E' O TCHAN Lyrics

Neguinha maravilhosa, mulher bonita mostra esse agito pra mim, vai!
The singer compliments a beautiful woman and asks her to dance for him.

Esse agito quente que nem areia no Saara, me queima vai!
The singer asks the woman to dance with such passion that it feels as though they are in the hot sands of the Sahara desert.

Danada...ordinária...vamo embora, mostra pra mim juntinho,Vamo embora!
The singer uses energetic and playful language to encourage the woman to dance with him closely.

Essa é a mistura do Brasil com o Egito Tem que ter charme pra dançar bonito Essa é a mistura do Brasil com o Egito tem que ter Charme pra dançar bonito
The song celebrates the mixture of Brazilian and Egyptian cultures and emphasizes the need for charm in dancing well in this style.

Quem vem de fora, vem chegando agora Mexe a barriguinha sem vergonha e entre Balance o corpo, meu bem, não demora Que chegou a hora da dança do ventre
The song encourages everyone, especially those who are new to Brazilian-Egyptian dance, to let loose and enjoy the dance, especially the hypnotic belly dance rhythm that is an integral part of this style.

Olha o Ali Babá aí ó! Ali Babá Ali Babá
The song references the famous character from Arabian folklore as a playful nod to the Egyptian influence on this style of dance.

O califa tá de olho no decote dela Tá de olho no biquinho do peitinho dela Tá de olho na marquinha da calcinha dela Tá de olho on balanço das cadeiras dela
The singer humorously suggests that even the Caliph, or the ruler of the land, is taking notice of the dancer's revealing clothing and suggestive movements.

Vai ralando o Tchan comigo! Rala, ralando o Tchan, aê Rala, ralando o Tchan, rala mainha! Rala, ralando o Tchan, aê Rala, ralando o Tchan
The artist continues to encourage the woman to dance the Tchan, a style that involves rhythmic hip movements, with him.

Gostei, minha odalisca, agora faz essa cobra coral subir, vai! Assim comigo, juntinho, vai subindo, subindo, subindo Que maravilha... cheguei no oásis, sua ordinária, estou todo molhadinho!
The artist continues to use playful language and references to Arabian culture to encourage the woman to dance more passionately with him, suggesting that the sensual dance is making him feel aroused.

Ela fez a cobra subir, a cobra subir, a cobra subir Ela faz a cobra subir, a cobra subir, a cobra subir, diga aí! Ela fez a cobra subir, a cobra subir, a cobra subir Ela faz a cobra subir, a cobra subir, a cobra subir
The song references the dance move where the dancer's pelvic region moves in a way that can be likened to a rising cobra, highlighting the sensuality of the dance and praising the woman's ability to perform it well.

Rala, ralando o Tchan, aê Rala, ralando o Tchan, olha o quibe! Rala, ralando o Tchan, aê Rala, ralando o Tchan Rala, ralando o Tchan, aê Rala, ralando o Tchan, habib! Rala, ralando o Tchan, aê Rala, ralando o Tchan é...
The singer continues to use playful language and references to Arabic culture to encourage the woman to dance more energetically with him, adding in mentions of traditional Arabic foods like quibe and using the word habib, meaning 'beloved' in Arabic.
