Cornmeal Sifter

Oh, step on the corn, cornmeal sifter
Oh, step on the corn, cornmeal sifter
I won't raise chickens
To give chicks to anyone

In my land
Everything you plant grows
Brazil gives so many things
That I can't even remember
Mrs. Chiquinha
Grind the corn
For the porridge, for the cornmeal
For the cornmeal, for the hominy

Only those who don't know how to work
Go hungry
This life is very good
For those who know how to take advantage
I grab the sieve
And start shaking it
On one side is the cornmeal
On the other comes the cornmeal
Shake, shake, shake, already
Cornmeal sifter

Oh, step on the corn...
