心配すんなって、幸せになれよ☆

Robert "Bobby" McFerrin, Jr. (born March 11, 1950) is a jazz and a cappella vocal performer, vocal improviser and conductor. He is best known for his 1988 hit song "Don't Worry, Be Happy". He is a ten-time Grammy Award winner.


Lyrics.“ Don’t worry, Be happy ”

Here's a little song I wrote
You might want to sing it note for note
Don't worry, be happy.
In every life we have some trouble
But when you worry you make it double
Don't worry, be happy.
Don't worry, be happy now.

CHORUS:
Don't worry, be happy. Don't worry, be happy.
Don't worry, be happy. Don't worry, be happy.

Ain't got no place to lay your head
Somebody came and took your bed
Don't worry, be happy.
The landlord say your rent is late
He may have to litigate
Don't worry, be happy.

CHORUS:
(Look at me -- I'm happy. Don't worry, be happy.
Here I give you my phone number. When you worry, call me,
I make you happy. Don't worry, be happy.)

Ain't got no cash, ain't got no style
Ain't got no gal to make you smile
Don't worry, be happy.
'Cause when you worry your face will frown
And that will bring everybody down
Don't worry, be happy.

CHORUS:
(Don't worry, don't worry, don't do it.
Be happy. Put a smile on your face.
Don't bring everybody down.
Don't worry. It will soon pass, whatever it is.
Don't worry, be happy.
I'm not worried, I'm happy...)


1988年のこの曲には不思議な力があって、聴いた人は大概元気になる。
テーマは「苦しいことは一時、すぐに消えてなくなるさ、苦しいときには電話くれ、すぐに飛んでいくから、だから、心配すんなって、幸せになれよ☆」ということ。

こんな単純なテーマでいいのかよ、ってぐらい単純明快。
でも、そのパワーは計り知れない。
声の魔術師と言われるボビー・マックファーリンですが、彼の曲も時々無性に聴きたくなるのですよ。

Don’t worry, Be happy


Pink Panther:人間の声とは思えない響き!


Ave Maria:これは静かに心打たれます。音楽に近づきたいと本当に思う。
