this last weeks I've been subtitling and translating "Don't worry be happy" a song by Bobby McFerrin.The song has been subtitled into 4 different languages. I've chosen this song because it is a very positive song and the melody is simple and great. I think it is a very simple and beautiful song with a very helpfull message.And before showing you the video I will speak you about Bobby.
Robert Keith "Bobby" McFerrin, Jr.was born in Manhattan, New York City, the son of operatic baritone Robert McFerrin and singer Sara Copper. Nowadays he is an American vocalist and conductor.In 1988, he recorded the hit song "Don't Worry, Be Happy", which brought him widespread recognition across the world. For example, the song was a No. 1 U.S. pop hit in 1988 and won Song of the Year and Record of the Year honors. However, the song changed his musical life radically, and he started to purpose other musical possibilities. The song was inspired by a poster from the Indian mystic and sage Meher Baba that said "don't worry be happy".
This song has been used by many publicity campaigns, Bush used this song for his presidential campaign. And it has been recently used by vodafone. And it was also used in the soundtrack of the movie "cocktail".
After " Don't worry be happy" McFerrin collaborated in the soundtracks of many films (Knick Knack, Son of the pink panther...).
Returning to the translation, the transaltion has been made by using a web called "dotsub" which allows you to do translations in videos very easily.
