Eindelijk Vandaag
Guus Meeuwis Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Gister scheen de zon
Vandaag een grijze regen
Zo'n dag je het liefst maar
Meteen over zou slaan
De verbouwing van de buurman
Slaat de spijker op zijn kop
Berouw miauwt om aandacht
Hoogste tijd om op te staan

Want vanavond schijnt De zon
Vannacht verdwijnt de regen
Een hemel vol met sterren
Al de wolken naar de maan
Vanavond zie ik jou
Is deze lange dag vergeten
Vanavond zie ik jou
Want vanavond wordt het eindelijk vandaag

De koffiebus is leeg
En de melk die is bedorven
Geen koffie zonder melk
In zo'n geval het juiste plan
Al zoekend naar mijn sleutels

Vind ik zo'n blauwe envelop
Die ik misschien maar beter morgen open maken kan

Overall Meaning

The song "Eindelijk Vandaag" by Guus Meeuwis is about the contrast between a dreary day and an upcoming evening filled with excitement and joy. The first verse describes a grey and dismal day that the singer wishes they could simply skip over. The noise of a neighbor's renovation work only adds to the unhappy mood. The second verse, however, offers hope for the future with a change in weather and plans for a romantic evening under a starry sky. The singer urges themselves to get up and get ready to enjoy this upcoming special time.

The chorus emphasizes the idea that tonight will be a turning point, the moment when the long day will finally be forgotten and the true joy will finally begin. There is a sense of anticipation and excitement for what is to come. The final verse has a note of irony, as the singer deals with the mundane issue of spoiled milk while searching for their keys. However, despite this minor setback, the singer remains optimistic about what the night holds.

Overall, the song provides a message of hope for listeners who may be experiencing a rough day. It emphasizes the power of looking forward to something positive and refusing to let negative circumstances bring you down.

Gister scheen de zon
Yesterday the sun was shining

Vandaag een grijze regen
Today it's a grey raining day

Zo'n dag je het liefst maar
A day you'd rather skip

Meteen over zou slaan
Immediately pass through

De verbouwing van de buurman
The renovation of the neighbor

Slaat de spijker op zijn kop
Hits the nail on the head

Berouw miauwt om aandacht
Remorse begs for attention

Hoogste tijd om op te staan
High time to get up

Want vanavond schijnt De zon
Because tonight the sun will shine

Vannacht verdwijnt de regen
Tonight the rain will disappear

Een hemel vol met sterren
A sky full of stars
