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 Southwestern Europe. The urban area of Porto, which extends beyond the administrative limits of the city, has a population of 1.4 million (2011) in an area of 389 km2 (150 sq mi), making it the second-largest urban area in Portugal. Porto Metropolitan Area, on the other hand, includes an estimated 1.8 million people. It is recognized as a Gamma-level global city by the Globalization and World Cities (GaWC) Study Group, the only Portuguese city besides Lisbon to be recognised as a global city.
Located along the Douro river estuary in Northern Portugal, Porto is one of the oldest European centres, and its historical core was proclaimed a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1996. The western part of its urban area extends to the coastline of the Atlantic Ocean. Its settlement dates back many centuries, when it was an outpost of the Roman Empire. Its combined Celtic-Latin name, Portus Cale, has been referred to as the origin of the name "Portugal", based on transliteration and oral evolution from Latin. In Portuguese, the name of the city is spelled with a definite article ("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.

Se voce está desiludido por causa de um relacionamento que não deu certo, irá encontrar ressonância para os seus sentimentos na letra desta canção de um dos artistas mais prolíficos da atualidade. A produção é simples, mas a música, arrebatadora. Com sua voz romântica e cheia de emoção, Bruno Mars é capaz de arrancar lágrimas de qualquer um que acredite no amor verdadeiro. Tentei, com a minha locução, reproduzir na nossa língua os sentimentos mais sublimes expressos neste grande sucesso do Mars. Vale a pena curtir!
Essa música é que abre o disco de Pepeu Gomes , intitulado " Energia positiva" gravado em 1985. Vi o show no dia 19 de maio de 2019 e me inspirou gravar esse vídeo. Salve! Pepeu Gomes.
Sozinho é um canção escrita por Peninha através da qual recebeu o Prêmio Sharp de melhor música em 1997.[A canção se tornou conhecida após interpretação de Sandra de Sá e, mais tarde, especialmente conhecida em gravação de Caetano Veloso no CD Prenda Minha. Seu sucesso se deu em grande parte pela inclusão da música na trilha sonora da novela Suave Veneno. Caetano ouviu a canção pela rádio na voz da Sandra de Sá e decidiu cantá-la em seu próximo show, especialmente após descobriu que foi escrita por Peninha, embora assumisse sentir-se intimidado após ouvir outra versão - a de Tim Maia, descrita por Caetano como "arrasadora
