Bilingual
Southern trees bear a strange fruit
Blood on the leaves and blood at the root
Black bodies swinging in the southern breeze
Strange fruit hanging from the poplar trees
ย
Pastoral scene of the gallant South
In big bulging eyes and the twisted mouth
Scent of magnolia, sweet and fresh
And a 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 leaves to drop
Here is a strange and bitter crop
