[Verse 1]
Walking through Ljubljana's streets so bright
Need some words to make things right
When you're lost or need a friend
These phrases help you comprehend

Dober dan means good day hello
Like Russian добрый день you know
But hvala's not like Russian praise
It's thank you in Slovenian ways

[Chorus]
Two essential phrases, learn them well
Dober dan and hvala, stories tell
Good day greetings open every door
Thank you shows respect and so much more
In Slovenia these words will see you through
Dober dan, hvala - just these two

[Verse 2]
Prosim sounds like Russian "we ask" indeed
But it means please when you're in need
You're welcome too, this word can say
Prosim works in either way

Oprosti sounds like Russian "forgive me"
Sorry works both formally
Da and ne like Russian yes and no
Same sounds help your learning flow

[Chorus]
Two essential phrases, learn them well
Dober dan and hvala, stories tell
Good day greetings open every door
Thank you shows respect and so much more
In Slovenia these words will see you through
Dober dan, hvala - just these two

[Bridge]
Govorite angleško - do you speak English please
Kje je sounds like Russian "where" with ease
Ne razumem - I don't understand
Koliko stane - cost throughout the land

[Final Chorus]
Start with phrases, learn them well
Dober dan and hvala, stories tell
Build from greetings, gratitude
Soon you'll speak with confidence renewed
In Slovenia these words will see you through
Dober dan, hvala - start with two

[Outro]
Good day, thank you
Dober dan, hvala
Your Slovenian journey starts right here
With courtesy crystal clear
