It says, "Who are you to judge the life that I lead? I'm not perfect, and not living to be so, but before you begin to point your finger at me
(literal translation, signal me), be sure your hands are clean (be sure to have your hands clean, literal translation.)"

Don't worry about a thing ..................
Every little thing is gonna be alright.
As Marley mused:
"Facts an' facts, an' t'ings an t'ings: dem's all a lotta fockin' bullchit.
Hear me! Dere is no truth but de one truth, an' that is the truth of Jah Rastafari." — Bob Marley
Sounds more like him.
Don't know if he said it in Spanish.
Didn't know he spoke it.

The Latino Marley is Illusive
I've looked for Marley Spanish quotes.
So far, without luck.

This is a legitimate phrase that was translated into Spanish and used by my fellow students at the University in Ensenada.

Or as he put it in his lyrics...
The road of life is rocky and you may stumble too,
So while you point your fingers someone else is judging you
Could you be loved? (chorus)
Just as pertinent in Spanish to me!!

I take good advice wherever I find it. One time an old borachero in Culiacan told me "Don't judge a man until you've walked a mile in his shoes. Then
you can do as you will because he'll be a mile away and you'll have his shoes."

So ?
He wasn't a Spanish-Speaker after all, but it was actually someone else's Interpretation of his words ?
Guess I'll quit looking for otra Marleyisms en espanol.

Except in Somoa where the king lived in a grass hut and collected thrones as his hobby. After he had stowed so many thrones that his hut collapsed the
villagers all chanted "kings that live in grass houses shouldn't stow thrones"
