A Prosa
Terno Rei Lyrics

In Terno Rei's song "A Prosa," the singer is waiting for a woman whom he refers to as "a moça" who has a great personality and whom he wants to impress with his words. He is acutely aware of the lighthouse, which suggests he is near the coast and that perhaps he is a sailor or a fisherman. The urgency in his voice suggests that he is running late, and his repetition of "Não posso mais me atrasar/I can't be late anymore" reveals his anxiety. The singer admires this woman because she understands him well and does everything he likes. She also sings everything he does, which suggests a sense of companionship and intimacy. However, he acknowledges that he does not have much to offer her in return, and his silence is a drawback. The singer's primary and perhaps sole goal is to please the woman and stay faithful to their relationship.

The song's themes revolve around love, companionship, and the desire for acceptance. The lyrics depict the male protagonist as a somewhat anxious, yet devoted lover who admires his partner's qualities while feeling insecure about his own. The urgency in his voice as he watches the lighthouse reveals his excitement and apprehension about the prospect of seeing his lover again. The lyrical repetition of certain phrases, such as "a moça tem jeito bom/she has a good way," suggests his profound admiration for this woman. The song's crescendo at the end also illustrates the singer's feelings of joy and contentment when he hears his lover laugh.
