He's using a type of "pidgin" slang to say "No, please, woman, don't cry." Correct, 'nuh' is don't but why is he asking her not to cry?
He had been diagnosed with cancer, Rita broke down crying and he told her not to cry, look at where we have come from, the good times we have had, and the good friends we lost, everything will be alright.
it is about how hard life was for people in the trenchtown ghettos of Jamaica.
Bob Marley is singing to a woman (hopefully his wife Rita Marley) and telling her not to cry and that things are getting better
The original line of the song is "No, Woman, Nuh cry." Nuh is Jamacian for "don't," so what is meant by the lyric is No, Woman, Don't cry... He's leaving and reassuring her that the slum they live in won't get her down, that everything will be alright and "don't shed no tear."
No it isn't my mom is a massive fan of Bob Marley and he means that when he is in a relationship he doesn't want her to cry when he has to do his songs and hits nd stuff and that's the honest truth we have is album and he has a booklet biography and it tells everyone what his songs mean. so there.

No woman, no cry (Repeat 4 times)
Said said
Said I remember when we used to sit
In the government yard in Trenchtown
Oba, ob-serving the hypocrites
As they would mingle with the good people we meet
Good friends we have had, oh good friends we've lost along the way
In this bright future you can't forget your past
So dry your tears I say
No woman, no cry
No woman, no cry
Oh my Little sister, don't she'd no tears
No woman, no cry
Said, said, said I remember when we used to sit
In the government yard in Trenchtown
And then Georgie would make the fire light
Log wood burnin' through the night
Then we would cook corn meal 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...
Everything'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
Ev'rything's gonna be alright
Ev'rything's gonna be alright
No woman, no cry
No, no woman, no woman, no cry
Oh, little sister, don't she'd no tears
No woman, no cry
No woman, no woman, no woman, no cry
No woman, no cry
Oh, my little darlyn no she'd no tears
No woman, no cry, yeah
any sister no she'd no tears, no women no cry
No woman no cry, no woman no cry
No woman no cry, no woman no cry
Say, say, said I remember when we used to sit
In a government yard in Trenchtown
Obba, obba, serving the hypocrites
As the 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 say
No woman no cry, no woman no cry
Little darling, don't she'd no tears, no woman no cry
Say, say, said I remember when we used to sit
In the government yard in Trenchtown
And then Georgie would make the fire light
As it was, love would burn on through the night
Then we would cook cornmeal porridge
Of which I'll share with you
My fear is my only courage
So I've got to push on thru
Oh, while I'm gone
Everything 's gonna be alright, everything 's gonna be alright
Everything 's gonna be alright, everything 's gonna be alright
Everything 's gonna be alright, everything 's gonna be alright
Everything 's gonna be alright, everything 's gonna be alright
So woman no cry, no, no woman no cry
Oh, my little sister
Don't she'd no tears
No woman no cry
I remember when we use to sit
In the government yard in Trenchtown
And then Georgie would make the fire lights
As it was, log would burnin' through the nights
Then we would cook cornmeal porridge
Of which I'll share with you
My fear is my only courage
So I've got to push on thru
Oh, while I'm gone
No woman no cry, no, no woman no cry
Oh, my little darlin'
Don't she'd no tears
No woman no cry, No woman no cry
Oh my Little darlin', don't she'd no tears
No woman no cry
Little sister, don't she'd no tears
No woman no cry
It's actually nuh cry,which is creole for don't cry and he was telling his girl to be happy because even though they were poor and had nothing to eat god always provide.If you know the song well it made mention to tenament yard(projects) and the fact that they made cornmeal porridge and share with everyone showed that they found something to eat.
Bob Marley of course. The song, nevertheless is credited to "John Ford." John Ford was a friend of Bob's childood. He became seriously ill at the time that Bob has composed the song, and his friend Bob -in an act of matchless friendship- registered the song on his friend name, so he couldn't miss his daily needs as a consequence of his disability. This fact could be known in Marley's most famous biographies and-also-in an late interview with his wife Rita.

The repeated lyrics "Everything's going to be all right" appeared in the 1974 reggae song "No Woman No Cry" by Vincent Ford (later legally credited to Bob Marley), as performed by Bob Marley & the Wailers.Bob Marley (1945-1981) was a famous Jamaican songwriter and performer.* The song is credited to V. Ford, however there is no evidence that Vincent Ford penned the song. The credit was given by Marley out of respect, to provide income to Ford, and to avoid Marley's contractual obligations with Cayman music.
