Strange Fruit (20/4/1938) (New York 20/4/1938)

The Essential Billie Holiday

Quintino & Blasterjaxx

歌词

Southern trees bear a strange fruit

南方的树上结着奇异的果实

Blood on the leaves and blood at the root

血红的叶血红的根

Black bodies swinging in the southern breeze

黑色的尸体随风摆荡

Strange fruit hanging from the popular trees

奇异的果实悬挂在白杨树上

Pastoral scene of the gallant south

华丽的南国田园风景

The bulging eyes and the twisted mouth

突出的眼扭曲的嘴

Scent of magnolias sweet and fresh

木兰花清甜的香味

Then the sudden smell of burning flesh

转眼成了焦灼尸肉的气味

Here is fruit for the crows to pluck

这里有颗果实让乌鸦采撷

For the rain to gather for the wind to suck

供雨水摘取任风吸吮

For the sun to rot for the trees to drop

因日照腐朽自树上坠落

Here is a strange and bitter crop

这是奇异而苦涩的作物
