CONTENTS SUMMARY
Furacão (Hurricane)
Anda, nasce inteiro, sai da toca
Viver de novo é o passo que nos falta
Sai do buraco negro que se instala
Já não é segredo, corta a bala
Come on, be born whole, come out of the hole
Living again is the step we lack
Get out of the black hole that settles in
It's no longer a secret, cut the bullet

Furacão is an electrifying pep-talk from Portugal’s Amor Electro. The singer calls us to step out of our hiding places, shake off old routines, and be “born whole” once again. The repeated image of a hurricane is not about destruction, but about unstoppable energy: a swirling force of love that can sweep through a crowd, wake us up, and pull us toward a brighter side of life.

Throughout the lyrics we hear a cascade of lively commands—open the door, kick the ball, learn the tango, hug your kids, forgive, sing the groove. Each one urges us to keep moving, keep loving, and never “páres,” or stop. The message is simple yet powerful: when we fuel ourselves with joy, affection, and bold action, we can start over right where we stand and discover we are still far from reaching our limits. In other words, every listener is invited to become a personal hurricane of positive change, spinning with passion and possibility.

Cai Neve Em Nova York (Snow Falls In New York)
A neve cai, tapando as ruas
Num manto corroído cor marfim
Eu sigo só na multidão
P'ra descobrir o homem que há em mim
The snow falls, covering the streets
In a corroded mantle the color of ivory
I walk alone in the crowd
To discover the man within me

Picture this: snowflakes blanket New York City while a lone Portuguese wanderer whistles through the avenues, hands tucked in his pockets. Beneath that icy silence he longs for the golden sun of Lisbon, the warmth of familiar streets, and the glow of sunsets he can no longer find—even on Sunset Boulevard. As he strolls past neon signs and chance encounters (like a stranger offering a cigarette on 42nd Street), he keeps reminding himself that the reckless life he left behind is sealed off forever.

The song is a heartfelt contrast between two worlds—cold exile versus sunny homeland, anonymity versus belonging. By repeating “Ninguém vai-me encontrar” (“No one will find me”), the narrator celebrates the freedom of starting over, yet every snow-covered step echoes homesickness for Portugal. “Cai Neve Em Nova York” is both a travel postcard and an inner journey of self-discovery, inviting us to feel the sting of winter air while dreaming of Atlantic sunsets and the chance to reinvent ourselves.

Rasga A Saudade (Tear The Longing)
Adeus, leva o sonho escondido
Guarda-o no peito
Que te aqueça nas noites frias
Cai
Goodbye, take the hidden dream
Keep it in your chest
So it warms you on cold nights
Fall

Rasga A Saudade is an electrifying pop-rock anthem where Amor Electro turns nostalgia into a rallying cry: tear open the longing, tuck your hidden dreams close like a secret heat for cold nights, and sprint back to the place that truly feels like home. The lyrics paint love as a stubborn flame—one that refuses to leave, heals and hurts in equal measure, and needs nothing more than its own existence to be right. While memories can sting, the song urges you to ignite your heart, let your dreams sail free, and trust that whoever loves simply has reason enough. In short, it is a pulsating reminder to embrace passion, honor your desires, and let love guide every bold return to yourself.

Vai Dar Confusão (It Will Cause Confusion)
Sei
Que não resultou
Porque fiz e não fiz
E nada mudou
Know
That didn't work
Because I did and didn't do
And nothing has changed

Amor Electro throw us into a thrilling whirlwind of self-doubt, desire and head-spinning love. The narrator keeps bouncing between opposites – doing and not doing, wanting and then refusing, feeling imprisoned by both having and not having. In the middle of this seesaw stands a breathtaking muse, described as “lethal magic” and a “pure, rare anomaly”, the one person who breaks all logic while making life worth the mess.

The chorus warns that if you try to pin down every why and how – Respirar o que hei-de ser ou não ser… – it’s bound to “give confusion”. Over-analysing feelings, obsessing over emotional intelligence and chasing scientific explanations for the heart’s chaos can leave you more lost than enlightened. The song’s playful message: embrace the contradictions, listen to both the A-side and the elusive B-side of life, and let the beautiful insanity of love keep you breathing and questioning all at once.

Procura Por Mim (Search For Me)
Lembra-me
Das minhas fraquezas
E eu conto-te como as tornei
Nas minhas certezas
Remind me
Of my weaknesses
And I'll tell you how I turned them
Into my certainties

Imagine having someone who whispers: “Whenever you feel lost, just look for me.” That is the heartbeat of “Procura Por Mim”. Amor Electro turns moments of doubt into sparks of courage, showing how our past weaknesses can become rock-solid certainties. Life is a relentless machine that “não pára,” so the song invites us to keep moving, trust the journey, and let love be the GPS when our inner compass fails.

As time blurs memories and what we once were drifts into the sky like fading stars, the chorus promises a constant refuge: procura por mim—search for me—and love will soothe the ache. Whether you change “the color” of your path or wander off it completely, the singer vows to carry you in your own words, reminding us that true connection can reignite the fire in our hearts whenever it cools.

