Billie Holiday - Strange Fruit (1956 Version) - translation of the lyrics into Russian

Lyrics and translation Billie Holiday - Strange Fruit (1956 Version)




Southern trees bear strange fruit
Южные деревья приносят странные плоды.
Blood on the leaves and blood at the root
Кровь на листьях и кровь у корней.
Black bodies swinging in the southern breeze
Черные тела качаются на Южном ветру.
Strange fruit hanging from the poplar trees
Странные плоды свисают с тополей.
Pastoral scene of the gallant south
Пасторальная сцена доблестного юга
The bulging eyes and the twisted mouth
Выпученные глаза и искривленный рот.
Scent of Magnolias, sweet and fresh
Аромат магнолий, сладкий и свежий.
Then the sudden smell of burning flesh
Затем внезапный запах горящей плоти.
Here is fruit for the crows to pluck
Вот плоды, чтобы вороны их сорвали.
For the rain to gather, for the wind to suck
Чтобы собрался дождь, чтобы засосал ветер.
For the sun to rot, for the trees to drop
Чтобы солнце сгнило, чтобы деревья упали.
Here is a strange and bitter cry
Это странный и горький крик.
