Title	Mandacaru quando fulora na seca Ã‰ um sinal que a...
Text to be translated Submitted by Explorator	Source language: Brazilian Portuguese Mandacaru quando fulora na seca Ã‰ um sinal que a chuva chega no sertÃ£o Toda menina que enjÃ´a da boneca Ã‰ sinal de que o amor jÃ¡ chegou no coraÃ§Ã£o Meia comprida, nÃ£o quer mais sapato baixo Vestido bem cintado NÃ£o quer mais vestir gibÃ£o Ela sÃ³ quer sÃ³ pensa em namorar
Remarks about the translation	Mandacaru est sans doute un terme de botanique, j'ai cru comprendre qu'il est spÃ©cifique Ã la rÃ©gion de Bahia. Un genre de cactus peut-Ãªtre ? NOTES: /NOTES regionalisms that may confuse the translator/ expressions employÃ©es rÃ©gionalement pouvant embarrasser le traducteur "fulora": floresce (flourish)/ (sommitÃ© fleurie) "bem cintado": tight in the waist/(serrÃ© Ã la taille) "gibÃ£o": a kind of leather jacket./(un genre de blouson de cuir) MANDACARU is a species of CACTUS. /(Mandaracu est une variÃ©tÃ© de cactus) This text is a part of the lyrics from the song Xote das Meninas, by Luiz Gonzaga/ Ce texte est une partie des paroles de la chanson "xote das meninas, de Luis Gonzaga

	goncin Number of messages: 3706	This text has some regionalisms that may confuse the translator. Here are some: "fulora": floresce (flourish) "bem cintado": tight in the waist "gibÃ£o": a kind of leather jacket. And yes, mandacaru is a species of cactus. This text is a part of the lyrics from the song Xote das Meninas, by Luiz Gonzaga, a very well known harmonica player and singer from Brazilian Northeast, already deceased. The lyrics compare the flourishing of mandacaru with the arrive of a girl to her teens.
