Nine Out of Ten Songtext
von Caetano Veloso & Gilberto Gil

Walk down Portobello road to the sound of reggae
I′m alive
The age of gold, yes, the age of
The age of old, the age of gold
The age of music is past

I hear them talk as I walk, yes, I hear them talk
I hear they say, "Expect the final blast"
Walk down Portobello road to the sound of reggae
I'm alive

I′m alive and vivo, muito vivo, vivo, vivo
Feel the sound of music banging in my belly
Belly, belly, belly

Know that one day I must die
I'm alive
And I know that one day I must die
I'm alive
Yes, I know that one day I must die
I′m alive


I′m alive and vivo, muito vivo, vivo, vivo
In the Eletric Cinema or on the telly, telly, telly, telly

Nine out of ten movie stars make me cry
I'm alive
Nine out of ten movie stars make me cry
I′m alive
Nine out of ten movie stars make me cry
I'm alive

Nine out of ten film stars make me cry
I′m alive
Nine out of ten movie stars make me cry
I'm alive

Walk down Portobello road to the sound of reggae
I′m alive
The age of gold, yes, the age of
The age of old, the age of gold
The age of music is past

I hear them talk as I walk, yes, I hear them talk
I hear they say, "Expect the final blast"
Walk down Portobello road to the sound of reggae
I'm alive


I'm alive and vivo, muito vivo, vivo, vivo
Feel the sound of music banging in my belly
Belly, belly, belly

Know that one day I must die
I′m alive
Know that one day I must die
I′m alive
Yes, I know that one day I must die
I'm alive

I′m alive and vivo, muito vivo, vivo, vivo
In the Eletric Cinema or on the telly, telly, telly, telly

Nine out of ten movie stars make me cry
I'm alive
Nine out of ten film stars make me cry
I′m alive
Nine out of ten film stars make me cry
I'm alive

Nine out of ten movie stars make me cry
I′m alive
Nine out of ten movie stars make me cry
I'm alive
Nine out of ten film stars make me cry
I'm alive

Bora, Macau

Nine out of ten movie stars make me cry
I′m alive, alive, alive
Nine
