Hi guys! Welcome to Afri- Tunes week 57, for this week I will be doing a song by Tems " No woman no cry". This song was originally made by Bob Marley
This song has a special place in my heart, especially this part... "Everything's gonna be Alright". I always sing this part whenever I'm going through a tough time.
For me music is more than just melody and tunes, I always listen to the lyrics and make them relate to something I'm going through. Whenever I'm sad I just listen to music that relates to what I'm feeling at the moment and I feel better.
When I heard this song for the first time, I thought it meant if there's no woman there would be peace😅, " No woman no cry" lol. I listened to it for some more time before I understood what the Artist was saying...
This song talks about the strength of women, How strong she is even if she doesn't know it. How she carries the weight of her world, not depending on anyone.
And it's also an encouragement for people to never give up because everything is gonna be alright no matter the situation. And to never forget your past, where you came from, and your principles in life no matter where you go or no matter where life takes you.
I hope you like my cover of this song and thanks for stopping by❤
You Rock😉
lyrics
No Woman No Cry
[Intro]
No, woman, no cry
No, woman, no cry
[Verse 1]
I remember when we used to sit
In the government yard in Trenchtown
Oba, observing the hypocrites
Mingle with the good people we meet
Good friends we have and good friends we've lost
Along the way
In this great future, you can't forget your past
So dry your tears I say
[Chorus]
No, woman, no cry
No, woman, no cry
'Ere, little darlin', don't shed no tears
No, woman, no cry
[Verse 2]
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
A log wood burning through the night
Then we would cook cornmeal porridge
Which I'll share with you
My feet are my only carriage
No, I've got to push on through
But while I'm gone
[Bridge]
Everything's gonna be alright
Everything's gonna be alright
Everything's gonna be alright now
Everything's gonna be alright
Everything's gonna be alright
Everything's gonna be alright
Everything's gonna be alright now
Everything's gonna be alright
So woman, no cry, cry, cry
No, woman, no (Woman, no)
So woman, no cry, no cry
No, woman, no cry
