamás quiero salir, condenado soy feliz.
Try to keep my balance but I still fall
But how'd I fall so hard
Right into your arms, I swear girl
Love without a cause
Leaves me trapped inside my own bars
Quiero ser tuyo enterito pero tengo miedo
Prométeme que no me vas a dejar sin tu amor
I'll give you my heart girl but you got to promise (prométame mami)
Promise you'll hold me (hold me)touch me (touch me)
Love me, way past forever
Yo tan joven padesco del corazón,
Y por tu amor sufriría mil años y con mucho honor
I'm trying to be calm but my chest keeps pounding
Try to swim but it's like i'm drowning
All I've come for is love, oh baby
Quiero ser tuyo enterito pero tengo miedo
Prométeme que no me vas a dejar sin tu amor
I'll give you my heart girl but you got to promise (prométame mami)
Promise you'll hold me (hold me)touch me (touch me)
Love me, way past forever
You need this in your life, two kings, revolutionary
Temo que me dejes en el abandono
Y tue eres mi oxigeno y mi todo
But I realize yes,
Worth running a race, when the finish line is you
Quiero ser tuyo enterito pero tengo miedo
Prometeme que no me vas a dejar sin tu amor
If give you my heart girl but you got to promise (promise that you'll love me baby)
Promise you'll hold me, (hold me) touch me, (touch me)
Love me (love me) way past forever
Quiero ser tuyo enterito pero tengo miedo
Prometeme que no me vas a dejar sin tu amor
