     Vou fazer um chá com umas plantas ornamentais / Sentar nessa varanda na minha mente com os meus bonsais / Perguntar para os passarinhos / Como os pombos voam e que horas eles vão cantar / Esse crânio é o meu refúgio / Ninguém me impede de meditar

     I'ma make a cup of tea with ornamental plants / Sit on that veranda in my mind with my bonsais / Ask the birds / How do doves fly and what time are they gonna sing / This skull is my refuge / No one will stop me from meditating
