I wrote a letter for you, Juul

A love letter?

I'm gonna read it to you now

Dear Julia

We were in the same class

And time after time my gaze was drawn to you

And I still know I really thought only one thing

Yo, come here, I wanna hug you

I fell in love

I thought you were special

But I wasn't a hero

I still remember our first date

I got butterflies in my stomach

My blood starts rushing faster when I see you

You're gorgeous inside and out

On the Amstel, Museum Square

The Vondel or Sarphati

I don't know what it is, but this city has something magical

We walk through the heart of this city in spring

Without thinking about us, it won't work

When I walk through the streets and she's not walking next to me

It's different than before

Love, who would've thought, it's black and white

We're all alone

And she gives color to the city

And I have no idea what's happening to me

When she laughs

I miss color in the city

Without her

On the streets of the city

It doesn't matter, no matter where, I see her

On the terraces at the Neude

By the Dom and along the canals

I don't know what it is, but this city is gorgeous too

But every time I walk through this city somewhere in May

She keeps passing by in my mind

When I walk through the streets and she's not walking next to me

It's different than before

Love, who would've thought, it's black and white

We're all alone

And she gives color to the city

And I have no idea what's happening to me

When she laughs

I miss color in the city

Without her

On the streets of the city

While I wrote this letter

I started realizing how much I love you

Juul, love is fun

But sometimes also a bit scary

It's fine that you sometimes run away

As long as you come back

I love you with all my soul

For now and forever

Thanks for being here

Doesn't matter, no matter where, I miss her

On Witte de With, the Erasmus Bridge

The Park and in Ahoy

I don't know what it is, but this city, how beautiful it is

But every time I walk through this city here in April

She's still everything I want

She adds color to the city

And I have no idea what's happening to me

When she smiles at me

She adds color to the city

Without her

She adds color to the city

Without her

She adds color to the city, she adds color

Without her

She adds color to the city

And I have no idea what's happening to me

Hey, do you have your letter, no you kid!

The letters

What are you doing?

I love you too

So much

SONG MEANING

Snelle turns a simple love letter into a city-wide kaleidoscope. In “Kleur,” he reads a heartfelt note to Julia and confesses how every Dutch street, square, and canal explodes with colour whenever she is by his side. From the Amstel in Amsterdam to Utrecht’s Dom and even the Erasmus Bridge in Rotterdam, familiar places suddenly sparkle; without her, everything feels drained to plain black and white. The lyrics leap between shy school-crush memories and grown-up wanderings, showing how love can make even the most ordinary cobblestones glow.

Beneath the playful city-hopping lies a tender truth: real affection is both exhilarating and a little scary. Snelle admits his nerves, celebrates Julia’s beauty inside and out, and pleads for her return whenever she pulls away. “Kleur” is ultimately a musical postcard that says, You aren’t just in my world—you paint it.
