Marco gained his fame after winning the Soundmixshow on the 7th of April 1990 with his representation of the song At This Moment. After winning the contest he made three Italian albums. However, they were of limited commercial success. In 1994 he switched to singing his songs in Dutch (of which many are translations of Italian songs). His big breakthrough was the song Dromen zijn bedrog which remained at the number 1 position for 12 weeks, which is still a record in the Dutch Top 40.
Marco is married to Leontine Ruiters and they have three children: Luca (1998), Senna (2002) and Jada (2003). His favorite artists are Paskal Jakobsen, Bløf, Paul Carrack and Phil Collins.
Afscheid Nemen Bestaat Niet
Marco Borsato Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ik ga wel weg maar verlaat je niet!
Lief je moet me geloven, al doet het pijn.
Ik wil dat je me los laat...
en dat je morgen weer verder gaat!
Maar als je eenzaam of bang bent...
zal ik er zijn!
'k kom als de wind die je voelt en de regen!
Volg wat je doet als het licht van de maan!
zoek me in alles dan kom je me tegen!
Fluister mijn naam...en ik kom eraan!
Zie...wat onzichtbaar is!
Wat je gelooft is waar!
Open je ogen maar en...
dan zal ik bij je zijn!
Alles wat jij moet doen...
is mij op mijn woord geloven!
Afscheid nemen bestaat niet...
'k kom als de wind die je voelt en de regen!
Volg wat je doet als het licht van de maan!
zoek me in alles dan kom je me tegen!
Fluister mijn naam...en ik kom eraan!
Kijk in de lucht, kijk naar de zee!
Waar je ook zult lopen, ja ik loop met je mee!
Iedere stap en ieder moment...
waar je dan ook bent!
Wat je ook doet, waar je ook gaat...
wanneer je me nodig hebt...
fluister gewoon mijn naam...
en ik kom eraan!!!
Afscheid nemen bestaat niet...!
The song "Afscheid Nemen Bestaat Niet" by Marco Borsato talks about the idea that saying goodbye is not really goodbye at all. Even if someone leaves, they will always be there for their loved ones. The song conveys the message that while it may be difficult to move on, life goes on and people should continue to live and love. The lyrics encourage listeners to believe in the intangible things in life and to never lose hope that the people they love will always be there for them.
The song is a tribute to a friend who passed away while Borsato was on stage singing the song, which makes it even more poignant. Despite the tragedy happening in the middle of the performance Borsato continued to sing, and the emotion he poured into the song was felt by everyone who was present. The song has become an anthem in the Netherlands, and it resonates with many people who have lost someone they love.
The song was written by John Ewbank and was released in 2003. It reached number one in the Dutch Top 40 and stayed in the charts for 17 weeks. The music video for the song was shot on the coast of Curaçao and features Borsato walking along the shore, singing the song. The video was directed by Dick Carré.

Saying goodbye does not exist
I'll go away but i'm not leaving you
Dear, you must believe me
Even if it hurts ...
I want you to let me go
And you'll go on tomorrow
But if you're lonely or scared
I'll be there ..
Come like the wind you feel and the rain
Follow what you're doing like the light of the moon
Look for me in everything, and you will see me
Whisper my name,
and I'll be coming
See, what is invisible
What you believe is true
Open your eyes
And, I will be with you
Everything you need to do
Is to take me on my word for it
Saying goodbye does not exist
Come like the wind you feel and the rain
Follow what you're doing like the light of the moon
Look for me in everything, and you will see me
Whisper my name,
and I'll be coming
Look to the sky
Look at the sea
Wherever you will walk yes I will walk with you
Every step and every moment
Wherever you are!
Whatever you do
Wherever you go
If you need me
Just whisper my name
And I'll be coming
Saying goodbye does not exist

Watch my name and start me
The car's a wreck, man, from archery
If you need milk, fall-over, don't you pine
If you rupture a lost lung...
An urchin boy who's afraid of fart
An ulcer clings on my bum bag... So leave it there
Cool "monster thing" deer. Foot, and her ankles.
Oh what you do, also leaked from your man
Look there in Alice, I'll call you a tanker
Flies took my nan... Let go my love
Z... What, I checked my itch
Watching a loaf expire
Open your own for now
Nan... Dumb Sonic, pay your shame
Also chain you too
He smiled when warts go home. Fur...
Wash my name and start me
Oh "monster thing" deer. Foot, and her ankles.
Oh what you do, also leaked from your mind
Look there in Alice, I'll call you My Tanker!
Flies took my nan!!! And a good mayor
Can't get a look, can't get a shave
Bio-tube open wine, oh for Jimmy
Need you to stop and need your romance, now you've gone away
Yeah yeah yeah yeah. Bought you a boot, buy you a kite
Buy me Minogue and kill passion on a full night now...
And there goes my nan...
Wash my name and start me
@petertrossaert7340
In de tunnel van verdriet
waar je licht noch toekomst ziet
waar ’t gemis je lichaam raakt
waar je hete tranen laat
tot in je ziel de leegte voelt
daar is het leven onderkoeld
afscheid nemen doet zo’n pijn
en ’t zal altijd bij me zijn
blijven tot m’n laatste snik
je liefste verliezen blijft, weet ik
sterkte aan ieder .
