Translation to:enfr

O Xote das Meninas

Mandacaru quando fulora na secaÉ o siná que a chuva chega no sertãoToda menina que enjôa da bonecaÉ siná que o amor já chegou no coração...

Meia comprida (i)Não quer mais sapato baixo (ii)Vestido bem cintadoNão quer mais vestir timão...

Ela só querSó pensa em namorarEla só querSó pensa em namorar

De manhã cedo já tá pintadaSó vive suspirando (iv)Sonhando acordadaO pai leva ao dotô a filha adoentadaNão come, nem estudaNão dorme, não quer nada...

Ela só querSó pensa em namorarEla só querSó pensa em namorar

Mas o dotô nem examinaChamando o pai de ladoLhe diz logo em surdinaQue o mal é da idadeQue prá tal meninaNão tem um só remédioEm toda medicina...

Ela só querSó pensa em namorarEla só querSó pensa em namorar

O xote das Meninas

When mandacaru flourishes in the desert...... it's a sign that the rain has come in Sertãowhen a girl becomes bored of dolls...... it's a sign that love has come into her heart

(She only wants to wear) Long sockingsShe doesn't want to wear low shoes anymore(She only wants to wear) Tight dresses[/b]She doesn't want to wear timão[/b]

She only wants... (... to fall in love)She only thinks about falling in loveShe only wants... (... to fall in love)She only thinks about falling in love

Early in the morning, she's already made upand is always sighing......and daydreamingThe father takes the diseased daughter to the doctorShe doesn't eat, neither studies anymoreShe doesn't sleep, she wants (to do) nothing

She only wants... (... to fall in love)She only thinks about falling in loveShe only wants... (... to fall in love)She only thinks about falling in love

But the doctor doesn't even examinate herHe calls the father in privateRight away he tells him softly...... that it's a sickness of her age... that, for such a girl... there doesn't exist any remedy... throuhought Medicine

She only wants... (... to fall in love)She only thinks about falling in loveShe only wants... (... to fall in love)She only thinks about falling in love
