Lyrics:

[English]

Don't worry about a thing

'Cause every little thing gonna be alright

Singin', "Don't worry about a thing

'Cause every little thing gonna be alright"

Rise up this mornin', smile with the risin' sun

Three little birds pitched by my doorstep

Singin' sweet songs of melodies pure and true

Sayin', "This is my message to you"

Singin', "Don't worry about a thing

'Cause every little thing is gonna be alright"

Singin', "Don't worry, don't worry 'bout a thing

'Cause every little thing's gonna be alright"

Rise up this mornin', smile with the risin' sun

Three little birds pitched by my doorstep

Singin' sweet songs of melodies pure and true

Sayin', "This is my message to you"

Singin', "Don't worry about a thing" (worry 'bout a thing, no)

"Every little thing gonna be alright" (don't worry)

Singin', "Don't worry about a thing (I won't worry)

'Cause every little thing gonna be alright"

Hmm, don't worry about a thing

'Cause a every little thing, gonna be alright (I won't worry)

Baby, don't worry about a thing

'Cause every little thing is gonna be alright

Singing, "Don't worry about a thing" (worry about a thing, no, girl)

"'Cause every little thing gonna be alright"
