't Is Voorbij
Dirk Meeldijk Lyrics

These lyrics tell the story of a person who had complete trust and love for their partner but was suddenly abandoned, leaving them devastated and confused. The first paragraph describes how there was never a reason to doubt the partner's faithfulness, emphasizing the strong connection they had as husband and wife. The singer was happy in their relationship until the partner unexpectedly left, causing them great sorrow and confusion. The partner's words, "'t is nu voorbij" (it's over now), left the singer in disbelief and deep sadness.

The second paragraph reflects the singer's realization that their partner had been involved with someone else for months. It indicates the pain caused and the difficulty in accepting this betrayal. The singer questions what the partner still wants from them, clearly expressing that they no longer see a future together and that it's over for good. Despite this realization, there is a wish for the partner's happiness and a willingness to let them go, hence the lines "Oh oh oh 'k wens je veel geluk" (Oh oh oh I wish you much happiness).

In the third paragraph, the singer slowly starts to understand that the partner is no longer interested in them. They have learned to accept the situation and find solace among their friends, where they can once again be themselves and feel good. There is no more pain or distress, as indicated by the line "Ik voel me fijn geen centje pijn" (I feel fine, not a single bit of pain). The singer asserts their independence and asks the partner to leave, stating that their luck has run out.

The final paragraph reiterates the singer's realization about the partner's infidelity and reinforces their decision to no longer harbor any feelings or concerns for them. There is an expression of detachment, with a firm affirmation that the relationship is over. The repeated lines "Oh oh oh 'k wens je veel geluk" (Oh oh oh I wish you much happiness) and "Oh oh oh 'k maak me niet meer druk" (Oh oh oh I don't worry anymore) highlight the singer's emotional detachment and desire to move on. They express a desire to be left alone, reinforcing their resolve to leave the past behind and accept that it's over.
