Tribotchan

I want to see India move
I want to see India move
I also want to see India move
I want to see India move

Tchan comes to tell
What the story didn't tell
That for a Bahian Indian
Cabral fell in love
That for a Bahian Indian
Cabral fell in love

Tchan comes to tell
What the story didn't tell
That for a Bahian Indian
Cabral fell in love
That for a Bahian Indian
Cabral fell in love

For the bouncy swing she dances
For your tanned body that sways
Portuguese costume entered the samba
And the Patchanxó Indian called it that

Tchancurú, tchanxegô
Catchanbá, tchan popô
Paquetchan, tchanrerê
Tchansamba, tchanmexê

I'll translate
On the head, on the knee
On the chest, on the butt
Belly, waist
This Indian still kills one

Chief wants to see butt move
And the shaman wants samba on his feet
And the healer
Keep an eye on the tambourine

From Brazil to Portugal
Sambando was Cabral
From Brazil to Portugal
Sambando was Cabral

While Cabral sambas, Pero Vaz walks
Catching the beat of this little Indian girl
While Cabral sambas, Pero Vaz walks
Catching the beat of this little Indian girl

For the bouncy swing she dances
For your tanned body that sways
Portuguese costume entered the samba
And the Patchanxó Indian called it that

Tchancurú, tchanxegô
Catchanbá, tchan popô
Paquetchan, tchanrerê
Tchansamba, tchanmexê

I'll translate
On the head, on the knee
On the chest, on the butt
Belly, waist
This Indian still kills one

Tchancurú, tchanxegô
Catchanbá, tchan popô
Paquetchan, tchanrerê
Tchansamba, tchanmexê

I'll translate
On the head, on the knee
On the chest, on the butt
Belly, waist
This Indian still kills one
