The song captures a moment of pure, unfiltered creativity. Borges describes how he and Horta played their guitars and sang together, emphasizing the fun and excitement of the experience. The repetition of 'tocou, tocou, tocou' and 'cantou, cantou, cantou' mimics the rhythm and flow of their jam session, making the listener feel as if they are part of the musical journey. This repetition also highlights the organic and unplanned nature of their collaboration, where the music flowed naturally and effortlessly.
