Woorden in de Wind
Jo Vally Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Liefde op het eerste zicht
Zij viel voor zijn brede schouders
Voor zijn donker knap gezicht
Hij zei al wat zij wou horen
Zij dronk gulzig ieder woord
Ik hou van jou eeuwige trouw
En zo maar voort
Woorden in de wind
Het waren woorden in de wind
Geschreven in haar hart
Onschuldig als een kind
Woorden in de wind
Heel mooie woorden in de wind
Betaald met pijn en smart
Liefde maakt zo blind
Ja ze wonen nog samen
En ze draagt nog steeds zijn ring
Maar ze haat zijn brede schouder
De dwaze fout die ze beging
Hij probeert het goed te praten
Maar ze heeft genoeg gehoord
Zij luistert niet meer
Hij fluistert niet meer
Nee voor haar geen sprookjes meer
Woorden in de wind
Het waren woorden in de wind
Geschreven in haar hart
Onschuldig als een kind
Woorden in de wind
Veel mooie woorden in de wind
Betaald met pijn en smart
Liefde maakt zo blind
Woorden in de wind
Veel mooie woorden in de wind
Alles wat hij zei
Vloog als een droom voorbij
The lyrics of Jo Vally's song "Woorden in de Wind" tell the story of a relationship that began like a fairy tale, with love at first sight. The woman was enchanted by the man's physical attributes - his broad shoulders and handsome dark face - and was easily won over by his sweet words. He spoke the words she longed to hear, professing his love and eternal loyalty. It seemed like a perfect love story unfolding before her eyes.
However, as the song progresses, it becomes clear that these words were fleeting and insubstantial, like "Woorden in de Wind" - words in the wind. They were written in her heart innocently, like that of a child's trust. Despite the beauty of the promises made, they were ultimately paid for with pain and heartache, highlighting how love can blind us to reality.
The narrative then shifts to a point where the couple still resides together, and she still wears his ring, but her feelings have changed. She now resents his once adored broad shoulders, realizing the foolish mistake she made in believing his charming words. He attempts to rationalize his actions, but she has reached her limit of hearing meaningless reassurances. The trust is broken, and the enchantment of their love story has faded.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the ephemeral nature of the spoken promises, as they disappear like whispers in the wind. The beautiful words that once held meaning have now become distant echoes, leaving behind a sense of disillusionment and regret. The final verse underscores the fleeting quality of the man's declarations, as everything he once said now feels like a passing dream, devoid of substance or lasting impact.
In conclusion, "Woorden in de Wind" is a poignant reflection on the fragility of love, the power of words to deceive, and the painful realization that some promises are as transient as the wind. It portrays a cautionary tale of misplaced trust and the consequences of believing in superficial declarations of affection.
