"Sonífera Ilha" (Sleepy Island) 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.
The song has been covered by artists such as Adriana Calcanhotto, Pato Fu and Blitz, among others (see details below).
"Toda Cor" was included in the soundtrack of the 1984 film Bete Balanço.
