Vatapá

If you want vatapá, oh
Then start by making
First the cornmeal
Then the palm oil
Find a Bahian gal, oh
Who knows how to stir
Who knows how to stir
Who knows how to stir

Add cashew nuts
A little more
Malagueta pepper
A little more
Peanuts, shrimp, grate a coconut
When it's time to crush
Salt with ginger and onion, hey
When it's time to season

Don't stop stirring, oh
So it doesn't clump
Pot on the fire
Don't let it burn
With just ten thousand reais and a gal, oh
You make a vatapá
You make a vatapá
What a good vatapá
