My French is not very good but doesn't the word Blonde, in this context, mean girlfriend? NorthernThunder 21:43, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
This is the point that's interesting me. We're forced to imagine a male singer - probably a French soldier held captive in Holland - who is himself imagining the thoughts of his girlfriend - whose father has the gardens, etc. The prettiness of the ideas, which are happy and girlish, are then part of his nostalgic fantasy.

Hmm, that's an interesting interpretation. I've been trying to work out the viewpoint of the song, myself, with mixed results at best. I had come up with the theory that the POV of the song kept flipping back and forth between the young woman, pining for her captive husband, and her beau, pining for his lost love. It's a bit jarring, but I can imagine it filmed with cuts between the two characters, like "Goodnight, My Someone" from The Music Man. But I'm not sure, and your interpretation is intriguing. --DavidConrad 18:19, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
