Cai Neve Em Nova York Lyrics in English Amor Electro

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Cai Neve Em Nova York by Amor Electro from Portuguese to English.
The snow falls, covering the streets
In a corroded ivory cloak
I walk alone in the crowd
To discover the man in me
I left behind a life full of madness
I closed the door I don't want to enter again
I wander the city streets
Whistling, hands in pockets, dreaming
Snow's falling in New York
There's sun in my country
I miss Lisbon
To feel happy
There's no more sunset
On Sunset Boulevard
Snow's falling in New York
Nobody will find me
Nobody will find me
Nobody will find me
Nobody will find me
And so, on 42nd Street
Someone calls me and offers a cigarette
Thanks a lot, friend
No, I won't smoke
In Lisbon I left that path
I left behind a life full of madness
I closed the door I don't want to enter again
I wander the city streets
Whistling, hands in pockets, dreaming
Snow's falling in New York
There's sun in my country
I miss Lisbon
To feel happy
There's no more sunset
On Sunset Boulevard
Snow's falling in New York
Nobody will find me
Snow's falling in New York
There's sun in my country
I miss Lisbon
To feel happy
There's no more sunset
On Sunset Boulevard
Snow's falling in New York
Nobody will find me
Snow's falling in New York
Nobody will find me
Snow's falling in New York
Nobody will find me
Snow's falling in New York
Nobody will find me

SONG MEANING

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.
