Árvores do Sul

Trees from the South

Dão fruta estranha

Bear strange fruit

Folha ou raiz

Leaf or root

Em sangue se banha

Bathes in blood

Corpo de negro

Black body

Balançando, lento

Swinging, slow

Fruta pendendo

Fruit hanging

De um galho ao vento

From a branch in the wind


Cena pastoril

Pastoral scene

Do Sul celebrado

Celebrated in the South

A boca torta

Twisted mouth

E o olho inchado

And swollen eye

Cheiro de magnólia

Scent of magnolia

Chega e passa

Arrives and passes

De repente o odor

Suddenly the smell

De carne em brasa

Of burning flesh


Eis uma fruta

Here is a fruit

Pra que o vento sugue

For the wind to suck

Pra que um corvo puxe

For a crow to pull

Pra que a chuva enrugue

For the rain to wrinkle

Pra que o Sol resseque

For the Sun to dry

Pra que o chão degluta

For the ground to swallow

Eis uma estranha

Here is a strange

E amarga fruta

And bitter fruit
