I've added two more eligibility categories to exclude Disney songs:
- Can't all be songs covered the same year of its release
- Disney songs will not be counted.
https://lyricstranslate.com/en/pery-ribeiro-garota-de-ipanema-lyrics.html- This may be the most famous Brazilian song ever. I need to check if there are other entries that are not linked to Pery's one (and I can give you the year they've been released, I would just need some time).
It was originally written in 1963 but there seems to be two releases prior to Ribeiro's version:
