In Jamaican Patois, the word “no” (or nuh) when used in a specific context means “don’t” hence the English translation of “No woman no cry” would be “No woman, don’t cry ”.
Persons unfamiliar with patois may think that the song’s title means that if you don’t have a woman, you won’t cry but that is the total opposite of what the title means. Because of the song’s tittle, the meaning of the song is often misunderstood by persons not familiar with Jamaican Patois. Riddim Producer It's Green & Gold Dub: King Tubby & The Aggrovators: No Woman No Cry: Bob Marley & The Wailers.
