Whose Garden Was This

John Denver

Transposer:

Whose garden was this It must have been lovely Did it have flowers I've seen pictures of flowers And I'd love to have smelled one Whose river was this You say it ran freely Blue was its color I've seen blue in some pictures And I'd love to have been there Tell me again I need to know The forest had trees the meadows were green The oceans were blue and birds really flew Can you swear That its true Whose gray sky was this Or was it a blue one You say there were breezes I've heard records of breezes And I'd love to have felt one Tell me again I need to know The forest had trees the meadows were green The oceans were blue and birds really flew Can you swear That its true Whose garden was this It must have been lovely Did it have flowers I've seen pictures of flowers And I'd love to have smelled one Tell me again I need to know Tell me again I need to know Tell me again I need to know Tell me again I need to know

La chanson évoque un jardin magnifique dont le narrateur se souvient avec nostalgie, en se demandant à quoi il ressemblait et s'il était plein de fleurs parfumées. Elle décrit aussi un cours d'eau aux couleurs vives, des forêts verdoyantes et des cieux qui pourraient être gris ou bleus, tout en exprimant un désir profond de revivre ces moments. Les images de paysages naturels et la quête de vérité sur leur beauté passent par des interrogations répétées, soulignant une connexion avec la nature et un besoin de réminiscences. Le contexte de cette chanson semble tourner autour de la mémoire et de la contemplation d'un monde passé, où la beauté naturelle était florissante. C'est une réflexion sur ce qui a été perdu, mais aussi une célébration de ce qui a pu exister, en cherchant à ressentir de nouveau cette magie et cette simplicité.
