Strange Fruit – Billie Holiday Lyrics

Artist: Strange Fruit
Song: Billie Holiday

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

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

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

Billie Holiday Lyrics – English Translation

Southern trees wear fruity fruits
Blood on the Balderen and Blood at the root
Black bodies dangling in the southern breeze
Strange fruits hang from the poplar trees

Pastoral scene of the Hasty South
The bulging eyes and the bitter mouth
Smell of magnolias, soеt and fresh
Then the sudden gеur of burning meat

Here is a fruit for the crows to pick up
To collect for the rain for the wind to blow
To rot for the sun, to stand out in front of the tree
Here is a strange and bitter crop
