DIVA - Chuva - Saudade E Raiva, 1985

I started a wild goose chase to try and find a halfway decent rip for this song, as the one that's usually shared around on the tubes is awfully compressed and has a bunch of time skips in the track. The ones posted here on youtube are all from the same source as well, you can go listen to them if you hate your ears. I was also even considering buying the vinyl from some online auctions, playing with the odds of a gentle soul deciding not to scam and actually ship the thing. But even if I got the vinyl then I'd have to embark on another journey of how to rip a goddamn song from a vinyl player, which I have no clue where to even to start. And the only vinyl player I have at hand is my Dad's old vinyl player with a broken needle, which I'd also have to repair.
But I kept persevering and searching, every day I'd go on soulseek and pray to Yevon that some guy somewhere might just come online with a halfway decent rip of the track. And alas, some legend called Oh_Synthetizer appeared with a fucking golden 50GBps FLAC where you can even hear the dogs barking in the background. No that's not what really happened, I got a shitty 128kbps mp3, but no skips in the song so it's like a glass of fresh water in the desert. And the track was inserted in a compilation album of Portuguese songs made by the Russian /mu/ board.

^ This thing. I only managed to get the third "disc", which honestly has some pretty decent tracks in it, particular this track "Flor Sonhada" by Manuela Moura Guedes, which if you're Portuguese you'll understand how bizarre it is what I just said.
But it's so funny to me that it was the goddamn Russians once again that bailed me out. Even with Portuguese songs it has to be the Russians once again that manage to archive it. Some years ago there was still a scene of bloggers that created endless blogs to share Portuguese music around, but now it seems it's finally gone out of fashion and most of the links are dead (RIP megaupload and rapidshare). Now they're probably tucked away in private facebook groups or wherever, who the hell knows. The centralization of the internet claims another scalp.
But getting down to the actual thing on screen, the flashing footage is basically comprised of two car videos overlayed and distorted with a bunch of filters.
These ones:
• Driving - Side - Free ...
• Looking Out the Car Wi...
Then I just I speeded up or down each layer to match the song intensity or tempo and altered other segments here and there for some other elements to match the song.
Thank you to my best buddy DJ for posting this song.
Lyrics by desudo & trx:
"Chove azul
Música aqui perto
Junto oiço
a chuva que cai
E o amor, é molhado
As gotas, que se insinuam
As gotas, que insinuam
Gotas
(pa ra ra)
(ya ya)
E o amor, é molhado
As gotas, que se insinuam
As gotas, que insinuam
Gotas
(pa ra ra)
(ya ya)
Chuva
Chuva
Chuva
Chuva"
Now regarding these lyrics we tried our best to try and understand what she's singing but I highly doubt these are accurate. They sound very strange and kind of nonsensical, so if any Portuguese wants to tackle it- AJUDEM-ME COM ESTA MERDA, CARALHO.
The lyricist is credited as Solaris and also goes by the aliases Pedro Solaris and Pedro Code, if anyone also can get in contact with him regarding the lyrics it would be ideal.
