[Intro] Next stop Slovenia Slovakia was only a while ago The names sound so much alike I got a little confused along the way But the city beyond the bus doors Was calmer than I had imagined Not too urban not too crowded A gentle breeze was waiting there [Verse 1] On a street in the capital Ljubljana A beer illustration caught my eye Colors painted across walls and signs Were telling the story of the city Searching for the presence of dragons I walked along the riverside A figure standing on the old bridge Like a dragon guarding the town When I crossed the Dragon Bridge The legend still seemed alive Maybe I had expected too much The bridge was quieter than I thought [Pre-Chorus] Still the farther I walked the streets The more I loved the unfamiliar views There was something beyond the brightness A quiet space within Ljubljana [Chorus] Ljubljana city of dragons I followed the shadows of their wings Not too urban not too crowded A city that felt just right Ljubljana city of green Time came loose along the river Every time I walk an unknown land The way I travel starts to change [Verse 2] Climbing up to Ljubljana Castle The city opened at my feet Red rooftops and green trees Reached across Slovenia In Prešeren Square The voices sounded soft and warm Beyond the statue’s steady gaze Travelers lived their passing moments Sitting down at a café terrace I watched the people passing by The unhurried rhythm of the city Stayed with me in a gentle way [Verse 3] I waited at the terminal For the bus to the next country When I learned it was delayed for hours I felt a little disappointed On a day that would not follow plans I sighed and watched the time go by But beside me were a Japanese couple Traveling around the world Chasing many of the same horizons We had walked along different roads When we first met each other We had no idea what lay ahead [Bridge] I could not see the future yet Where we would meet again and again The time given by the delayed bus Quietly bound another page Even days that ignore our plans Can find their meaning later on The words we shared in the dragon city Would return to me someday [Final Chorus] Ljubljana city of dragons Even that disappointing bridge Has become a view I will never forget A treasure from the road Ljubljana Slovenia Wrapped in a calm and gentle breeze One encounter leads to another Quietly connecting our lives [Outro] A delayed bus brought us together For an unexpected moment in time Back then we did not know We would meet so many times again Leaving Ljubljana behind us The bus began to cross the road Watched over by the dragon’s wings Our journey carried on
