After a remake in 2009, the grocery store Jumbo used it for its commercials and in 2017, it made it to the top 100 list.<\/p>\n<p><em>Als de Zon Schijnt<\/em>\u00a0is really what you would expect: a song about how wonderful life is with the sun! The song goes as follows:<\/p>\n<p><em>als ie boven aan de hemel staat is &#8216;t net of alles beter gaat <\/em><br \/>\n<em>alles ziet er anders uit als de zon schijnt <\/em><br \/>\n<em>iedereen komt uit z&#8217;n winterslaap door die mooie rooie koperen knaap <\/em><br \/>\n<em>alles ziet er anders uit als de zon schijnt <\/em><br \/>\n<em>niemand is zich meer van kwaad bewust, alle narigheid wordt uitgeblust <\/em><br \/>\n<em>o wat is het leven fijn als de zon schijnt <\/em><br \/>\n<em>en de allergrootste pessimist wordt een veelgevraagde humorist <\/em><br \/>\n<em>o wat is het leven fijn als de zon schijnt<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>heel de wereld is een bloemtapijt, en de buurvrouw een mooie meid <\/em><br \/>\n<em>alles ziet er anders uit als de zon schijnt <\/em><br \/>\n<em>zilveren vogels vliegen door de lucht, ieder drama wordt een dolle klucht <\/em><br \/>\n<em>alles ziet er anders uit als de zon schijnt <\/em><br \/>\n<em>alle ziekenhuizen raken leeg, en de bakkersvrouw rolt door het deeg <\/em><br \/>\n<em>o wat is het leven fijn als de zon schijnt <\/em><br \/>\n<em>ja, de wereld krijgt een nieuwe kleur, overal hangt zo&#8217;n zalig, zoete geur <\/em><br \/>\n<em>o wat is het leven fijn als de zon schijnt<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>o wat is het leven fijn als de zon schijnt <\/em><br \/>\n<em>en terrasjes zitten overvol, alle mensen raken uit hun bol <\/em><br \/>\n<em>o wat is het leven fijn in de zon <\/em><br \/>\n<em>als de zon er toch niet was geweest was er nooit een reden voor een feest <\/em><br \/>\n<em>o wat is het leven fijn als de zon schijnt<\/em><\/p>\n<p>(Lyrics found on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.songteksten.nl\/songteksten\/3398\/andre-van-duin\/als-de-zon-schijnt.htm\">songteksten.nl<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p>The vocabulary is simple and so are the sentence structures so it is easy to follow and sing along.