Juntos Somos Mais Fortes (Together We Are Stronger)
É o amor
Correndo o mundo todo em busca do calor
A noite espera pela hora do nosso esplendor
A luz acesa preparada para os dias de afeição
It's love
Running all over the world in search of warmth
The night awaits the hour of our splendor
The light on, ready for days of affection

“Juntos Somos Mais Fortes” bursts with the idea that love is a travelling flame—racing around the globe in search of warmth and connection. Amor Electro paints vivid images: the night waiting for our moment of glory, a light left on for days filled with affection, and a table set for an ever-growing family. Every line feels like an invitation to open your heart and make room for more people at the feast of life.

The chorus rises like an anthem, repeating that “together, we are stronger.” When we unite, we become the sky that hugs the whole world and the voice that sparks new waves of love. The song reminds learners that community turns individual sparks into a brilliant blaze, encouraging us to reach out, link arms, and let our combined energy brighten everything and everyone around us.

Miúda Do Café (Cafe Girl)
Mais um dia sem sorrir
Só me pede o que não tem
Nem os olhos põe em mim
Não repara no que eu sei
Another day without smiling
Only asks me for what it doesn't have
Doesn't even look at me
Doesn't notice what I know

Imagine the shy waitress from your neighborhood café slipping out of her apron, stepping into high heels and bright lipstick, and deciding that tonight the spotlight is hers. Miúda do Café tells that story: the girl who has spent her days serving coffee to a modern "James Dean" finally gets tired of being overlooked. With a playful mix of teasing and swagger, she flips the script, showing him the woman he doesn’t have and reminding him that she knows exactly what makes him dance.

Beneath the vibrant pop–rock groove beats a message of confidence, self-worth, and empowerment. The chorus line "Não fiz por mal" ("I meant no harm") reveals she isn’t cruel, just done being invisible. Each refrain becomes her personal catwalk: she owns the floor, claims one more dance for herself, and proves that the coffee-shop girl no longer serves—she rules. Sometimes the boldest confidence is brewed in the simplest places.

A Nossa Casa (Our House)
Hoje o dia é mortal
Já não tenho tempo
O papel já chegou e ninguém me avisou
Que esta casa mudou
Today the day is deadly
I no longer have time
The paper has arrived and no one warned me
That this house has changed

In "A Nossa Casa" Amor Electro turn an ordinary house into a powerful metaphor for a relationship facing its toughest storm. The day feels mortal, sirens blare alarme total, and the clock strikes an aviso final. Walls seem to bleed, but the singer refuses to let fear tear the couple apart, vowing to tatuar their devotion and keep their loved one close.

Behind the urgent beat, the song becomes a call to action: speak up, fight on, protect what is yours. It celebrates resilience and passion, reminding us that when hearts stay fearless and honest, "our house" will always stand strong—no matter how loud the alarm sounds.

Mar Salgado (Salt Sea)
Quase perto
Quase a ter-te amor
Quase certo
Já sinto o sabor
Almost close
Almost having you, love
Almost certain
I already feel the taste

Feel the ocean breeze and the electric buzz of first love. “Mar Salgado” paints romance as an exhilarating swim in Portugal’s salty Atlantic. The singer is almost there – so close she can already taste the kiss, feel the warmth and hear her own heartbeat racing. Every “quase” (almost) heightens the tension, turning anticipation into a playful game of will-they-won’t-they that keeps listeners on the edge of the shore.

Then the tide rushes in. Passion crashes like waves against a cliff, sweeping both lovers into an embrace that belongs only to them. The “salty sea” on her lips hints at tears, sweat and the unmistakable flavor of desire, while “vou perder-me de vez” promises total surrender. It is a bold invitation to dive deep, forget past goodbyes and let the water of emotion wash away fear. By the final chorus, love is as vast and untamable as the ocean itself – wild, refreshing and gloriously alive.

No Esplendor Do Vendaval (In The Splendor Of Gale)
Como um trovão carregado de memórias
Quis mostrar-te quem eu era
Tu não ligaste, saíste porta afora
E eu fiquei à tua espera
Like a thunder loaded with memories
I wanted to show you who I was
You didn't care, you left through the door
And I waited for you

“No Esplendor do Vendaval” paints a love story that feels like dancing inside a storm. The singer remembers an electric, thunder-like passion full of memories. She once waited faithfully, swept away by the scent and intensity of a partner who burst back into her life for a “final dance.” Yet the very wind that fanned their desire soon reveals the lover’s weakness: he returns as a beggar, stripped of pride, pleading for forgiveness at her feet. Through images of shutters closing and a calm settling after the gale, she claims her own power and dignity.

By the end, his desperate cries—“Nunca mais” (“Never again”)—echo unanswered. The storm has passed, and she chooses not to rebuild what the wind has already torn apart. The song mixes fierce natural imagery with a clear message of self-respect: passion can be thrilling, but true strength lies in knowing when to close the window on a love that no longer stands firm.

