rababutt / ass

Raba is a Brazilian Portuguese slang term for "butt" or "ass". It's a very informal and common word in funk music, often used in a playful and provocative context.

In "Movimenta", DJ Zullu repeatedly uses "raba" to tell people to "move their butt" or "shake their ass", which is a central theme of the song's dance-oriented, party atmosphere. It's a key word for understanding the song's vibe and the cultural context of Brazilian funk.

"Movimenta" is a Brazilian funk track built almost entirely around one command: move. DJ Zullu sets the scene as the host of his own party ("the world of Zullu"), where Pocah and MC GW trade verses inviting dancers onto the floor.

The lyrics describe an open, playful club atmosphere: everyone is welcome to join in ("santinha" or "safada," "angel" or "devil"), as long as they're ready to dance. The hook repeats the title word, "movimenta" (move it), over and over as a call to keep the energy up on the dance floor.

It's a lighthearted, high-energy party anthem rather than a song with a deeper story. The repetition and call-and-response style are typical of Brazilian funk, designed to get a crowd moving rather than to tell a narrative.
