Yardbird Suite - Charlie Parker

Southern trees bear strange fruit

南方的树结出陌生的果实

Blood on the leaves and blood at the root

鲜血沾满根叶

Black bodies swinging in the southern breeze

黑色的树干在南风中摇摆

Strange fruit hanging from the popular trees

白杨树上挂着奇异的果实

Pastoral scene of the gallant south

广阔的南方 醉人田园风光

The bulging eyes and the twisted mouth

双眼睁凸 嘴唇扭曲

Scent of magnolias sweet and fresh

木兰花香 清新和甜美

Then the sudden smell of burning flesh

烧着的鲜肉突然散发气味

Here is fruit for the crows to pluck

这是乌鸦啄食的果实

For the rain to gather for the wind to suck

由于吸收了风雨

For the sun to rot for the trees to drop

因太阳照射而腐烂 从树上掉下

Here is a strange and bitter cry

这果成了奇异而苦涩的作物
