O Xote Das Meninas

Mandacaru when it blooms in the dryness
It's a sign that the rain arrives in the backlands
Every girl who gets tired of her doll
It's a sign that love has already reached her heart
Long socks, no longer wants low shoes
Dress well cinched, no longer wants to wear a plain one

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 and doesn't want anything

She just wants, just thinks about dating
She just wants, just thinks about dating

But the doctor doesn't even examine
Calling the father aside, he quickly tells him in a whisper
That the problem is her age and that for such a girl
There is not a single remedy in all of medicine

She just wants, just thinks about dating
She just wants, just thinks about dating
