Chipá-Chamamé

If you think this chamamé is about love
You're wrong because that was never the idea
And of the things I like and make me happy
Today I feel like talking about just one, the one I tell here

I don't know what Mrs. Eumelia thinks of my singing
Going around in circles without getting to the point to start
And since I see you haven't guessed it yet
I'll tell you, it's a recipe on how to make chipá

With cassava flour, about a cup
Add salt, pepper, and lots of grated cheese
Mix it with ricotta, put as much as you can
So it doesn't harden and the chipá crunch

Add a couple of eggs, melted margarine
With about fifty grams, enough
And knead
It becomes a yellow, somewhat sticky dough
But if you grab it, you can release it

You'll need a baking dish or tray
Grease it with oil, butter, or something! To prevent sticking
With the dough, now, make small balls, all the same
But keep in mind, when you place them, they will rise

With the oven at full blast, place the trays
Careful not to crush the delicious chipá
You can open the oven before it's fully cooked
Because they rise due to the cheese, and won't deflate

When you see it's golden, or rather, toasted
And you see the grated cheese, you can remove them
Eat them hot, and if you're smart
In less time than singing a song, you'll know how to make chipá
