About me: 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 a 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.
Written by Lewis Allen and first performed by Billie Holiday
TCK in a Box
Who I'd like to meet: children are like flowers. people who live in the hearts of others by helping these flowers bloom, spread and make the ones who dry up, bloom anew.
Tarkan cunku onunle beraber ben bu istiyorum:
Seninle bir dakika
Umutlandýrýyor beni
Bir dakika siliyor caným
Yýllarin özlemini
Hasret tükenmez gibi
Kavuþmak bir dakika
Sevmek bir ömür sürer
Seviþmek bir dakika
Seninle buluþmamýz
Bir dakikada geçti
Gözlerin gözlerimi canim
Bir dakikada içti
Hasret tükenmez gibi
Kavuþmak bir dakika
Sevmek bir ömür sürer
Seviþmek bir dakika
