| Lisboa - Portugal |
 |
Lisbon (Portuguese: Lisboa, IPA: [liʒ'boɐ])
is the capital and largest city of Portugal.
It is also the seat of the district of Lisbon
and capital of the Lisbon region. Its
municipality, which matches the city proper
excluding the larger continuous conurbation,
has a municipal population of 564,477[1] in
84.8 km² (33 sq mi), while the Lisbon
Metropolitan Area in total has around 2.8
million inhabitants, and 3.34 million people
live in the broader agglomeration of Lisbon
Metropolitan Region (includes cities ranging
from Leiria to Setúbal).[2] Due to its
economic output, standard of living, and
market size, the Grande Lisboa (Greater
Lisbon) subregion is considered the second
most important financial and economic center
of the Iberian Peninsula.The Lisbon region is
the wealthiest region in Portugal and it is
well above the European Union's GDP per
capita average - it produces 45% of the
Portuguese GDP. It is also the political
center of the country, as seat of government
and residence of the Head of State.
Lisbon was under Roman rule from 205 BC;
Julius Caesar made it a municipium called
Felicitas Julia. Ruled by a series of
Germanic tribes from the 5th century, it was
captured by Moors in the 8th century. In
1147, the Crusaders under Afonso Henriques
reconquered the city for the Christians and
since then it has been a major political,
economic and cultural center of Portugal.
Unlike most capital cities, Lisbon's status
as the capital of Portugal has never been
granted or confirmed officially—by statute
or in written form. Its position as the
capital has formed through constitutional
convention, making its position as de facto
capital a part of the Constitution of
Portugal.
Lisbon hosts two agencies of the European
Union, namely, the European Monitoring Centre
for Drugs and Drug Addiction (EMCDDA) and the
European Maritime Safety Agency (EMSA). The
Community of Portuguese Language Countries
(CPLP), is also headquartered in Lisbon.
The present mayor of Lisbon is António
Costa, elected by the Socialist Party.
The municipal holiday is June 13, St.
Anthony's Day.

| Moro em Lisboa - Madredeus |
 |
One of the most beautiful Madredeus's songs
that makes me dream see the city
"Raised above the sea
by a river
has finally been elevated
Amidst two arms of water
One of salt, the other of nothing...".
Enjoy!
Madredeus - "Moro em Lisboa"
Letra e música de Pedro Ayres Magalhães
Que outra cidade
Levantada sobre o mar
Á beira rio
Acabou por se elevar
Entre dois braços de água
Um de sal, outro de nada
Água doce, água salgada
Águas que abraçam Lisboa
É em Lisboa
Que o Tejo chega ao mar
É em Lisboa
Que o mar azul recebe o rio
E essa brisa que nos faz
Promessas de viagem
Brisa fresca que reclama
as nossas almas ausentes
Suave
cidade
do sal
do mar
Moro em Lisboa
E a tarde cai
Madredeus - "I Live in Lisbon"
Lyrics and Music by Pedro Ayres Magalhães
What other city
Raised above the sea
by a river
has finally been elevated
Amidst two arms of water
One of salt, the other of nothing
Sweet water, salty water
Waters that embrace Lisbon
It's in Lisbon
That the Tagus reaches the sea
It's in Lisbon
That the blue sea receives the river
And that breeze that makes us
Travelling promises
The cool breeze that claims
Our absent souls
Soft
city
of the salt
of the sea
I live in Lisbon
And the afternoon falls
