Strange Fruit
Lewis Allen
Southern trees bear a strange fruit
Blood on the leaves and blood at the root
Black bodies swinging in the southern breeze
Strange fruit hanging from the poplar trees
Pastoral scene of the gallant South
The bulging eyes and the twisted mouth
Scent of magnolia, sweet and fresh
Then the sudden smell of burning flesh
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
Southern trees bear a strange fruit
Les arbres du sud portent un fruit étrange
Blood on the leaves and blood at the root
Du sang sur les feuilles et du sang dans les racines
Black bodies swinging in the southern breeze
Des corps noirs qui se balançant dans la brise du sud
Strange fruit hanging from the poplar trees
Des fruit étranges pendus aux peupliers
Pastoral scene of the gallant South
Scène pastorale du Sud galant
The bulging eyes and the twisted mouth
Les yeux exorbités et la bouche tordue
Scent of magnolia, sweet and fresh
Le parfum doux et frais du magnolia
Then the sudden smell of burning flesh
Puis l'odeur soudaine de la chair brûlée
Here is a fruit for the crows to pluck
Voici un fruit pour les corbeaux à picorer
For the rain to gather, for the wind to suck
Pour la pluie à rassembler, et pour le vent à aspirer
For the sun to rot, for the tree to drop
Pour le soleil à pourrir, et pour l'arbre à lâcher
Here is a strange and bitter crop
Voici une récolte étrange et amère
Southern trees bear a strange fruit
As árvores do sul dão um fruto estranho
Blood on the leaves and blood at the root
Sangue nas folhas e sangue na raiz
Black bodies swinging in the southern breeze
Corpos negros balançando na brisa do sul
Strange fruit hanging from the poplar trees
Fruto estranho pendurado nas árvores de álamo
Pastoral scene of the gallant South
Cena pastoral do galante Sul
The bulging eyes and the twisted mouth
Os olhos esbugalhados e a boca torcida
Scent of magnolia, sweet and fresh
Cheiro de magnólia, doce e fresco
Then the sudden smell of burning flesh
Então o cheiro súbito de carne queimando
Here is a fruit for the crows to pluck
Aqui está um fruto para os corvos bicarem
For the rain to gather, for the wind to suck
Para a chuva se juntar, para o vento sugar
For the sun to rot, for the tree to drop
Para o sol apodrecer, para a árvore deixar cair
Here is a strange and bitter crop
Aqui está uma colheita estranha e amarga
Southern trees bear a strange fruit
Los árboles del sur dan un fruto extraño
Blood on the leaves and blood at the root
Sangre en las hojas y sangre en la raíz
Black bodies swinging in the southern breeze
Cuerpos negros balanceándose en la brisa sureña
Strange fruit hanging from the poplar trees
Fruto extraño colgando de los álamos

Para que la lluvia lo recoja, para que el viento lo chupe
For the sun to rot, for the tree to drop
Para que el sol lo pudra, para que el árbol lo deje caer

这是一种奇异而苦涩的庄稼
[Strofe 1]
Zuiderse bomen dragen vreemde fruiten
Bloed op de balderen en bloed aan de wortel
Zwarte lichamen bengelen in de zuiderse bries
Vreemde fruiten hangen van de populierbomen
[Strofe 2]
Pastorale scène van het kranige zuiden
De uitpuilende ogen en de wrange mond
Geur van magnolia’s, zoеt en fris
Daarna de plotse gеur van brandend vlees
[Strofe 3]
Hier is een fruit voor de kraaien om aan te pikken
Voor de regen op te verzamelen, voor de wind te laten blazen
Voor de zon te laten rotten, voor de boom op te vallen
Hier is een vreemd en bitter gewas
