Bonsai Lyrics in English Supercombo

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Bonsai by Supercombo from Portuguese to English.
Verse 1
I'll make tea
With some ornamental plants
Verse 1
Sit on this porch
In my mind with my bonsais
Verse 1
Ask the little birds
How pigeons fly
And what time they'll sing
Verse 1
This skull is my refuge
Nobody stops me from meditating
One day I kidnapped myself
I was my own captivity
This world's madness isn't for me
I prefer my bed
Put on my pajamas, that's it
Tune my mind
Live in Bangladesh
Chat with the fish
Romance in a horror movie
I prefer my bed
Put on my pajamas, that's it
Tune my mind
Live in Bangladesh
Chat with the fish
Romance in a horror movie
They'll interview me for a Madagascar newspaper
Lying on electrons
Levitating with my bonsais
Discussing the future
With sea lions
Geckos, pigeons and opossums
This skull is my refuge
Nobody stops me
Nobody stops me, yeah
This skull is my refuge
Morpheus told me to never wake up
One day I kidnapped myself
I was my own captivity
This world's madness isn't for me
I prefer my bed
Put on my pajamas, that's it
Tune my mind
Live in Bangladesh
Chat with the fish
Romance in a horror movie
I prefer my bed
Put on my pajamas, that's it
Tune my mind
Live in Bangladesh
Chat with the fish
Romance in a horror movie
I prefer my bed
Put on my pajamas
Live in Bangladesh
Chat with the fish
Romance in a horror movie
I prefer my bed
Put on my pajamas, that's it
Tune my mind
Live in Bangladesh
Chat with the fish
Romance in a horror movie
I don't leave this coma
Not even by force
I don't leave this bed
Not even by force
I don't leave this bed

SONG MEANING

“Bonsai” turns the simple act of staying in bed into an adventure of cosmic proportions. The singer brews a make-believe tea, chats with birds about the secrets of flight, then drifts through conversations with fish, sea lions, and even imaginary reporters from Madagascar. Surrounded by miniature bonsai trees, his bedroom morphs into a private universe where he can levitate on electrons and set up house in distant Bangladesh without ever leaving his pajamas.

Behind all this playful imagery lies a message about escapism and self-care. Instead of embracing the chaos of the outside world, the narrator stages his own “kidnapping,” retreating into his own mind for peace and creativity. The repeated line “Esse crânio é o meu refúgio” (“This skull is my refuge”) reminds us that our thoughts can be both sanctuary and playground, offering a safe space to recharge before facing reality again.
