No woman no cry

買了隨車喇叭,也買了第一台iPod(不是Mac就一定非用iPod不可),把一些自己喜歡的歌放進去,打算在每次微笑單車活動中發聲,自己爽也好!
從這篇開始,陸續回顧這些打動我心的聲音,大都是有歌詞的,所以歌詞盡量找到,如果有音樂連結也好...

如果西洋音樂界有一位歌手地位可以比擬切哥拉瓦,那應就是Bob Marley愛咪囈語隨便記提到No women no cry的意思應是「女人不要哭」,而這首歌常被解讀為「沒有女人,就沒有眼淚」、「如果沒有女人,就不會流淚」或「你沒有女人,也別哭」...,但我以前總以為是「沒有女人是不哭的」,我還是覺得比「女人不要哭」更...

YouTube慢歌版:


大概歌詞:
No woman no cry, no woman no cry
No woman no cry, no woman no cry

Seh, seh, said I remember when we used to sit
In a government yard in Trenchtown
Obba, obba, observing 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 seh

No woman no cry, no woman no cry
Little darling, don't shed no tears, no woman no cry
Seh, seh, said 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 feet is my only carriage
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

No woman no cry, no, no woman no cry
Oh, my little sister
Don't shed no tears
No woman no cry
