Nutridinha

English translation

Chubby little girl

Olá ta bem quel menininha

Here comes this young girl

Co sê corpim nutridinha

With her chubby little body

Trá oi del ca bô espial

But you shouldn't look at her too much

Pa mô sê mãe ca ba sotal

Otherwise her mother will punish her

O que el sinti el ê que buscal

She deserves what she's getting

Ca bô estôd ta inguiçal

You shouldn't bother her

Pa mô já el entrá na idade

Because she is old enough

Agore ê sô maternidade

Motherhood is round the corner

Es menininha d'hoje em dia

These young girls today

Ca ta sinti cobardia

Don't fear anything

Bô ta fazês coladêra

Someone composed a coladêra for them

Es t'mal na brincadéra

And they just don't care, they joke about it
