Letra y Significado de NO WOMAN NO CRY, Bob Marley


anonimo opina:

Puesto #1 "No Woman, No Cry" es un famoso reggae de Bob Marley & The Wailers. La canción se convirtiò en exito mundial en 1975, cuando salio en el álbum de estudio "Natty Dread", que fue el primer disco de este musico de Jamaica.

Aunque Bob Marley escribió la canción, este le diò los creditos de letra y musica "V. Ford" (Vicent Ford) que era amigo suyo. Ford tenia un comedor popular en Trechtown, que era el ghetto de Kingston, donde creciò Marley. Con el dinero que recibia por derecho de autor de la canciòn, Ford garantizò la supervivencia y el continuo funcionamiento de su comedor popular donde muchos niños pobres de esa zona podian recibir alimento.

La canciòn relata un nostálgico recuerdo de los niños que crecen en las empobrecidas calles de Trenchtown, la felicidad y las aventuras hechas por la compañía de los amigos.
Varios grupos musicales, como Boney M (cantada por Liz Mitchell), The Fugees, Pearl Jam, Jimmy Buffett y Rancid, has hecho versiones de esta emotiva canciòn reggae.
"No Woman, No Cry" obtuvo el lugar 37 en la edicion de la revista Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.


No, woman, no cry;
no, woman, no cry;
no, woman, no cry;
no, woman, no cry.
said - said - said: i remember when we used to sit
in the government yard in trenchtown,
oba - obaserving the 'ypocrites
as they would mingle with the good people we meet.
good friends we have, oh, good friends we've lost
along the way.
in this great future, you can't forget your past;
so dry your tears, i seh.
no, woman, no cry;
no, woman, no cry.
'ere, little darlin', don't shed no tears:
no, woman, no cry.
said - said - said: i remember when-a we used to sit
in the government yard in trenchtown.
and then georgie would make the fire lights,
as it was logwood burnin' through the nights.
then we would cook cornmeal porridge,
of which i'll share with you;
my feet is my only carriage,
so i've got to push on through.
but while i'm gone, i mean:
everything's gonna be all right!
everything's gonna be all right!
everything's gonna be all right!
everything's gonna be all right!
i said, everything's gonna be all right-a!
everything's gonna be all right!
everything's gonna be all right, now!
everything's gonna be all right!
so, woman, no cry;
no - no, woman - woman, no cry.
woman, little sister, don't shed no tears;
no, woman, no cry.

but while i'm gone:
no, woman, no cry;
no, woman, no cry.
woman, little darlin', say don't shed no tears;
no, woman, no cry.
eh! (little darlin', don't shed no tears!
no, woman, no cry.
little sister, don't shed no tears!
no, woman, no cry.)
