Onzichtbaar means "invisible". It’s built from zichtbaar (visible) with the prefix on- that turns it into the opposite, making it a great word for learners to see how Dutch forms negatives.
In the song, "Zie / Wat onzichtbaar is" invites you to "see what is invisible", expressing the idea that love and presence can still be felt even when someone is physically gone. That poetic contrast makes onzichtbaar a memorable and emotional word to learn.
Afscheid Nemen Bestaat Niet (literally Goodbyes Don’t Exist) is Marco Borsato’s comforting promise that real love never packs its bags. Singing from the perspective of someone who has to leave, he reassures his partner that his presence will linger in the wind on her cheek, the rain on her window, and the moonlight guiding her path. He urges her to keep moving forward, confident she can summon him at any moment by simply whispering his name.
The song transforms the pain of separation into a soothing vow of eternal connection. Whether distance, time, or even death tries to come between them, the bond they share transcends it all. By believing in what cannot be seen, the listener finds strength, hope, and the warm certainty that they are never truly alone.
