No Woman No Cry (Live Montreux Jazz Festival 1987] Songtext
von Nina Simone

In honor
In honor Bob Marley
I want you sing it with me
It′s my last song

No woman no cry
No woman no cry
You know the song, sing it with me
No woman no cry

No woman no cry
No woman no cry
Are you singing?

I remember when we used to sit
In the government house in Trenchtown
Observing the hypocrites
At that mingle with the people we meet


Good friends we lost
Oh, good friends we have lost
Along the way
In this great future, you can't forget your past
So dry your tears, I say
And all I′m saying

No woman no cry
No woman no cry
No woman no cry
No woman no cry

I remember when we used to sit
In the government house in Trenchtown
And then Georgie would make the fire lights
A wood burnin' in the night

Then we would make cornmeal porridge
Of which I'd share with you
My feet are my only carriage
So I′m gonna push on through
And while I′m gone now

(No woman no cry) everything's gonna be alright
(No woman no cry) everything′s gonna be alright
(No woman no cry) everything's gonna be alright
(No woman no cry) again one more time


No woman no cry
No woman no cry
No woman no cry
No woman no cry

Bon soir
