The city that never sleeps

"If I can make it there

I'll make it anywhere

It's up to you

New York, New York

New York, New York

I want to wake up

In a city that never sleeps

And find I'm a number one, top of the list

King of the hill, a number one"

                                 Frank Sinatra, New York New York

"Grew up in a town

That is famous as a place

Of movie scenes

Noise is always loud

There are sirens all around

And the streets are mean

(...)

New York

Concrete jungle where dreams are made of

There's nothing you can't do

Now you're in New York"

                             Alicia Keys, Empire State of Mind

New York, Nova Iorque, Nova York... Seja qual for a língua falada esta cidade será sempre aquela onde nunca se dorme, sobre a qual todos sonham, que parece irreal...
