No woman no cry
No woman no cry
No woman no cry
No woman no cry
'Cause I remember when we used to sit
In a government yard in Trenchtown
Observing the hypocrites
Mingle with the good people we meet, yeah
Good friends we have now
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
Oh little darling, don't shed no tears
No woman no cry
'Cause I remember when we used to sit
In a government yard in Trenchtown
When Georgie would make the fire lights
I say, log would be burnin' through the nights
Then we would cook cornmeal porridge
Of which I'd share with you
My feet is my only carriage
So I've got to push on through
And while I'm gone
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 now
Everything's gonna be alright
No woman no cry
No woman no cry
No woman no cry
No woman no cry
No woman no cry
Oh little darlin' don't shed no tears
No woman no cry
Oh little darlin' don't shed no tears
No woman no cry
Said I re, said I re, said I remember
No woman no cry
You and I and you and I and you and I
No woman no cry
Said I remember when we used to sit there
No woman no cry
In a government yard
No woman no cry
No woman no cry
No woman no cry, yeah
No woman no cry
No woman no cry (you sweet darling)
No woman no cry
No woman no cry, yeah
No woman no cry
No woman no cry, yeah
No woman no cry
No woman no cry
No woman no cry
No woman no cry
No woman no cry
'Cause I remember when we used to sit
In a government yard in Trenchtown
Observing the hypocrites
Mingle with the good people we meet, yeah
Good friends we have now
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
Oh little darling, don't shed no tears
No woman no cry
'Cause I remember when we used to sit
In a government yard in Trenchtown
When Georgie would make the fire lights
I say, log would be burnin' through the nights
Then we would cook cornmeal porridge
Of which I'd share with you
My feet is my only carriage
So I've got to push on through
And while I'm gone
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 now
Everything's gonna be alright
No woman no cry
No woman no cry
No woman no cry
No woman no cry
No woman no cry
Oh little darlin' don't shed no tears
No woman no cry
Oh little darlin' don't shed no tears
No woman no cry
Said I re, said I re, said I remember
No woman no cry
You and I and you and I and you and I
No woman no cry
Said I remember when we used to sit there
No woman no cry
In a government yard
No woman no cry
No woman no cry
No woman no cry, yeah
No woman no cry
No woman no cry (you sweet darling)
No woman no cry
No woman no cry, yeah
No woman no cry
No woman no cry, yeah
No woman no cry
No woman no cry

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,

Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
