Mandacaru quando fulora na seca
É um sinal que a chuva chega no sertão
Toda menina que enjôa da boneca
É sinal de que o amor já chegou no coração
Meia comprida, não quer mais sapato baixo
Vestido bem cintado
Não quer mais vestir gibão
Ela só quer só pensa em namorar
Remarks about the translation
Mandacaru est sans doute un terme de botanique, j'ai cru comprendre qu'il est spécifique à la région de Bahia. Un genre de cactus peut-être ?

This text has some regionalisms that may confuse the translator. Here are some:

"fulora": floresce (flourish)
"bem cintado": tight in the waist
"gibão": 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.
