Twee lege handen
Danny de Munk Lyrics

The lyrics of Danny de Munk's song "Twee lege handen" express the regret and longing of the singer after breaking up with his partner. In the first verse, he admits to making a foolish decision of wanting to be single, believing that being alone would be more fulfilling. However, he has now realized that being with his ex-girlfriend is what truly makes him happy and fulfilled.

The chorus emphasizes the feeling of emptiness and loneliness that he experiences without his partner. He compares it to a child standing alone with empty hands, symbolizing vulnerability and helplessness. The absence of his partner leaves a void in his life, and he longs for her presence to fill it.

In the second verse, the singer expresses his genuine feelings of love for his ex-girlfriend. He acknowledges that his life will never be good without her and pleads for her to come back to him. He promises to be loving and devoted to her, highlighting his desire to make things right and reconcile their relationship.

The repetition of the chorus reinforces the singer's sense of abandonment and yearning. He continues to feel alone in the cold and longs for his ex-girlfriend's return. The phrase "met twee lege handen die verlangen naar jou" (with two empty hands that long for you) emphasizes his longing and need for her presence and love.

The repetition of the closing line "Alleen naar jou" (Only to you) emphasizes the singer's realization that he only desires his ex-girlfriend and no one else. It serves as a final plea for her to come back and highlights his understanding that she is the one who truly completes him.
