The phrase "Um som mavioso ouvi soar" ("A melodious sound I heard resound") suggests that the very mention of Jesus' name is like beautiful music to the ears, highlighting its spiritual and emotional impact.
The repetition of the line "O nome que inspira amor" ("The name that inspires love") underscores the central theme of the song: the name of Jesus is a source of boundless love and inspiration.