Só É Fogo Se Queimar (It's Only Fire If It Burns)
Mais uma promessa
Mais um dia a duvidar
Mais outro remendo à pressa
Mais
One more promise
One more day to doubt
Another quick fix
More

Amor Electro invites us into a whirlwind of saudade and passion where each day feels like another hastily sewn patch on a restless heart. The narrator drifts between promises, doubts, and the irresistible pull to find the one who makes time stop. Longing presses in like a lack of air, yet the mere idea of being asked to dance can send the body soaring, weightless and free.

The chorus lays out the song’s playful philosophy: “Só é dor se for vontade de agarrar / Só é fogo se queimar.” Pain exists only when we cling, fire only when it burns, happiness only while it lasts. Rather than fearing love’s volatility, the lyrics encourage us to revel in the moment — to feel the spark, dance through the fleeting heat, and accept that true intensity lives hand in hand with impermanence.

Adeus Tristeza (Goodbye Sadness)
Na minha vida tive palmas e fracassos
Fui amargura feita notas e compassos
Aconteceu-me estar no palco atrás do pano
Tive a promessa de um contrato por um ano
In my life I had applause and failures
I was bitterness made notes and measures
It happened to me to be on stage behind the curtain
I had the promise of a contract for a year

Adeus Tristeza is like flipping through the pages of a musician’s diary, full of standing ovations, missed opportunities, hungry dreams, and heart-stings. Verse after verse, the narrator lists the highs (contracts, applause, kisses) and the lows (broken promises, empty interviews, ignored songs). It all builds a vivid picture of an artist who has tasted both glitter and grit on the road to success.

The chorus is a bright turning point: “Goodbye, sadness, see you later.” Instead of wallowing, the singer finally decides to pull the plug on pity and choose self-belief. By the last verse, the message is clear — life is not about suffering, it is about living. The song wraps up as an empowering anthem that urges us to wave farewell to gloom, own our stories, and set the future on our own terms.

A Máquina (The Machine)
Saber o que fazer
Com isto a acontecer
Num caso como o meu
Ter o meu amor
To know what to do
With this happening
In a case like mine
To have my love

Imagine your heart as a dazzling, whirring machine: it spins with excitement when love is in full swing, then sputters to a halt when things go wrong. In A Máquina, Portuguese group Amor Electro invite us into that mechanical metaphor, telling the story of someone who is bursting with affection "to give and to sell," yet suddenly faces an emotional breakdown. The singer pleads with the heavens—"to me, to you, and to God"—looking for the courage to keep believing in happiness even when life feels like a hopeless tangle of gears.

By the second half of the song, the once-silent machine flickers back to life. Tears dry, apologies are ripped apart, and instead of running away, the protagonist chooses to embark on a new journey of self-discovery and love. The chorus shifts from "the machine stopped" to "the machine woke up," capturing that exhilarating moment when hope reignites. In short, A Máquina is an energetic anthem about rebooting after heartbreak, trusting in love’s power to restart the engine, and daring to celebrate the sweet relief of realizing it isn’t over after all.

Sei (Know)
Não sei se vou cá estar
Sei que é melhor assim
Mas sei que não vou esperar
O plano chegou ao fim
I don't know if I'll be here
I know it's better this way
But I know I won't wait
The plan has come to an end

Sei invites us into the final moments of a love story that has run out of time. The chorus repeats a clear confession: “I don’t know if I’ll still be here… the plan has come to an end.” With those words, the singer admits that the waiting game is over and that walking away might be the healthiest choice. Yet the mood is far from simple resignation. There is still a “rare feeling” of being the perfect temper for love, and the lyrics swing between certainty and doubt, passion and frustration, much like a stubborn couple trying to keep a flame alive while watching the candle burn out.

Pité’s rap verse deepens the conflict. He stands at a crossroads, torn between a past filled with sweet memories and a present where the partner keeps the door half-open, never fully letting him in. References to Romeo’s despair and hope being the last to die highlight the classic tragedy: both voices know the relationship is fading, yet they struggle to accept it. In the end, Sei becomes an anthem for anyone who has ever loved fiercely, waited too long, and finally realized that self-respect sometimes means saying goodbye.

Rosa Sangue (Blood Rose)
Ninguém te vai parar
Perguntar
Fazer saber porquê
Vais ter de te oferecer
No one will stop you
Ask
Make it known why
You will have to offer yourself

Rosa Sangue — literally Blood Rose — is Amor Electro’s poetic shout-out to the power of love that wounds yet still urges us forward. The singer pins a crimson rose to her chest, a symbol of a romance that has bled and withered, and tells the listener that no one will stop to ask why they are hurting. Life keeps moving, so you must gather courage, offer yourself to the world, and discover what truly keeps you alive.

The song paints a roller-coaster of emotions: the tightening "siege" of doubts, the bite of betrayal, the fall into despair. Yet inside this darkness a lesson blooms. Pain can bend without breaking, turning into amor sincero — sincere love. Everything we inherit from life gains meaning when we choose to live it fully. Listen closely, the lyrics whisper in your ear, and from the thorns of the blood-red rose a new you is born.
