You're actually both wrong, this song according to Bobby Whitlock (pianist, guitarist and vocals on album) this is a song about a woman that Clapton had a short lived fling with during these sessions. The woman didn't speak English and the affair didn't last long, but it is about her nonetheless. And another thing, Whitlock wrote more on this song than Clapton himself did. Hope I didn't ruin anything for anyone.
