| Xavier Rudd – No Woman No Cry (Bob Marley cover) Lyrics | 13 years ago |

The original line of the song is "No, Woman, Nuh cry." Nuh is Jamacian English for "don't." I think it's about overcoming the adversity of the ghetto... He's leaving and reassures her that everything will be alright. This is a quote from Aston "Family Man" Barrett, bass player of the Wailers: "The song is about the strength in the mama of course, strength in the ladies. And we love a woman with a backbone. Something like a wishbone! They have to be like a she lion! Woman strong, you know, not depending on the man. Of course the man is there to help you, then for every successful man, there is a good woman." |
