“Thuis” feels like a warm hug after a long journey. Marco Borsato paints home as a humble yet magical place where every familiar scent, street, and smile instantly recharges his spirit. No matter how breathtaking mountains or oceans may be, nothing compares to stepping through a welcoming doorway and hearing the laughter of loved ones. The song celebrates that comforting moment when you recognize the fields outside, breathe in the scent of someone’s hair, and realize you are exactly where you belong.
At its heart, this track reminds us that true paradise is personal and portable. Borsato shows that you carry the feeling of home inside you, fueled by memories and the promise of return. Each departure only deepens the joy of coming back to your “eigen kleine stukje paradijs” — your own little slice of paradise — proving that safety, happiness, and identity bloom brightest where love lives.
