Suspensão do Juízo

Prezados leitores,

Houve um pequeno engano na última postagem. Eu afirmei que o hino da felicidade provavelmente seria Smiley Faces. Que erro grosseiro! Smiley Faces é bom e empolgante, mas o hino da felicidade é, claramente, 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.

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.

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.

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.

A música de Bobby McFerrin é baseada numa famosa frase do místico indiano Meher Baba. Em 1988, foi a número um no Billboard Hot 100 por duas semanas – feito inédito para uma a cappella. Desde então, é a música para aliviar as horas do desespero.

Bom proveito!
