Waiting so long
Locked up in a world so small
But that's over now
I'm happily free again
Everything's changed, but my heart's still the same as back then
And even though it has to be different
I've still got so much to do with you
And we toast to life
It's never too late for that
To the love we share
That's what really matters
No, I won't miss a chance
Every day is a gift
And you don't have to want everything
Life's already so beautiful
So I'm content
With everything that comes my way
Forget the past now
Then we'll make a new start
And we toast to life
It's never too late for that
To the love we share
That's what really matters
And we toast to life
It's never too late for that
To the love we share
That's what really matters
And we toast to life
To the love we share
And we toast to life
To the love we share
And we toast to life
It's never too late for that
To the love we share
That's what really matters
And we toast to life
It's never too late for that
To the love we share
That's what really matters

SONG MEANING

Raise your glass! In “Proosten Op Het Leven,” Dutch singer André Hazes celebrates the sweet rush of freedom after feeling boxed in for far too long. The narrator has finally broken out of a “wereld zo klein” (a world so small) and is thrilled to be free again. Although everything around him has changed, his heart is still the same, and he cannot wait to share new adventures with the person he loves.

The chorus is a joyful invitation to toast to life itself. Hazes reminds us that it is never too late to celebrate love, to seize every chance, and to appreciate each day as a gift. By leaving the past behind and focusing on what truly matters—togetherness and gratitude—the song encourages listeners to live in the moment, cherish simple pleasures, and keep clinking their glasses to the beauty of now.
