Strange fruit
de Billie Holiday, Lewis Allan Commodore Records, 1939, 3.2 min En ligne : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Web007rzSOI Southern trees bear strange fruit/Blood on the leaves and blood on the root/Black bodies swinging in the southern breeze/Strange fruit hanging from 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 ripe, to the tree to drop/Here is a strange and bitter crop ! |

Southern trees bear strange fruit/Blood on the leaves and blood on the root/Black bodies swinging in the southern breeze/Strange fruit hanging from 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 ripe, to the tree to drop/Here is a strange and bitter crop ! |
