No Women No Cry

Yang menyebabkan sesuatu lagu itu sedap ialah muziknya, tapi yang menyebabkan satu lagu itu indah ialah liriknya. Dan seni yang agung terhasil dari keduanya. Maka lahirlah satu lagu yang agak lagend.

No Women No Cry

 

Tapi ramai yang keliru dengan lagu popular Bob Marley yang bertajuk ‘no, women no cry’. Kalau kita lihat tajuknya bukanla ‘no women, no cry’ tapi ‘no, women no cry’. Lagu ni asalnya bertajuk ‘no, women nuh cry’. Nuh itu perkataan Jamaica bermaksud dont dalam bahasa inggerisnya. So, secara bahasa melayu maksudnya ‘Awak (perempuan), awak (perempuan) jangan nangis ye’ bukannya ‘tiada perempuan tiada nangis’.

Lagu yang penuh emotion ni apabila diklasifi sebagai lagu tanpa emosi adalah sangat tidak adil ye. Lagu ini mengisahkan tentang seorang lelaki yang dah tahu masa dia dah nak sampai. Dia cuba menenangkan kekasihnya kalau dia pergi nanti janganlah bersedih sangat. Sambil itu dia mengimbau kembali masa-masa bersama yang indah. Tetapi yang hidup itu semua akan mati, ketahuila bahawa dia sentiasa sayangkan kekasihnya. Awak, namo sedih-sedih ea~

Lagu ni adalah lagu kegemaran adik Kentang. Dan liriknya:

Said said
Said I remember when we used to sit
In the government yard in Trenchtown
Oba, ob-serving the hypocrites
As they would mingle with the good people we meet
Good friends we have had, oh good friends we've lost along the way
In this bright future you can't forget your past
So dry your tears I say

No woman, no cry
No woman, no cry
Oh my Little sister, don't she'd no tears
No woman, no cry

Said, said, said I remember when we used to sit
In the government yard in Trenchtown
And then Georgie would make the fire light
Log wood burnin' through the night
Then we would cook corn meal 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...

Everything's gonna be alright
Ev'rything's gonna be alright
Ev'rything's gonna be alright
Ev'rything's gonna be alright
Ev'rything's gonna be alright
Ev'rything's gonna be alright
Ev'rything's gonna be alright
Ev'rything's gonna be alright

No woman, no cry
No, no woman, no woman, no cry
Oh, little sister, don't she'd no tears
No woman, no cry

No woman, no woman, no woman, no cry
No woman, no cry
Oh, my little darlyn no she'd no tears
No woman, no cry, yeah
any sister no she'd no tears, no women no cry


No woman no cry, no woman no cry
No woman no cry, no woman no cry

Say, say, said I remember when we used to sit
In a government yard in Trenchtown
Obba, obba, serving the hypocrites
As the 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 say

No woman no cry, no woman no cry
Little darling, don't she'd no tears, no woman no cry
Say, say, said I remember when we used to sit
In the government yard in Trenchtown
And then Georgie would make the fire light
As it was, love would burn on through the night
Then we would cook cornmeal porridge
Of which I'll share with you
My fear is my only courage
So I've got to push on thru
Oh, while I'm gone

Everything 's gonna be alright, everything 's gonna be alright
Everything 's gonna be alright, everything 's gonna be alright
Everything 's gonna be alright, everything 's gonna be alright
Everything 's gonna be alright, everything 's gonna be alright
So woman no cry, no, no woman no cry
Oh, my little sister
Don't she'd no tears
No woman no cry
I remember when we use to sit
In the government yard in Trenchtown
And then Georgie would make the fire lights
As it was, log would burnin' through the nights
Then we would cook cornmeal porridge
Of which I'll share with you
My fear is my only courage
So I've got to push on thru
Oh, while I'm gone
No woman no cry, no, no woman no cry
Oh, my little darlin'
Don't she'd no tears
No woman no cry, No woman no cry

Oh my Little darlin', don't she'd no tears
No woman no cry
Little sister, don't she'd no tears
No woman no cry
