Xote das Meninas

MandacaruMandacaru
When it blooms in the drynessQuando flora na seca
It's a sign that the rain is coming to the backlandsÉ o sinal que a chuva chega no sertão
Every girl who gets tired of her dollToda menina que enjoa da boneca
It's a sign that love has already arrived in her heartÉ sinal de que o amor já chegou no coração

Long sockMeia comprida
No longer wants low shoesNão quer mais sapato baixo
Dress well cinchedVestido bem cintado
No longer wants to wear overallsNão quer mais vestir gibão

She just wantsEla só quer
Only thinks about datingSó pensa em namorar
She just wantsEla só quer
Only thinks about datingSó pensa em namorar

Early in the morning she's already made upDe manhã cedo já está pintada
She just sighsSó vive suspirando
DaydreamingSonhando acordada
Her father takes her to the doctorO pai leva ao doutor
The sick daughterA filha adoentada
Doesn't eat, doesn't studyNão come, nem estuda
Doesn't sleep, doesn't want anythingNão dorme, não quer nada

She just wantsEla só quer
Only thinks about datingSó pensa em namorar
She just wantsEla só quer
Only thinks about datingSó pensa em namorar

But the doctor doesn't even examine herMas o doutor nem examina
Calling the father asideChamando o pai do lado
He tells him quietlyLhe diz logo em surdina
That it's just her ageQue o mal é da idade
And that for such a girlE que pra tal menina
There's not a single remedyNão tem um só remédio
In all of medicineEm toda medicina

She just wantsEla só quer
Only thinks about datingSó pensa em namorar
She just wantsEla só quer
Only thinks about datingSó pensa em namorar
