Strange Fruit (Live)

Writer(s): Dwayne P. Wiggins, Lewis Allan, Maurice Pearl
詞曲: Dwayne P. Wiggins, Lewis Allan, Maurice Pearl
southern trees bear strange fruit
南方的樹木會結奇怪的果實
blood on the leaves and blood at the root
葉子出血樹根流血
black bodies swinging in the southern breeze
黑色果實在南風中搖擺
strange fruit hanging from the poplar trees
白楊樹上掛著奇異的果實
pastoral scene of the gallant south
南部壯麗的田園風光
the bulging eyes and the twisted mouth
腫脹的眼睛和扭曲的嘴
scent of magnolias, sweet and fresh
木蘭花香，清新甜蜜
then the sudden smell of burning flesh
突然一股燃燒的氣味
here is fruit for the crows to pluck
這是烏鴉摘下的水果
for the rain to gather, for the wind to suck
為收集雨水，為吮吸微風
for the sun to rot, for the trees to drop
為太陽腐爛，為樹木凋零
here is a strange and bitter crop
這是一種奇怪而苦澀的作物
