지금 국가의 무능으로 키운 인재로 인해 광주에선 휏불을 드셨다고 하는데요
이런 시기에 가사가 유난히 와 닿아서 올립니다.
생각보다 많은 분들이 이 노래를 밝은 노래로 알고 계시던데
사실 많은 탄압과 무력으로 인해 가족을 잃은 여성들(어머니, 누이 등)을 위로하기 위한 곡입니다
여인(어머니)이여 울지 말아요
트렌치타운 국회 앞뜰에 앉아 있던 때가 기억나네요.
그때 우리는 선한 사람들 속에 섞여 있던 위선자들을 가려내고 있었죠.
긴 투쟁 동안 우리는 좋은 친구들을 얻었고, 또 많은 벗들을 잃었죠.
위대한 미래, 당신은 지난 날들을 잊지 못할 거예요.
이제 눈물을 닦으세요.
여인(자매)이여 울지 말아요.
여인(어머니)이여 울음을 그쳐요,
어여쁜 소녀여, 눈물을 거두어요.
트렌치타운 국회 앞뜰에 앉아 있던 때를 기억해요.
그때 조지는 밤새도록 통나무를 태워 불을 지폈지요.
우리는 옥수수죽을 끓여 함께 나눠먹었구요.
두 발은 나의 유일한 운송수단이에요.
그래서 나는 끝까지 밀고 나가야 해요.
내가 죽더라도
모든 것은 올바르게 될 거 에요.
No, woman, no cry,
No, woman, no cry,
No, woman, no cry,
No, woman, no cry.
Said, said, said, I remember when we used to sit
In the government yard in Trenchtown,
Oba - obaserving the 'ypocrites
As they 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.
'Ere, little darlin', don't shed no tears,
No, woman, no cry.
Said, said, said, I remember when-a we used to sit
In the government yard in Trenchtown.
And then Georgie would make the fire lights,
As it was logwood 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 through.
But while I'm gone, I mean,
Everything's gonna be all right!
Everything's gonna be all right!
Everything's gonna be all right!
Everything's gonna be all right!
I said, everything's gonna be all right-a!
Everything's gonna be all right!
Everything's gonna be all right, now!
Everything's gonna be all right!
So, woman, no cry,
No, no, woman, woman, no cry.
Woman, little sister, don't shed no tears,
No, woman, no cry.

Eh! (Little darlin', don't shed no tears!
No, woman, no cry.
Little sister, don't shed no tears!
No, woman, no cry.)
