[Intro] Riding through the night on a bus Fourteen hours on the road Mountain landscapes flow outside the window And leave me breathless Arriving in Zurich after noon We take a train as soon as we arrive Every time I ride the train The fare is shockingly high [Verse 1] On the way to Stein am Rhein The mountains shine beyond the glass Even with the costly fares The scenery keeps calling me on I never planned to go swimming But the river was impossibly blue Drawn toward the crystal water I found myself diving in Cold water wrapped around my skin Bringing the summer sky closer Along the river on a perfect day Beauty left me without words [Chorus] Switzerland Switzerland mountains and rivers Alpine winds come rushing through Even the high prices disappear As the song of the land moves my heart Switzerland Switzerland crystal water Fresh springs rise throughout the towns Whenever I feel thirsty The country refreshes every traveler [Verse 2] From the hill of Munot Schaffhausen The old stone walls were touched by wind Riding back toward Zurich The evening town slowly faded away After spending the night in Zurich We boarded another train the next morning The high fare glowing on the screen Still we chased the next view [Verse 3] The valley of Lauterbrunnen Waterfalls descend from the sky Taking the cable car to Mürren We climbed beyond the clouds Even beneath a cloudy sky The mountains would not disappear Through the gaps in the white mist A breathtaking view took my heart [Chorus] Switzerland Switzerland mountains in the clouds There is beauty even when they hide Clear skies are not the only scenery There is a journey beyond the mist Switzerland Switzerland open sky Even my footsteps grow lighter Every time I look up The Alpine song keeps playing [Verse 4] On the road to Interlaken A different town begins to unfold A town held between lake and mountain Even the wind feels completely new At last we reached the capital Bern And looked up at the clock tower Church bells echoed through the streets The old town seemed to smile in silence [Bridge] A place where cold water can be drunk A gift flowing down from the high mountains Even when the prices surprise me Nothing can replace these views With the rhythm of Alpine folk songs My body starts to move on its own Clapping hands and stamping feet The tiredness turns into wind [Final Chorus] Switzerland Switzerland mountains and rivers Beyond fourteen hours on the road From Zurich all the way to Bern These were unforgettable views Switzerland Switzerland I want to return Next time I want to see the mountains beneath a clear sky I want to walk through Lauterbrunnen Valley And stand beneath the sky of Mürren [Outro] The clock in Bern announces the time And I begin walking toward the next road Clear water and Alpine winds Are still playing deep inside my heart
