this song's NOT about the loss of someone, 'no woman no cry' is patwa, it translates to 'don't cry', and he's directing it to a woman. simple! 'chuxen' is right it is about roots, and in true Bob Marley fashion, is very political. also some of these lyrics are wrong.
'SAID, I remember when we used to sit' - for the first line
'as they'd mingle with the good people we'd MEET' - for the fourth
'In this bright future, you CAN'T forget your past' - for the seventh
but that's just me being pedantic
'as it was, LOGWOOD burning through the night
then we would cook CORNMEAL porridge' - old Jamaican specialty
