Don't worry about a thing
Don't worry about a thing
'Cause every little thing gonna be all right
Cause every little thing gonna be all right
So, don't worry about a thing
So, don't worry about a thing
Every little thing gonna be all right
Every little thing gonna be all right
Rise up this mornin'
Rise up this mornin'
Smiled with the risin' sun
Smiled with the risin' sun
Three little birds
Three little birds
Pitch by my doorstep
Pitch by my doorstep
Singin' sweet songs
Singin' sweet songs
Of melodies pure and true
Of melodies pure and true
Sayin' "This is my message to you"
Sayin' "This is my message to you"
So don't worry about a thing
So don't worry about a thing
'Cause every little thing gonna be all right
'Cause every little thing gonna be all right
So don't worry about a thing
So don't worry about a thing
'Cause every little thing gonna be all right
'Cause every little thing gonna be all right
Rise up this mornin'
Rise up this mornin'
Smiled with the risin' sun
Smiled with the risin' sun
Three little birds
Three little birds
Pitch by my doorstep
Pitch by my doorstep
Singin' sweet songs
Singin' sweet songs
Of melodies pure and true
De melodias puras e verdadeiras
Sayin' "This is my message to you"
Dizendo 'Esta é a minha mensagem para você'
