Billie Holiday - Strange fruit
Tekst :
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.
Pastoral scene of the gallant south,
The bulging eyes and the twisted mouth,
Scent of magnolias, sweet and fresh,
Then 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 the trees to drop,
Here is a strange and bitter crop.

Jak dla góry śnieg
jak dla morza brzeg
dla choroby lek
bylaś przeznaczeniem
w sercu miałaś kont
i pomocną dłoń
opuściłaś schron jak aktorka scene
ref:
Do widzenia moja Julio do widzenia
Czas ucieka i jak rzeka brzegi zmienia
Sometimes I wonder
If I d ever make it through
Through this world
without having in you
I just wouldn t have a clue
Cause sometimes it seems
Like this world s closing in on me
And there s no way of breaking free
And then I see you reach for me
Sometimes I wanna give up
Wanna give in

I live in a whistle stop town
Where everyone thinks I m a clown
because I like to hear the train whistle blow
Just because the trains never stop
They say that I m gonna blow my top
But I like to hear the train...
In the middle of the night
I go walking in my sleep
From the mountains of faith
To a river so deep
I must be looking for something
Something sacred I lost
But the river is wide
And it s to hard to cross
And even though I know...
Hall mitt hjärta, håll min själ
Lägg mitt huvud, i ditt knä
Säg att du menar, o vill mig väl
Håll mitt hjärta, håll min själ
Som jag väntat, alla år
Du kan läka, mina sår
Ta mina händer, och gör mig hel
Ta mitt hjärta, ta min själ
Håll mitt hjärta, håll min själ
Låt mig vara, stanna...
