  Você Não Entende Nada by Caetano Veloso (1970)
  Source.
  Amazing performance at Coliseu dos Recreios, Lisbon. 1981. Discogs says original album is Legal (1970), but wiki page and photos of back disagree...
  This song talks about a man's mixed desires to remain with his partner and also escape to adventure. It contains one of the most amazing sexual innuendo ever recorded: the man describes foods that his partner will serve him, and the he endlessly eats and eats and eats:
  eu como, eu como, eu como, você [... huge intentional pause ...] não está entendendo quase nada do que eu digo.
  translation:
  I eat, I eat, I eat, you [... huge intentional pause ...] don't understand anything that I'm saying.
  which makes it unclear "you" is part of "I eat you" (to eat (comer) is a slang for fucking), or if "you" is part of the next sentence.

  Partido Alto by Caetano Veloso (1972)

Samba e Amor by Caetano Veloso (1975)
Source. Cover from original song by Chico Buarque, original album Chico Buarque de Hollanda - Nº4. Desperately reminds Ciro of his University day weekend nights. Except that there was no Samba. And little Amor. Mostly a silent and wholesome loneliness and emulation.

Georde de Capadócia by Caetano Veloso (1975)
Source.
Composed by Jorge Ben, but this interpretation is remarkable. corpo fechado (closed body) style song. This idea is much linked to Capoeira/African religion idea. E.g. a more traditional capoeira corpo fechado song: www.youtube.com/watch?v=tfd9j6XFmSg

Tigresa by Caetano Veloso (1977)
Source. Talks about a strong willed, unapologetic, disenchanted, but also hopeful brown skinned lover: a tigress. Ciro once knew one, but it wasn't meant to be.

1978 album Muito (Dentro da Estrela Azulada)
Video 12.
Sampa by Caetano Veloso (1978)
Source.
"Sampa" is an affectionate slang for São Paulo City. The song perfectly captures the city, and reminds Ciro so badly of his University days there.
[D]a força da grana que ergue e destroi coisas belas
The power of money that builds and destroy beautiful things
Video 13.
Terra by Caetano Veloso (1978)
Source.
"Terra" means Earth in Portuguese.
Ciro used to watch a television nature show called "Planeta Terra" in the legendary TV Cultura with his parents in the couch when he was young, and under a duvet when it was a bit cold. Those days were the best. The narrator's lady voice was particularly soothing, and would easily put you in a kind of sleepy trance, her name is Valéria Grillo
TODO what was the original show exactly? Here is a sample: www.youtube.com/watch?v=vNwfYEMdrRU Very likely just a translation of some British nature show with a custom Brazilian intro and presenter. Credits at end mention English narrator: "Eugene Fraser", and "Thirteen WNET Nature" production, which produced Nature (1982) that ran since 1982, making that a likely candidate.
1980
Video 14.
Menino do Rio by Caetano Veloso (1980)
Source. Apparently served as inspiration for the Menino do Rio (1980) movie, which is silly, but a worthwhile record of the times.
1984 Velô (1984)
Video 15.
O Quereres by Caetano Veloso (1984)
Source. Notable quote from the chorus that is often in Ciro's mind:
Ah, bruta flor, do querer
translation:
Oh, brute flower of the wanting
