Tribotchan Lyrics in English É O Tchan
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Tribotchan by É O Tchan from Portuguese to English.
Eu quero ver a Índia mexer
I want to see the Indian woman move
Eu quero ver a Índia mexer
I want to see the Indian woman move
Também quero ver a Índia mexer
I also want to see the Indian woman move
Eu quero ver a Índia mexer
I want to see the Indian woman move
O Tchan vem contar o que
O Tchan comes to tell what
A história não contou
History didn't tell
Cabral se apaixonou
Cabral fell in love
Que por uma Índia baiana
With a Bahian Indian woman
Cabral se apaixonou
Cabral fell in love
Pelo gingado requebrado
For her swaying, hip-wiggling moves
Que ela dança
That she dances
Pelo seu corpo bronzeado
For her tanned body
Que balança
That sways
Fantasiado Português entrou
The Portuguese man, dressed up, entered
No samba
Into the samba
E a Índia pathanxó chomou assim
And the Pathanxó Indian woman called out like this
Tchancurú, tchanxegô, catchanbá
Tchancurú, tchanxegô, catchanbá
Tchan popô
Tchan butt
Paquetchan, tchanrerê
Paquetchan, tchanrerê
Tchansambá, tchanmexê
Tchansamba, tchanmove
Vou traduzir
I'm going to translate
Na cabeça, no joelho, no peitinho
On the head, on the knee, on the little chest
No bumbum, barriguinha, cinturinha
On the butt, little belly, little waist
Essa Índia ainda mata um
This Indian woman could still kill someone
Cacique quer ver bumbum mexer
The chief wants to see butts move
E o pajé quer samba no pé
And the shaman wants to samba
E o curandeiro tá de olho
And the healer is eyeing
No pandeiro
The butt
Do Brasil a Portugal sambando
From Brazil to Portugal, sambando
Foi Cabral
It was Cabral
Do Brasil a Potugal sambando
From Brazil to Portugal, sambando
Foi Cabral
It was Cabral
