Гарсон №2 [Garson №2] [English translation]

Garson Number 2, Garson Number 2

The branches on our brush have withered

And just maybe the people's rumors were right

And maybe everything was just a dream Garson number 2

Here is the table where I drink; here is whiskey with ice

However now the drink is dust, and its table is in a museum 1

But behind the glass

Are the mummies of all my closest friends

I got up for five minutes to buy cigarettes

I went for a walk in the Latin Quarter 2

Then turned from Camden Lock to Nevsky from Tverskaya 3

I headed out spiritually and returned other-wordly

But it is not gone yet, but it isn’t lost either.

Garson Number 2, Garson Number 2

The branches on our brush is withered

And just maybe the human rumors are right

And maybe everything was just a dream Garson number 2

And the ringing of the bells begin to flow, like oil

Oh, my soul, wake up, and pray

So are you in a hurry?

And here in the silence are icons of the Beatles and frankincense 4

I no longer care if you were brighter.

So Garson Number 2, Garson Number 2,

In the quiet cemetery

On our coffins will be flowers and plans

And it seems the people's rumors were right

But if it all was just a dream....

But if it all was a dream then what was your purpose Garson number 2?

1. This is a funny line to translate into English. I say this because you really need the context and direction for it to make sense in English, just saying “The drink is dust and the table is in a museum” lacks a lot of the details that would be important to get across to the audience about what happened and doesn’t direct the flow of the song properly.2. 5th arrondissement in Paris I believe is what he is talking about. Given Garcon is French I’m assuming we’re in France3. Camden Lock is in London, Nevsky is a lot of things in St. Petersberg (a bridge, a monastery, a church, and a district just to name a few), while Tverskaya is a famous street in Moscow4. Frankincense is used in aromatherapy
