Porto (Portuguese pronunciation: [ˈpoɾtu]), also known as Oporto in English, is the second largest city in Portugal, after Lisbon, and one of the major urban areas in Southern Europe. Its administrative limits (an area of 41.66 km²/16 sq.mi) include a population of 237,584 (2011) inhabitants distributed within 15 civil parishes. The urbanized area of Porto, which extends beyond the administrative limits of the city, has a population of 1.3 million (2011) in an area of 389 km2 (150 sq mi), making it the second-largest urban area in Portugal. The Porto Metropolitan Area includes approximately 1.7 million people, and is recognized as a Gamma-level global city by the Globalization and World Cities (GaWC) Study Group, being one of the four cities in the peninsula with global city status (the others being Madrid, Barcelona and Lisbon).
Located along the Douro river estuary in northern Portugal, Porto is one of the oldest European centres, and registered as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1996. Its settlement dates back many centuries, when it was an outpost of the Roman Empire. Its Latin name, Portus Cale, has been referred to as the origin for the name "Portugal," based on transliteration and oral evolution from Latin. In Portuguese the name of the city is spelled with a definite article as "o Porto" (English: the port). Consequently, its English name evolved from a misinterpretation of the oral pronunciation and referred to as "Oporto" in modern literature and by many speakers.

inside my hotel room
the word upon these beautiful streets
sweet poetry is born, here
who knew these dreams inside my head
would reach my seed sown soul
and hear those things that seem so far away
they seem to be so near
Is it wrong to want love
is it wrong to never hate
these things that make you all so crooked
they seem to make me straight
hey son do you know where your coming from
hey jack do you know that you ain't mine
hey boy do you know that you ain't mine
hey boy do you know where you wanna run
do you know why you cant cry
You stupid boy
your worthless all the same
got too much high
got too little brain
never thought you'd see the day
the day that come a man
now you know
you know that i am
you know that i am
you know that i am
