Budapest during the summer
Budapest is much more free during the summerBudapest is much more free during the summer
Budapest is much more free during the summer
I bounce from home, take the elevator down, heading for the street
The plains of Pest and the bumps of Buda await me1
I don't need a bag and sandals are considered cringe this year
Let's eat an ice cream at the Oktogon2
And then get a move on but keep it cool
Hungarian girls never disappoint us
It's all quality chassis, it's all nicely shaped airbags
I'm inviting a couple more pals
Meeting at the Nyugati3at the rotating clock
Slightly bubbly is better than fully carbonated
It smells like pee under every bridge
Hey, I've got no moolah on me! Wait up!
Don't fret it if you've got zilch, because
There are lots of squares, lots of parks and lots of gardens here
And for open-air parties you don't need cash
BKV4is free! Yeaaah...
Budapest is much more free during the summer
Budapest is much more free during the summer
Budapest is much more free during the summer
Budapest is much more free during the summer
Budapest is much more free during the summer
Budapest is much more free during the summer
When the summer comes, the concrete melts
The railway platform is full by the train that's headed for Balaton5
I'm turning back, I'm going to stay in Pest
If I play basketball all day, I can hold onto some cash
The air is steaming around the Déli6
But in the subway the draft will cool me down
I'm cooked alive on the street while being half naked
How can he take it in leather pants and snake skin boots?
We inflate the small pool at the gas station
It just barely holds together if two of us sit in it
We drink beers while the ball is bouncing
We are about to drown under the sunflower seed shells7
But when the night comes, the turf is ours
We keep throwing the ball until dawn and we rap in freestyle
Budapest is much more free during the summer
Three people are saying that and this is my vote also
Budapest is much more free during the summer
Budapest is much more free during the summer
Budapest is much more free during the summer
Budapest is much more free during the summer
Budapest is much more free during the summer
Budapest is much more free during the summer
There is no freer, there is no free-e-er place!
There is no freer, there is no free-e-er place!
There is no freer, there is no free-e-er place!
This is Budapest, this is Budapest
There's a real festival vibe everywhere
If you're looking for activities, check out the real menu!
We're setting out from the Blaha8and we'll go to the Pala9at ten
We are gawping at uncovered breasts from the bridge
And once we've dabbled in the water and had some beach food
We saunter home but we stop along to way at our breakdancing bros at the Jászai10
Then we're headed for the Kálvin11with the car
Because during the summer, the traffic doesn't suck, not even with a car
The music is fully cranked up, the elbow is out the window
After a couple of phone calls, lots of pals wait for me
At the crowded terrace, my body is vibrating already
And we're brainstorming at the bar, where else we should go
There's a sexy chick galore at the parties
Dancing on the dance floor, finishing it on the bed
And during the summer that's how it goes every day because
Budapest is much more free during the summer
Budapest is much more free during the summer
Budapest is much more free during the summer
Budapest is much more free during the summer
Budapest is much more free during the summer
Budapest is much more free during the summer
Give it over to me now, let me bend the words!
But just carefully, I don't want to tear down the brains!
There's no time for a high five, dinner gets skipped today
The numerous storefronts of Budapest are winking at you
Well, the way I ride, is not the way to ride
I'm pedaling so hard, the concrete almost parts
What I like about Pest is that there're plenty of spaces
Where you can wake up under a chair
And if I still have a modicum of energy
Maybe it's a bad decision, a mistake for sure
I go and I ride my bike to a new party
Even if I'm not up for getting hooked up anymore
Huh, but eventually I warm up within a minute
I put a lock on the bike and I'm already making moves on the dance floor
And I get wild, I'm knocking down glasses too, I bet
Now this is what I like about Budapest during the summer
It's not the rain, not the wind, not the steam, not the sleet
Not the typhoon, not the ice, not the holy month of Christmas
But the light, the streets, the smell of the sweat of the chicks
Everybody in Budapest knows, that during the summer you should never go home from a party
Budapest is much more free during the summer
Budapest is much more free during the summer
Budapest is much more free during the summer
Budapest is much more free during the summer
Budapest is much more free during the summer
Budapest is much more free during the summer
Budapest is much more free during the summer
Budapest is much more free during the summer
Budapest is much more free during the summer
Budapest is much more free during the summer
Budapest is much more free during the summer
Budapest is much more free during the summer
Buda-Budapest is much more free during the summer
