Well, here's the recording:

I copy-pasted from the album notes, and I had trouble at first because the lyrics were upside-down. I think I have it all here now.

Three Little Birds
Elizabeth Mitchell, voice; Suni Paz, vocal;
Daniel Littleton, piano, guitar and vocal; Byron Isaacs,
bass; Clem Waldmann, drums; Mark Greenberg,
celeste; Storey Littleton, vocal

This song is so universally loved it needs little in the
way of introduction. Bob Marley, a Jamaican national
treasure, innovator, and popularizer of reggae,
gave us this song about three little birds and the
comforting message they sang to him one morning.
Since he composed songs about the struggle for
political and spiritual liberation, with lyrics that stood
strongly and explicitly against the oppression of
racism, poverty, hunger, and the abuse of power, this
nursery-rhyme-like, encouraging song is particularly
meaningful to all his fans around the world.
    Woke up this morning, smiled with the rising sun.
    Three little birds by my doorstep
    Singing a sweet song,
    A melody pure and true,
    Singing: “This is my message to you.”
    “Don’t worry, about a thing
    Cause every little thing is gonna be alright.” (2x)


Tres pajaritos
Elizabeth Mitchell, voz; Suni Paz, voz; Daniel Littleton,
piano, guitarra y voz; Byron Isaacs, bajo;
Clem Waldmann, percusión; Mark Greenberg, celesta;
    Me desperté y le sonreí al sol.
    Tres pajaritos vi a mi puerta,
    Cantando alegres una melodía que dice:
    “Este es mi mensaje para ti.”
    “No te preocupes, por nada
    Porque tus problemas, seguro que se van.” (2x)
