Strange Fruit - Cassandra Wilson

Strange Fruit - Cassandra Wilson (卡森德拉·威尔逊)

Southern trees bear 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 poplar 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
木兰花香，清新和甜美
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 cry
这是奇异而苦涩的作物
