Zij Lyrics in English Marco Borsato

“Zij” is Marco Borsato’s glowing love letter to the woman who turns his whole world into living color. From the first line, he paints her as a force of nature: her eyes can flip a gloomy day into bright blue skies, her words can rumble like thunder one moment and feel like a summer breeze the next. Sun, moon, tides, storm and calm — every image shows how completely she shapes his moods and moments. Even when she is free to leave, she chooses to stay, and that choice makes their connection feel both thrilling and safe at the same time.

The chorus celebrates her beautiful contradictions: mysterious yet warm, wind and wind-still, the better half of him. Borsato is telling us that true love is not about finding someone perfect, but someone who brings out every shade of life and makes it unforgettable. With its sweeping metaphors and heartfelt delivery, the song reminds listeners that the right person can be both your sunlight and your moonlight, guiding you through every high tide and low tide with effortless grace.
