Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Het was zomer en ik kende haar maar pas
Ze wou wel even met me op vakantie
Maar alleen als het naar Blankenberge was
Ik zei ′schat wat valt daar nu te beleven'
′T Is vast nog fakker in Maaseik of Deurne Zuid
Toen zei ze 'makker luister nu eens even'We gaan naar Blankenberge of ik maak het uit
Blankenberge Blankenberge wonderschone stad
Ik wou dat ik in m′n achtertuin zo′n Blankenberge had
Blankenberge Blankenberge parel aan de kust
De mooiste plek op aarde voor wie zand met schelpjes lust
Ik hield van Nancy wij dus voor drie weken
Naar Blankenberge dik tegen m'n zin
We reden ′s avonds langs de discotheken
Met zo'n trapautootje ik met m′n vriendin
We hebben uren op het strand gelegen
'K Smeerde haar in met zonne olie faktor vier
Wat wel eens kietelde daar kon ze dan niet tegen
′T Was tof in Blankenberge we hadden veel plezier
Blankenberge Blankenberge 't was er echt enorm
Het weer was altijd schitterend en Nancy was in form
Blankenberge Blankenberge ge had ons moeten zien
Ik was daar in The King en mijn Nancy was de Queen
Ijs met nootjes vissersbootjes zwemmen in de zee
Duizend dikke Duitsers zwommen vrolijk met ons mee
'S Avonds nog wat cocktails en daarna hup in de tent
Ja ja die Nancy heeft mij die drie weken meer dan flink verwend
Blankenberge Blankenberge ′k droom er soms nog van
Blankenberge paradijs hier staat je grootste fan
Blankenberge Blankenberge oh waar is de tijd
Ik ben nu tien jaar ouder en die Nancy ben ik kwijt
Die Nancy ben ik kwijt
The lyrics of "Blankenberge" by Hugo Matthysen & De Bomen tell the story of the singer's experience with his girlfriend Nancy and their trip to the seaside town of Blankenberge. At the beginning of the song, Nancy suggests going on vacation to Blankenberge, but the singer initially questions the choice, wondering what is so special about the place compared to other locations like Maaseik or Deurne Zuid. However, Nancy insists on going to Blankenberge or else she'll end the relationship, showing her strong attachment to the place.
As the narrative progresses, the couple goes to Blankenberge for three weeks, despite the singer's initial reluctance. They spend time together on the beach, with the singer expressing his love for Nancy even though he was not fully onboard with the trip. They enjoy the sunny weather, lounging on the sand and partaking in typical beach activities like applying sunscreen and taking walks along the shore in a little pedal car.
The lyrics paint a whimsical picture of Blankenberge as a picturesque and charming destination, with references to the pleasant weather, beachfront attractions, and the couple's shared experiences during their stay. The singer describes the town as a magical place where he and Nancy had a lot of fun, with fond memories of dining on ice cream, swimming in the sea surrounded by cheerful German tourists, and enjoying cocktails before retiring to their tent for the night.
Towards the end of the song, the nostalgic tone becomes apparent as the singer reflects on the time spent in Blankenberge with Nancy. He recalls the joyous moments they shared, the carefree atmosphere, and the deep connection they had during their holiday. However, as the song concludes, there is a sense of sadness as the singer reveals that he has lost touch with Nancy over the years, emphasizing the transient nature of relationships and nostalgia for a past that can never be fully recaptured. The lyrics capture the bittersweet nostalgia of looking back on a once-beloved time and place that now exists only in memory.

Ik had eens een vriendin zij heette Nancy
I once had a girlfriend named Nancy
Het was zomer en ik kende haar maar pas
It was summer and I had only just met her
Ze wou wel even met me op vakantie
She wanted to go on vacation with me
Maar alleen als het naar Blankenberge was
But only if it was to Blankenberge
Ik zei ′schat wat valt daar nu te beleven'
I said 'honey, what is there to do there'
Toen zei ze 'makker luister nu eens even'
Then she said 'buddy, listen to me'
We gaan naar Blankenberge of ik maak het uit
We are going to Blankenberge or I will break up with you
Blankenberge Blankenberge wonderschone stad
Blankenberge, beautiful city
Ik wou dat ik in m′n achtertuin zo′n Blankenberge had
I wish I had a Blankenberge in my backyard
De mooiste plek op aarde voor wie zand met schelpjes lust
The most beautiful place on earth for those who enjoy sand and seashells
We hebben uren op het strand gelegen
We spent hours lying on the beach

I applied factor four sunscreen on her
Blankenberge Blankenberge 't was er echt enorm
Blankenberge, it was truly amazing

I was there at The King and my Nancy was the Queen
Ja ja die Nancy heeft mij die drie weken meer dan flink verwend
Yes, Nancy spoiled me more than enough those three weeks

Blankenberge, oh where has the time gone
Ik ben nu tien jaar ouder en die Nancy ben ik kwijt
I am ten years older now and I have lost that Nancy
