Voorbij Lyrics in English Marco Borsato , Dominique Van Hulst

Voorbij sees Dutch superstar Marco Borsato join forces with Dominique van Hulst to explore a breakup that refuses to end inside the heart. The singer feels his former lover everywhere: he hears the voice, sees the face in every room, and senses a shadow that clings to him. Although the relationship is technically finished, the memories turn every step through his house into a walk down memory lane.

The repeated line ‘Waar ik ben, daar ben jij’ (Where I am, there you are) sums up the struggle. He longs to be free, yet admits ‘Het is wel over, maar nog niet voorbij’ — it is over, but not yet past. The track captures that bittersweet limbo between ending and moving on, making it a perfect song for learners who want to feel the nuance of Dutch emotions while practicing vivid vocabulary about love, loss, and lingering memories.
