Paroles et traduction Elba Ramalho - O Xote das Meninas

O Xote das Meninas

Mandacaru quando fulora na seca
É o sinal que a chuva chega no sertão
Toda menina que enjoa da boneca
É sinal que o amor já chegou no coração
Meia comprida, não quer mais sapato baixo
Vestido bem cintado, não quer mais vestir timão

Ela só quer, só pensa em namorar
Ela só quer, só pensa em namorar
Ela só quer, só pensa em namorar
Ela só quer, só pensa em namorar

De manhã cedo, já tá pintada
Só vive suspirando, sonhando acordada
O pai leva ao doutor a filha adoentada
Não come, não estuda, não dorme, não quer nada

Ela só quer, só pensa em namorar
Ela só quer, só pensa em namorar
Ela só quer, só pensa em namorar
Hum, só quer, só pensa em namorar

Mas o doutor nem examina
Chamando o pai de lado, lhe diz logo em surdina
O mal é da idade, e que pra tal menina
Não há um só remédio em toda a medicina

Ela só quer, só pensa em namorar
Ela só quer, só pensa em namorar
Só pensa em namorar
Ela só quer, só pensa em namorar

Mandacaru quando fulora na seca
É o sinal que a chuva chega no sertão
Toda menina que enjoa da boneca
É sinal que o amor já chegou no coração
Meia comprida, não quer mais sapato baixo
Vestido bem cintado, não quer mais vestir timão

Ela só quer, só pensa em namorar
Ela só quer, só pensa em namorar
Ela só quer, só pensa em namorar
Ela só quer, só pensa em namorar

De manhã cedo, já tá pintada
Só vive suspirando, sonhando acordada
O pai leva ao doutor a filha adoentada
Não come, não estuda, não dorme, não quer nada

Ela só quer, só pensa em namorar
Ela só quer, só pensa em namorar
Ela só quer, só pensa em namorar
Ela só quer, só pensa em namorar

Mas o doutor nem examina
Chamando o pai de lado, lhe diz logo em surdina
O mal é da idade, e que pra tal menina
Não há um só remédio em toda a medicina

Ela só quer, só pensa em namorar
Ela só quer, só pensa em namorar
Ela só quer, só pensa em namorar
Ela só quer, só pensa em namorar

Só pensa em namorar
Ela só quer, só pensa em namorar
Ela só quer, só pensa em namorar
Só pensa em namorar

Só pensa em namorar
Só pensa em namorar

The Girls' Xote

When the mandacaru blooms in the drought
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 reached her heart
Knee-high socks, she doesn't want flat shoes anymore
Tight dress, she doesn't want to wear a loose one anymore

All she wants, all she thinks about is dating
All she wants, all she thinks about is dating
All she wants, all she thinks about is dating
All she wants, all she thinks about is dating

Early in the morning, she's already made up
She just sighs, daydreaming
The father takes his sick daughter to the doctor
She doesn't eat, doesn't study, doesn't sleep, doesn't want anything

All she wants, all she thinks about is dating
All she wants, all she thinks about is dating
All she wants, all she thinks about is dating
Hmm, all she wants, all she thinks about is dating

But the doctor doesn't even examine her
Calling the father aside, he tells him quietly
It's the age, and for such a girl
There is not a single remedy in all of medicine

All she wants, all she thinks about is dating
All she wants, all she thinks about is dating
All she thinks about is dating
All she wants, all she thinks about is dating
