[Verse 1] Bratislava appeared beyond the bus window The capital of Slovakia The Blue Church reflected in the sky A quiet city welcomed us St Martins Cathedral stood before us Bratislava Castle rose upon the hill Feeling the Danube wind We looked across the city of red roofs [Verse 2] We passed through Freedom Square And Grassalkovich Palace The spray of Roland Fountain Primacialny Palac Beautiful in soft pink and white We came across the Cumil Statue And stopped to admire the street art The city was never loud or flashy Yet its quiet charm grew with every step [Chorus] Bratislava a quiet city Strange new scenes remain in my heart It was only a short stay But I was glad that we came [Verse 3] Along the journey we discovered A small ramen restaurant A Japanese owner behind the counter The steam carried a taste of home More than twenty five hundred yen for one bowl For a moment I hesitated But it was an investment worth making A taste of Japan after so long The warmth of the soup reached deep inside That bowl in a distant city Supported our hearts on a short journey And became a taste I will never forget [Instrumental Interlude] The fujara echoed in the distance The cimbalom quietly rang The simple sound of the heligonka Blended perfectly with the air of the city [Bridge] There were still so many roads to discover Even in such a short stay But I will never forget The quiet kindness I felt here Travel is not only about dazzling places Some views stay quietly in your heart When you see a city with your own eyes There are things you understand for the first time [Final Verse] The bus terminal stood inside a shopping mall With a supermarket and waiting rooms A free restroom gave us peace of mind As we calmly waited for the next bus The gentle wind of Bratislava The city seen from the castle hill Street art beside old walls All remain quietly in my heart Inside the bus bound for the next country The city lights slowly faded away Carrying this brief journey in our hearts We move on to the next chapter
