This recurring line reinforces the idea of community and cooperation, essential values for young children. The final verse brings all the children together, celebrating their unique ways of dancing and encouraging them to express themselves freely. Through its lively rhythm and engaging lyrics, 'Ciranda Dos Bichos' becomes a joyful celebration of movement, imagination, and camaraderie.
