Welkom by Dutch duo Nick & Simon is a heartfelt letter to an unborn child. The lyrics capture that magical mix of excitement, curiosity, and a pinch of nerves that washes over parents-to-be: choosing tiny pink or blue cuddly toys, wondering whose eyes the baby will inherit, and feeling the little kicks that make the future suddenly feel very real. Life may be a swirling mystery, but in this moment the parents find clarity—they already love this tiny newcomer more than anything and want the baby to know it will never lack a thing.
At the core of the song lies a promise. No matter how chaotic the world gets, the child is meer dan welkom—more than welcome. The parents admit they do not have all the answers, yet they vow to create a safe, loving home and hope, above all, that their child grows up happy. The tune is both a lullaby and a time capsule, capturing the awe of new life and the timeless circle of generations that keeps on turning.
