Xote da Meninas
Nordestinos do Forró
Girls' Xote
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
Mid-calf socks
No longer wants low shoes
Dress well cinched
No longer wants to wear a jacket
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
Her father takes her to the doctor
The sick daughter
Doesn't eat, doesn't study
Doesn't sleep, 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 tells him quietly
The problem is the age
That the girl has
There is not a single remedy
In all of medicine
She just wants, just thinks about dating
She just wants, just thinks about dating
