O Xote Das Meninas
Elba Ramalho
The Girls' Xote
Mandacaru when it blooms in the dryness
It's a sign that the rain is coming to the backlands
Every girl who gets tired of her doll
It's a sign that love has already arrived in her heart
Long socks, no longer wants low shoes
Dress cinched tight, no longer wants to wear loose
She just wants (just thinks about dating)
She just wants (just thinks about dating)
She just wants (just thinks about dating)
She just wants (just thinks about dating)
Early in the morning, she's already made up
She only sighs, daydreaming
The father takes the sick daughter to the doctor
She doesn't eat, doesn't study
Doesn't sleep, doesn't want anything
But the doctor doesn't even examine
Calling the father aside, he tells him quietly
The problem is her age and that for such a girl
There is no remedy in all of medicine
