The look in her eyes
Changes the color of my day
It's unbelievable
From black when she's angry
To bluer than blue when she laughs
The sun constantly hangs in love around her
And the moon never leaves her alone for a second
A word from her lips
Can work wonders every time
It's unpredictable
Sometimes she sounds like thunder
And sometimes like a sunny season
But no matter how hard it freezes
She thaws again so quickly
As long as she's with me, I'm never bored
Because she
She is the sun and the moon for me
She has the best of both
So mysterious
And so warm at the same time
And she does something to me
She is free
Free to go but she stays with me
She is the ebb and flow in me
She is irresistible
She just tells me what she thinks
A woman and a child
She is wind and calm
And she
She belongs with me
And she opens a world for me
She is the sun on my skin and the rain
Wind with and wind against
She is in everything for me
She makes me happy
She holds me tight, makes me free
She is always there
She makes me part of her big whole
She is the better half
Of me
She
She
She is the sun and the moon for me
She has the best of both
So mysterious
And so warm at the same time
And she does something to me
She is free
Free to go but she stays with me
She is the ebb and flow in me
She is irresistible
She just tells me what she thinks
A woman and a child
She is wind and calm
And she
A woman and a child
She is wind and calm
And she
She
She belongs with me

SONG MEANING

“Zij” is Marco Borsato’s glowing love letter to the woman who turns his whole world into living color. From the first line, he paints her as a force of nature: her eyes can flip a gloomy day into bright blue skies, her words can rumble like thunder one moment and feel like a summer breeze the next. Sun, moon, tides, storm and calm — every image shows how completely she shapes his moods and moments. Even when she is free to leave, she chooses to stay, and that choice makes their connection feel both thrilling and safe at the same time.

The chorus celebrates her beautiful contradictions: mysterious yet warm, wind and wind-still, the better half of him. Borsato is telling us that true love is not about finding someone perfect, but someone who brings out every shade of life and makes it unforgettable. With its sweeping metaphors and heartfelt delivery, the song reminds listeners that the right person can be both your sunlight and your moonlight, guiding you through every high tide and low tide with effortless grace.
