Verse 1
Fresh morning in Paris
Just my business
Verse 1
I see the most beautiful French girl
On her sky-high heels
Verse 1
And I
Don't know what to say
Verse 1
I say
Hello my love
Miss, you're really beautiful
And, uh
And she says
I'm Dutch
I speak a little French
And I said
Speak Dutch with me
Just Dutch with me
My gut says we'll watch together tonight
To the Champs-Élysées
And to Notre Dame and to the Seine
And afterward together on the Eiffel Tower
And I felt it was right
I saw her smile so shyly
Can't believe it was real
She'd be mine
She looked like a mix of Doutzen, Edsilia and Anouk
Something happened to me
When she said
I'm Dutch
I speak a little French
And I said
Speak Dutch with me
Just Dutch with me
My gut says we'll watch together tonight
To the Champs-Élysées
And to Notre Dame and to the Seine
And afterward together on the Eiffel Tower
And then one more French word
I love you
I love you
I love you
I love you
I love you
I love you
Speak Dutch with me
Just Dutch with me
My gut says we'll watch together tonight
To the Champs-Élysées
And to Notre Dame and to the Seine
And then land together at Schiphol

SONG MEANING

Picture this: a bright Parisian morning, fresh croissants in the air, and Kenny B casually minding his own business when he spots a stunning woman teetering on sky-high heels. He charms her with his best French, only to discover she is actually Dutch. From that moment, the song turns into a playful linguistic dance: Kenny, originally from Suriname, begs her, “Praat Nederlands met me!” because sometimes nothing feels more intimate than speaking your own tongue.

“Parijs” is a feel-good ode to spontaneous love, language mash-ups, and wanderlust. As the pair imagines touring the Champs-Élysées, the Seine, and the Eiffel Tower, the lyrics remind us that romance often blossoms when cultures collide. The flirtatious back-and-forth between French and Dutch, sprinkled with sweet je t’aimes, shows how affection can bridge any language gap—until their dreamy stroll ends at Schiphol Airport, proving that home is wherever you connect heart-to-heart.
