Soon after his birth, on December 7, 1936, his family moved to the lower ground right apartment on the number 23 or Rua da Saudade, in Alfama, a well-known neighbourhood in Lisbon. Ary dos Santos would live here until the end of his days on January 18, 1984.
From Wikipedia:
Ary dos Santos established himself as one of the best known poets of his time by virtue of his song-writing. Having a profound impact in the late 20-th century Portuguese music, Ary dos Santos authored more than 600 hundred lyrics, voiced by the most respected Portuguese singers such as Amalia Rodrigues, Simone de Oliveira, Carlos do Carmo, Paulo de Carvalho and Fernando Tordo.
