It's just Boef, man!

I'm here with Gers

I still know exactly how all this started

We met up for the first time at Central Station

So there I was with a box of chocolates

You wore a fur-trimmed coat, down to just above your butt

You already knew me from the clothing store

But you didn't catch my eye 'cause I had no taste back then

Yet we started meeting more often

And we'd get lost till deep in the night

From Rotterdam North to Rotterdam West

Riding without a ticket in the back of the tram

But we couldn't care less

Cause neither of us had a red cent

I've felt blessed since I met you

But when I'm with you now

Everybody just wants to know who you are

Because when you walk by

I'm history

All because of you

When you walk by

Nobody looks at me anymore

Only at you

Only at you only at you

Cause everyone stares when you walk by

Only at you only at you

Cause everyone stares when you walk by

And because of you I felt like a real man

In a park on a blanket with a picnic basket

White wine and some French cheese

Blinded by love in the perfect place

Your perfume wafts through the whole house every day

And everybody wants a woman like you

Because you conquered my whole heart

And we roamed through the whole city

From Rotterdam North to Rotterdam West

Riding without a ticket in the back of the tram

But we couldn't care less

Cause neither of us had a red cent

I've felt blessed since I met you

But when I'm with you now

Everybody just wants to know who you are

Because when you walk by

I'm history

All because of you

When you walk by

Nobody looks at me anymore

Only at you

Only at you only at you

Cause everyone stares when you walk by

Only at you only at you

Cause everyone stares when you walk by

It's just Boef, man!

Look, when you walk by, you make lots of girls mad

Beautiful hair and your butt is big

Things are steady, I can say I make bread

Only my Louboutins make me go in the red

Call me up with a crew, I'm there in a sec

And she gasps at the price so I comfort her

If you're sweet you can come to my show

But dress decent, not that 'just show it' type

And I know h*es but you're not the same

You're a 10, but I've known you since I was 11

It's Ken-zo, but we'll find that out later

F*ck a boss, we're gonna work on our dream

When you walk by, when you walk by

Because when you walk by

I'm history

All because of you

When you walk by

Nobody looks at me anymore

Only at you

Only at you only at you

Cause everyone stares when you walk by

Only at you only at you

Cause everyone stares when you walk by

Did you like this lyrics translation?

geblesst — blessed

Geblesst is a Dutch adaptation of the English word "blessed." It's an interesting choice because it shows how English slang and vocabulary can be integrated into Dutch, especially in modern music.

In the song, the artist says, "Voel mij geblesst sinds ik je ken" (I feel blessed since I've known you). This word conveys a strong sense of gratitude and good fortune, making it a memorable and emotionally resonant term within the lyrics.

“Als Jij Langs Loopt” is a love letter set to a hip-hop beat. Gers Pardoel looks back on the very first date at Rotterdam Central Station, chocolate box in hand, both of them too broke to buy tram tickets. From late-night wanderings through Rotterdam-Noord and Rotterdam-West to a picnic with white wine and French cheese, the song paints a vivid picture of two youngsters who have nothing in their wallets but feel rich because they have each other.

The chorus says it all: when you walk by, nobody sees me anymore, only you. Her charisma is so strong that the singer gladly fades into the background, proud that everyone is staring at the woman he loves. Guest rapper BOEF jumps in with playful bravado, praising her beauty while promising to work hard for their shared dream. In the end, the track is an upbeat celebration of devotion, confidence and that head-turning magic a special person can bring into an ordinary day.
