[음악] No Woman No Cry

고등학교 2학년때 UB40를 알게 된후
UB40 음반을 한장 두장 사모으기 시작했었다.

당시만 해도 정식 라이센스 음반의 CD 라벨의 프린팅 품질이 많이 떨어져서
수입음반을 찾아 수입 보따리 CD 전문점을 찾아 다니기도 했었다.

UB40 덕분에 Regae 에 빠져보기도 하고 그 이후 반짝 했던 Big Mountain, Snow, Inner Circle ...

Regae 의 아버지 Bob Marley.
그리고 그가 부른 노래 No Woman No Cry.

Jamaica 에 가보고 싶다.

No Woman No Cry

Author : V. Ford

"No Woman No Cry," a deeply personal reminiscence of Bob's impoverished life in Trench Town. The songwriting credit was given to V. Ford, more commonly known among his brethren as Tartar. Had it not been for Tartar's kitchen, Bob would literally have starved on occasion. And there really was a "Georgie" who would keep the fire light as the boys played until the early hours of the morning.

"No Woman No Cry" originally recorded in the studio for the Bob Marley and the Wailers 1974 release, "Natty Dread." The version appearing on Live! was recorded at the Rainbow Theater in London in 1975. The audio clip featured here which appears in the Songs of Freedom box set was recorded at the Roxy in Los Angeles.

Lyrics

No woman, no cry (Repeat 4 times)

'Cause 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
Little darlin' don't shed 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...

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
Ev'rything's gonna be alright

So, no woman, no cry
No, no woman, no woman, no cry
Oh, little darling, don't shed no tears
No woman, no cry

No woman, no woman, no woman, no cry
No woman, no cry
Oh, my little darlin' please don't shed no tears
No woman, no cry, yeah
