Full lyrics
Cozinhar qualquer mulher cozinha
Mais igual a zefinha eu ainda estou pra ver
Sua comida não é brincadeira
É mesmo de primeira todo mundo quer comer
Todo mundo quer comer
Quer comer
Todo mundo quer comer
Quer comer
Faz caruru, vatapá e cabidela
Porém o mais gostoso é a tapioca dela
A tapioca dela, a tapioca dela
De tudo mais gostoso é a tapioca dela
Tem uma goma que nem a luz do dia
Tão clara e macia e ela ainda bota coco
Não há igual nem no norte e nem no sul
É do tamanho de um bijou e deixa todo mundo louco
Translation
Any woman can cook
But one like Zefinha, I have yet to see
Her food is no joke
It's truly first-rate, everyone wants to eat it
Everyone wants to eat it
Wants to eat it
Everyone wants to eat it
Wants to eat it
She makes caruru, vatapá, and cabidela
But the most delicious is her tapioca
Her tapioca, her tapioca
Of everything, the most delicious is her tapioca
It has a tapioca as clear as daylight
So clear and soft, and she even adds coconut
There's none like it, neither in the north nor in the south
It's the size of a bijou and drives everyone crazy
