《女人，不要哭泣》，《救赎之歌》by Bob Marley kingfung2008-05-08 21:58:46

说到雷鬼乐，这里不得不提雷鬼乐之父：鲍布•玛利（Bob Marley）。人们因为知道了雷鬼而知道了牙买加，第一个把自己祖国的民族音乐传播到世界任何一个角落的牙买加艺术家利顺理成章的成了牙买加的民族英雄。

鲍布•玛利1945年出生于牙买加的贫民窟，1961年就开始了演艺生涯，他的音乐和热情很快赢得了牙买加音乐界的支持。1975年，鲍布•玛利的世界巡演更让他的音乐遍及全球，数百万的人都在为他的成功而欢呼。1981年5月11日，鲍布•玛利死于癌症，年仅36岁。

他把牙买加Reggae乐带到欧美流行音乐/摇滚音乐的领域，他那充满激情、力量、斗志的灵魂之声登时震惊了整个欧美乐坛，并以获誉为“首位第三世界的流行巨星”实践了音乐无国界的理念；同时他也是一位真正人民英雄，拥有一颗伟大的心灵，一直以音乐来支持牙买加承受苦难、压迫的人民。1981年5月11日， Bob Marley病逝，全牙买加的人民举国哀悼这位他们心目中最伟大的民族英雄，因为，他让牙买加的人民赢得了自信、尊重与和平。

No Woman, No Cry


Some interesting facts about the song: Though Bob Marley likely wrote the song himself, songwriter credits were given to "V. Ford". Vincent Ford was a friend of Marley's who ran a soup kitchen in Trenchtown, the ghetto of Kingston, Jamaica where Marley grew up. The royalty cheques received by Ford ensured the survival and continual running of his soup kitchen.(Wikipedia)

在我看来，这是一首感人至深的励志歌曲。回忆往昔岁月，虽贫瘠，虽有的友人已不在，美好的记忆却栩栩如生。生活依然值得珍视，擦去眼泪，笑对明天。

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.

Woman, little darlin', say 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.)

Redemption Song


写这首歌时Bob Marley已经身患癌症。他的绝大多数歌曲都是Reggae风格，但这首《救赎之歌》是一首民谣（folk song）。一副歌喉，一把箱琴，为他的人民喊出了民族自由之歌。

Old pirates, yes, they rob I;
Sold I to the merchant ships,
Minutes after they took I
From the bottomless pit.
But my hand was made strong
By the 'and of the Almighty.
We forward in this generation
Triumphantly.

Won't you help to sing
These songs of freedom? -
'Cause all I ever have:
Redemption songs;
Redemption songs.

Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery;
None but ourselves can free our minds.
Have no fear for atomic energy,
'Cause none of them can stop the time.
How long shall they kill our prophets,
While we stand aside and look? Ooh!
Some say it's just a part of it:
We've got to fulfil de book.

Won't you help to sing
These songs of freedom? -
'Cause all I ever have:
Redemption songs;
Redemption songs;
Redemption songs.

Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery;
None but ourselves can free our mind.
Wo! Have no fear for atomic energy,
'Cause none of them-a can-a stop-a the time.
How long shall they kill our prophets,
While we stand aside and look?
Yes, some say it's just a part of it:
We've got to fulfil de book.
Won't you help to sing
Dese songs of freedom? -
'Cause all I ever had:
Redemption songs -
All I ever had:
Redemption songs:
These songs of freedom,
Songs of freedom.
