About Sonifera Ilha

"Sonífera Ilha" is the debut single by Brazilian rock band Titãs, released in 1984. The song, as well as its b-side "Toda Cor", was co-composed by Ciro Pessoa, one of the lead singers and founding members of the group, who would leave the band before the release of their first, self-titled album, in which the single and the b-side were included. "Sonífera Ilha" is among a few of Ciro's contributions to Titãs. Although coming from an album that sold poorly, the song was a great hit in Brazil. According to website "A Vitrine do Rádio" and the Rolling Stone Brasil magazine, it was the song with most airplay in the country in 1984. Then vocalist Paulo Miklos described the track in 2012 as follows: "A ska with a kinda dodecaphonic thing, a kinda weird phrase, telling a cock-and-bull story. I never knew what the song is about."The song was covered by Adriana Calcanhotto, Pato Fu and Blitz.

Ué, ué, ué

Não posso mais viver assim ao seu ladinho
Por isso colo o meu ouvido no radinho de pilha
Pra te sintonizar
Sozinha
Numa ilha

Sonífera ilha
Descansa meus olhos
Sossega minha boca
Me enche de luz

Sonífera ilha
Descansa meus olhos
Sossega minha boca
Me enche de luz

Não posso mais viver assim ao seu ladinho
Por isso colo o meu ouvido no radinho de pilha
Pra te sintonizar
Sozinha 
Numa ilha

Sonífera ilha
Descansa meus olhos
Sossega minha boca
Me enche de luz

Sonífera ilha
Descansa meus olhos
