Music Monday! No Woman, Nah Cry
Then we would cook corn meal porridge
Of which I'll share with you.......
On the radio today, it is Marley Monday, where they share Bob Marley songs throughout the day. On the way to school, dropping the kids off, we heard this song. My ears picked up the 'corn meal porridge' lyric and instantly I craved it. It was a common breakfast when we lived in the Caribbean, and I haven't had any since we moved from there.
Suddenly I was homesick for my old home, and fond memories of our time there flooded my head. We had tough times then, we struggled plenty in our newly married lives, with a young family and stresses much the same as we are faced with now. We plowed on, we figured it out. We had fun still, we had each other. Everything turned out alright. And it will again.
'Nah Cry, we push h'on trew.' Meaning...'Don't cry we always make it through.' Sometimes we forget, we forget we are strong, and we need to be reminded 'Everything's gonna be alright'.
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 alright
No, woman, no cry
Oh, my little sister, don't shed no tears
No, woman, no cry
Ev'rything's gonna be alright
