The opening lyrics of "Prefixo de Verão" are repetitive and serve more as a chant or mantra than as proper verses or choruses. The repetition of sounds such as "ae", "ei", and "oô" give the song a tribal or communal feel, as if the listener is part of a group or party.
The lyrics of the song speak of waiting for someone in the summer, in a new season. The line "Te espero no verão" translates to "I'll wait for you in the summer," suggesting a sense of anticipation and excitement for someone's arrival. The name Salvador is mentioned, indicating that the song may be about the city of Salvador in Brazil, which is known for its vibrant culture and Carnival celebrations. The line "O negro é raça é fruto do amor" translates to "The black race is a fruit of love," perhaps an ode to the diversity and inclusivity of Brazil's culture.
Overall, "Prefixo de Verão" captures the energy and spirit of summertime in Brazil, with its lively rhythm and lyrics that speak of love, anticipation, and celebration.
