Verse 1
18 years old
I saw you walking
Verse 1
Wavy hair, deep blue eyes
You looked back
Unbelievable
Verse 1
For a moment, I was broken
18 years old
A summer evening
Hold me tight
Until the sun comes up
I have to leave
Give me one more kiss
Are you coming with me
Let's be silly
And who would have thought
The two of us, so many years old
Still happy together
You made all my dreams come true
And when you smile at me
I still feel after all this time
What I With you and you with me
I never, no, never want to lose you again
Who would have ever thought
18 years old
We keep it open
So in love, but the fire can still go out
Day by day
Never promised anything
And expected nothing, still walking around crazy
Who would have thought
The two of us, so many years old
Still happy together
You made all my dreams come true
And when you smile at me
I still feel after all this time
What I With you and you with me
I never, no, never want to lose you again
Who would have ever thought
We've been told so many times
This isn't real
No, you're way too young
But we always held on
And now
Now we're here
So give me your hand
Look deep into my eyes
Because as we stand here together
I promise to carry on forever
Who would have ever thought
That after so many years we still
Declare our love to each other
You still make my dreams come true
And when you smile at me
I still feel after all this time
That I belong to you and you belong to me
No, I never, no, never want to lose you again
Who would have ever
Thought
Hey

SONG MEANING

18 Jaar whisks us back to that electric moment when a teenager sees someone unforgettable: wavy hair, deep-blue eyes, and a summer evening that seems to last forever. With zero promises and a playful urge to “do something crazy,” the young couple dives into a night of stolen kisses and starry-eyed excitement, fully aware the fire could fade but choosing to live in the now.

Verse by verse, those impulsive sparks turn into a lifelong blaze. Friends predicted the romance would burn out, yet years later the pair is still laughing, still making each other’s dreams come true, and still refusing to let go. Borsato’s lyrics are a love letter to staying power: a reminder that first-sight butterflies can evolve into a rock-solid partnership if you keep holding hands, keep believing, and keep dancing until sunrise.
