Verse 1
I know nothing about the world
Nothing but what I hear and see
Nothing but what I read
I don't know other countries
Even though I've been there
I don't know big cities
Except from books, except from TV
I don't know any other city
Than the city I live in
Chorus 1
She sends me postcards from Madrid
And from Moscow comes a letter
With the loveliest stories
God, she's so sweet
Yesterday from Lisbon 'I miss you' and a kiss
Today from Prague a note
'Cause there's so much to do
Chorus 1
And tomorrow, once the mailman finds my house again
She'll fill my heart up
With all the love from London
Verse 2
I know nothing about the world
Nothing but what I hear and see
Nothing but what I feel
I live from day to day
Without fear and without aim
I don't know distant countries
Except from my atlas
I dream them every night
Verse 2
But I only dream the countries
Where she once thought of me
Like a beautiful, grand faith
On the wall of my thoughts
A world map hangs waiting
Till she comes back
Verse 2
With her travels in my head
I plant flags in the earth
Same color, same worth
Chorus 2
But she sends me postcards from Madrid
And from Moscow comes a letter
With the loveliest stories
God, she's so sweet
Yesterday from Lisbon 'I miss you' and a kiss
Today from Prague a note
'Cause there's so much to do
Chorus 2
And tomorrow, once the mailman finds my house again
She'll fill my heart up
With all the love from London

SONG MEANING

“Liefs Uit Londen” is a warm postcard of a song, written from the viewpoint of someone who has never truly left home but travels the globe through the letters of a loved one. The narrator admits he knows nothing of the world beyond what he can see, hear, or read, yet dazzling descriptions keep arriving from cities like Madrid, Moscow, Lisbon, and London. Each postcard fills his small everyday life with color, excitement, and—most importantly—reassurance that she is thinking of him while she roams. The world map hanging in his mind lights up with every new destination, even though his feet stay firmly planted in the city he’s always known.

At its heart, the song is a bittersweet celebration of long-distance love and imagination. While she collects real-world adventures, he pins imaginary flags on his mental atlas and waits for her return. The contrast between his static routine and her whirlwind travels highlights how stories and affection can shrink great distances. Every envelope is a promise: until they meet again, all the love from London (and everywhere else) is on its way to him. It’s a reminder that you don’t need to cross borders to feel the thrill of discovery when someone you love carries the world back to you in words.
