Full lyrics
Rita peneira, peneira a massa
Sua peneira não se fura e nem se gasta
Peneira Rita, faz a vontade do moço
Peneira Rita, separa o bagaço grosso
Peneira Rita, não se importe com ninguém
No peneirado é só você e mais ninguém
Translation
Rita sifts, sifts the flour dough
Her sieve doesn't get holes and doesn't wear out
Sift, Rita, do the young man's will
Sift, Rita, separate the coarse dregs
Sift, Rita, don't mind anyone
In the sifting, it's just you and no one else
