Girl From Ipanema Goes To The Ionosphere

Yet another one of my crazy shortwave-radio song ID requests, this time (I believe) in Portuguese. Please check it out.

Apologies, first of all, for the hideous bursts of noise. Damn antenna kept falling over.

Anyway, I managed to record the chorus (twice) and the announcer, but I can't quite make it out. "Otra Palabra?" "Otra Palada?" And is there an artist mentioned?

Much appreciated as always...

Best answer: It's 'Outras Palavras' by Caetano Veloso.

If you need help with translation, let me know!

"Tudo seu azul, tudo céu, tudo azul e furta-cor
Tudo meu amor, tudo mel, tudo amor e ouro e sol
Na televisão, na palavra, no átimo, no chão
Quero essa mulher solamente pra mim, mais, muito mais
Rima, pra que faz tanto, mas tudo dor, amor e gozo:
Outras palavras"

Response by poster: Oh, brilliant. I knew that wouldn't take long.

And I should have recognized Caetano Veloso! Urk, take away my music-geek stripes...

Thanks, Zé Pequeno!
