Verse 1

I didn't hear the alarm, it's already half past twelve

I quickly got out of bed on the wrong foot

I eat burnt toast, I wasn't paying attention

Drink the worst cup of coffee I've ever made

I'm in a hurry

I'm looking for my bike

Verse 1

But I only find my lock and nothing else

My boss calls

Whatever

Verse 1

Maybe time for a new job

What a lovely day

Verse 2

I've been standing at Central Station for a while

Waiting for a train on the wrong platform

So I run and just catch it

It was close but I made it

I'm dead tired, my eyes are closing

Even though that bench isn't all that comfy

I wake up in a strange city

I'm kinda fed up by now

What a lovely day

Verse 3

I'm on the square in the sun

It's a day that maybe didn't start off too great

But the sun's out, I spot a killer terrace

I say bring me something cool in a really big glass

And I look up and there you are

And you ask me, "Is this seat free?"

You look at me with your radiant smile and ask

How's your day, if I may ask?

What a lovely day

SONG MEANING

Have you ever had one of those mornings when everything that can go wrong actually does? In “Mooie Dag,” Dutch singer Jayh paints an almost cartoon-like chain of mishaps: oversleeping till half past twelve, burning the toast, brewing terrible coffee, losing his bike, and hopping on the wrong train. By stacking these relatable blunders one after another, he captures that sinking feeling of a day spiraling out of control.

Yet Jayh flips the script just as quickly as it unravels. The sun comes out, he finds a sunny terrace, orders an ice-cold drink, and locks eyes with someone whose smile changes everything. The chorus — “Een hele mooie dag” (“A very beautiful day”) — reminds us that even the worst morning can lead to a surprisingly perfect afternoon. One chance encounter, a bit of sunshine, and an open mind can turn disaster into delight. The song is a warm, catchy reminder to stay hopeful, because the next great moment might be only one smile away.
