第一次聽到這首No woman，No cry 是在Joan Baez 的鬥牛場演唱會現場錄音的CD 裡。她民謠的唱腔裡，帶著特有的憂鬱。唱來很平順，直到No Woman, No cry 重複出現後。才發現這首曲子的特殊意義之處。
原作則是帶有雷鬼節奏的旋律，說著落魄時候的際遇，也是很不同的感覺。
還是讓我們享受音樂和歌詞吧。
No woman, no cry (Repeat 4 times)
'Cause I remember when we used to sit
我還記得那時我們坐的地方
In the government yard in Trenchtown
在全巨市(音譯) 政府廣場前面
Oba, ob-serving the hypocrites
As they would mingle 交往with the good people we meet
Good friends we have had, oh good friends we've lost along the way
看著偽善者與我們遇到的好人握手言歡，那些曾經是好朋友的人，
噢！那些我們失去的好朋友
In this bright future you can't forget your past
So dry your tears I say
在這光明的未來前忘卻過去吧
所以擦乾你的眼淚吧，我說
No woman, no cry
女人，別哭
No woman, no cry
女人，別哭
Little darlin' don't shed no tears
親愛的別滴下眼淚
No woman, no cry
女人別哭
Said, said, said I remember when we used to sit
我還記得我們那時我們坐的地方
In the government yard in Trenchtown
在全巨市(音譯) 政府廣場前面
And then Georgie would make the fire light
喬治為我們生起火來
Log wood burnin' through the night
木材的火焰燃燒著夜
Then we would cook corn meal porridge
我們煮著玉米粉粥
Of which I'll share with you
一起分享
My feet is my only carriage
我的腳是我唯一的馬車
So I've got to push on through
所以我會用力的催促著
But while I'm gone...
但是當我走後
Ev'rything's gonna be alright
一切都會沒事的
Ev'rything's gonna be alright
一切都會沒事的
Ev'rything's gonna be alright
Ev'rything's gonna be alright
Ev'rything's gonna be alright
Ev'rything's gonna be alright
Ev'rything's gonna be alright
Ev'rything's gonna be alright
So, no woman, no cry
所以，女人，別哭
No, no woman, no woman, no cry
不，女人，別哭，女人，別哭
Oh, little darling, don't shed no tears
噢，親愛的別滴下眼淚
No woman, no cry
No woman, no woman, no woman, no cry
No woman, no cry
Oh, my little darlin' please don't shed no tears
No woman, no cry, yeah
