Η Γκαρσόνα from haris alexiou, english translation please

[muge]

the only thing i understood from this song is its first sentence but i guess its something about a waitress, like "i m a waitress, i do this, i make that" etc etc. but i'm still curious about its lyrics. so please, can anyone translate that? thank you!

Η πιο καλή γκαρσόνα είμαι 'γώ
γιατί με τέχνη όλους τους κερνώ
κι αυτοί μου λένε, μάνα μ' τί 'σαι 'συ,
γλυκιά γκαρσόνα φέρε μας κρασί

Στα πεταχτά μοιράζω τις μίσες,
στο πιατο κι ο μεζές,
μαρίδα και τύρι.
Τότε κι αυτοί μου δίνουν πουρμπουάρ,
τους λέω ωρεβουάρ,
και φεύγουνε στουπι.

Πουλώ κρασί, οκάδες με μεζέ,
χωρίς ποτέ να δίνω βερεσέ
κι όταν αρχίσουν τις γλυκιές ματιές
τότε μεθάνε όλοι δυό φορές.

Κι όταν μου πει κανείς πως μ' αγαπά,
πληρώνει τρεις φορές τη μια οκά.
Του βάζω μέσα στο κρασί νερό
και τον ταράζω στο λογαριασμό.

[Amethystos]

thank you amethystos. by the way, does your nick come from the stone amethyst which consists of quartz?

[Neslihan]

i like the comments they made to the video on that link The one best describes my feelings 'ΕΛΕΟΟΟΣ με την Καλομοίρα πια..' oh yeah.


hmm... amethyst stone? i suggest the name comes from the amethystos wines.. Perhaps you are from Drama? :P btw muge, amethystos translates as 'non-intoxicated'.

[Amethystos]

You're both right!

According to wikipedia:"Amethyst is a violet variety of quartz often used as an ornamental stone in jewelry.
The name comes from the Ancient Greek a- ("not") and methustos ("intoxicated"),
a reference to the belief that the stone protected its owner from drunkenness; the ancient Greeks and Romans wore amethyst and made drinking vessels of it in the belief that it would prevent intoxication."

i will become a geology engineer in 2 years (hopefully!) and also amethyst is the stone of my zodiac sign, leo. so therefore your nickname took my attention and i asked you..

[Amethystos]

You're lucky. It's a privilege to live among stones and crystals.
If you love it, try to study gemology and travel to Amsterdam ,Singapore or NY to find a work.

[muge]

yeah, i m considering gemology. actually i was thinking to come to greece to live how is gemology or the minerology & petrography majorities of geology there? what about the job opportunities?
