Vatapá
João Bosco
Vatapá
If you want vatapá, oh
Then try to make it
First the cornmeal
Then the palm oil
Find a Bahian black woman
Who knows how to stir
Who knows how to stir
Who knows how to stir
Add cashew nuts
A little more
Bird's eye chili
A little more
Peanuts, shrimp, grate the coconut
When it's time to crush
Salt with ginger and onion, darling
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 black woman, oh
You make a vatapá
You make a vatapá
You make a vatapá
