Strange Fruit / Billie Holiday

Southern trees bear a strange fruit
Blood on the leaves and blood at the root
Black bodies swingin' in the Southern breeze
Strange fruit hangin' from the poplar trees

南方的樹木 結著奇異的果實
血染在張錯的樹葉上 血淌在蟠結的樹根中
黑色的身體 受著南方微風的吹拂 姿態搖曳
奇異的果實 吊掛在白楊樹上

Pastoral scene of the gallant South
The bulgin' eyes and the twisted mouth
Scent of magnolias sweet and fresh
Then the sudden smell of burnin' flesh

壯麗的南方 無際的田園風景
凸出的眼球 和扭曲的嘴巴
木蘭花的香味 甜美而清新
其間飄來 陣陣的燒灼肉味

Here is a fruit for the crows to pluck
For the rain to gather
For the wind to suck
For the sun to rot
For the tree to drop
Here is a strange and bitter crop

這是一個 為了讓烏鴉啃啄的果實
為了讓淒雨集結
為了讓厲風吹刮
為了讓烈陽腐蝕
為了讓高樹墜落
這是一個 奇異而苦澀的收成物
