Bob Marley - No Woman, No Cry ('Don't Cry')
■■■■■
● FeaturedThe title and main refrain of Bob Marley's classic 'No Woman, No Cry' is a common source of confusion regarding its intended meaning and punctuation.

What People Remember
Many interpret the title as 'No, Woman, Don't Cry,' believing it to be a direct instruction or comfort.
◉
What's Actually True
The actual Patois phrasing 'No Woman, Nuh Cry' (often translated to 'No Woman, No Cry') means 'Woman, don't cry,' implying that without a woman, there is no reason to cry. The comma after 'No' changes the meaning entirely from the common false memory.
