Everything's Alright
Tranquil Night's Wisdom
Lyrics
Try not to get worried
Encouragement to avoid becoming anxious
Try not to turn on to problems that upset you
Advice not to focus on troubling issues
Oh, don't you know everything's alright?
Assurance that everything is fine
Yes, everything's fine
Confirmation that all is well
And we want you to sleep well tonight
Wishing for peaceful sleep
Let the world turn without you tonight
Suggesting detachment from worldly concerns
If we try, we'll get by
Belief that efforts will lead to success
So forget all about us tonight
Encouragement to disregard worries for the night
(everything's alright, yes)
Reiteration that everything is alright
(everything's alright, yes)
-Sleep and I shall soothe you
Comforting and promising relief from distress
Calm you and anoint you
-Myrrh for your hot forehead
-And you'll feel everything's alright
-Yes, everything's fine
Description of a soothing treatment for physical distress
And it's cool and the ointment's sweet
-For the fire in your head and feet
-Close your eyes
Guidance to relax and clear the mind
Close your eyes and relax
-Think of nothing tonight
-(everything's alright, yes)
-(everything's alright, yes)
-Ay woman, you find ointment
Criticism regarding the misuse of resources
Brand new and expensive
-Should have been saved for the poor
-Why has it been wasted?
-We could have raised maybe
-Three hundred silver pieces or more
-People who are hungry
Emphasis on the importance of helping the needy
People who are starving
-They matter more than your feet and head
-Try not to get worried
Reiteration of the message to avoid worry and sleep peacefully
Try not to turn onto problems that upset you
-Oh, don't you know everything's alright?
-Yes, everything's fine
-And we want you to sleep well tonight
-Let the world turn without you tonight
-If we try we'll get by
-So forget all about us tonight
-(everything's alright, yes)
Reassurance that everything will be fine
(everything's alright, yes)
-Surely you're not saying
Debate on prioritizing resources for the less fortunate
We have the resources
-to save the poor from their luck
-There will be poor always
-Pathetically struggling
-Look at the good things we've got
-Think while you still have me
Warning about regret after losing assistance
Move while you still see me
-You'll be lost
-You'll be so, so sorry when I'm gone
-Sleep and I shall soothe you
Description of a soothing treatment for distress
Calm you and anoint you
