about

it might be a poignant song about chickens in an obscure hindustani dialect; or it might not.

an approximate colloquial translation of the lyric follows:

lyrics

In the garden of mechanical birds
the apples fall, they fall
In the garden
the creatures hop like clockwork chickens

In the garden of mechanical birds
trees have batwings
ducks fly backwards
they fly badly

In the garden
In the garden of mechanical birds
In the garden
the creatures hop like clockwork chickens

In the garden of mechanical birds
Sandor is feeding poultry
Sandor is feeding poultry
ah don't do that, you fool
