Lang Geleden
Guus Meeuwis Lyrics

In Guus Meeuwis's song "Lang Geleden," the singer reflects on past memories of a carefree and joyful time spent with a loved one. The opening lines reveal that they had "the time and the world" to themselves, and were committed to each other in an eternal bond. They knew each other's personalities and habits perfectly and growing old was not a concern. The singer reminisces about spending the night chasing the moon and listening to Elvis in a small brown café, sharing their own previously written songs with each other. Life was full of youthful energy and love.

The second verse shows how they dreamt of the future together, enjoying each other's company and feeling like royalty with their freshly earned wealth. They never even considered the possibility of bad luck. The chorus repeats and emphasizes that while so much time has passed, their bond remains unbroken. They may have matured, but their friendship and love for each other have persisted.

In the bridge of the song, the singer acknowledges that they have both experienced life's ups and downs, but they have held on to what they shared. They may have been bent at times, but they never broke. They can still offer so much to each other and are grateful that what they have remains.
