Billie Holiday - Strange fruit French translation lyrics

Étrange Fruit

Les arbres du Sud portent un étrange fruit,
        Du sang sur les feuilles et du sang aux racines,
        Un corps noir qui se balance dans la brise du Sud,
        Étrange fruit suspendu aux peupliers.
        Scène pastorale du valeureux Sud,
        Les yeux exorbités et la bouche tordue,
        Parfum de magnolia doux et frais,
        Puis l'odeur soudaine de chair brûlante !
        C'est un fruit que les corbeaux cueillent,
        Que la pluie rassemble, que le vent aspire
        Que le soleil pourrit, que les arbres lâchent
        C'est là une étrange et amère récolte.

Strange fruit

Southern trees bear a strange fruit
Blood on the leaves and blood at the root
Black body 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
And the sudden smell of burning flesh 

Here is fruit for the crows to pluck
For the rain to gather, for the wind to suck
For the sun to rot, for a tree to drop
Here is a strange and bitter crop
