Tsunami Lyrics in English Bunbury

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Tsunami by Bunbury from Spanish to English.
Don't get confused
The more I limit myself, the more I free myself
From the curse of greatness
Thanks to the splendor
Of the herbs
My possibilities increase
If your attention drops
And the repercussion
In the final result
I'll ruin your predictions
And small events
With no apparent connection
Can completely change what you expect of me
Like a slow-motion tsunami
Time passes and each time
You lower your head more
And like a slow-motion tsunami
Time passes and each time
You lower your head more
If we have to decide
With the coins in the air
And, the future, an unreachable land
Probably hostile
That a no awaits us
I'll ruin your predictions
And small events
With no apparent connection
Can completely change what you expect of me
Like a slow-motion tsunami
Time passes and each time
You lower your head more
Like a slow-motion tsunami
Time passes and each time
You lower your head more

SONG MEANING

Tsunami is Bunbury’s clever reminder that the quietest ripple can grow into a life-changing wave. At first glance, the lyrics talk about limiting oneself, yet this self-restraint is exactly what sets the singer free. By stepping away from the pressure of “grandeur” and soaking in nature’s simple “hierbas,” he finds clarity. The less attention the outside world pays, the more room he has to surprise everyone, overturning predictions just like a slow-motion tsunami that nobody saw coming.

Bunbury also toys with the idea of fate. Flipping coins, peering into a “probably hostile” future, he shows that life is a gamble—small, seemingly unconnected moments can flip the whole story on its head. As time marches on, the doubters lower theirs, but the singer keeps building momentum beneath the surface. The message? Don’t underestimate quiet persistence; pressure may bow heads, yet it also primes the wave that will one day rise spectacularly high.
