Verse 1

It's not very big

But I don't need more than this

Verse 1

The place I know

Here I recharge, my spot to rest

Here I can be who I am

Chorus 1

How nice it is

To be home again

Chorus 1

Far more beautiful than the greatest trip

I feel it right away, the security

I'm nowhere as safe

Chorus 1

As in my own little piece of paradise

Verse 2

What's so great about mountains and valleys

Her land, ocean and the sky

I look around me

I take a deep breath

Verse 2

And yet, I want to come back every time

Chorus 2

How nice it is

To be home again

Chorus 2

Far more beautiful than the greatest trip

I feel it right away, the familiarity

I'm nowhere as happy

As in my own little piece of paradise

Bridge

Every time I leave I glance back

And pause at what hides behind the window by the balcony

Everything my heart loves so much, what it's all about

What'll describe me best when all the rest blows away

The feeling that I belong here

Bridge

I always carry it with me

Because of what's waiting for me when I return

I'm never really alone anywhere

Bridge

I recognize the fields and the roads

The route with my eyes closed

Bridge

I know it's not far now

Chorus 3

What matters most, I've missed the most

The smell of your hair

The color of your eyes

Chorus 3

That radiant smile that keeps enchanting me

The door's wide open, there you stand

I know I'm home

I'm home

How nice it is

To be with you again

Chorus 3

I'm nowhere as happy as in my own little piece of paradise

My own little piece

How nice it is

To be home again

SONG MEANING

“Thuis” feels like a warm hug after a long journey. Marco Borsato paints home as a humble yet magical place where every familiar scent, street, and smile instantly recharges his spirit. No matter how breathtaking mountains or oceans may be, nothing compares to stepping through a welcoming doorway and hearing the laughter of loved ones. The song celebrates that comforting moment when you recognize the fields outside, breathe in the scent of someone’s hair, and realize you are exactly where you belong.

At its heart, this track reminds us that true paradise is personal and portable. Borsato shows that you carry the feeling of home inside you, fueled by memories and the promise of return. Each departure only deepens the joy of coming back to your “eigen kleine stukje paradijs” — your own little slice of paradise — proving that safety, happiness, and identity bloom brightest where love lives.
