歌曲 | Strange Fruit |
歌手 | Robert Wyatt |
专辑 | At Last I Am Free |
The southern trees bear a strange fruit | |
Blood on the leaves and blood at the roots | |
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 |
