Billie Holiday Strange fruit. (subtitulado español)

Southern trees bear 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,
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 tree to drop,
Here is a strange and bitter crop.

March of The Jobless Corps - Daniel Kahn and The Painted Bird

Daniel Kahn and The Painted Bird es un grupo instalado en Detroit, su repertorio es de música que denominan "punk cabaret, raddical Yiddish song Gothic American folk and Klezmer Danse Macabre".
En el video insertado tocan el tema "March of The Jobless Corps", un poema original en Yiddish creado por Mordecai Gebirtig (1877-1942), poeta judío que nacio y murio en Krakovia por una bala Nazi en el Ghetto durante el Martes Sangriento.
Espero que les guste tanto como a mí.

Letra en Inglés:

one, two, three, four
join the marching jobless corps
no work in the factory
no more manufacturing
every tool is broke and rusted
every wheel and window busted
through the city streets we go
idle as a CEO
idle as a CEO

one, two, three, four
join the marching jobless corps
we don’t have to pay no rent
sleeping in a camping tent
dumpster diving don’t take money
every bite is shared with twenty
let the yuppies have their wine
bread and water suit us fine
bread and water suit us fine
