Les Bicyclettes De Belsize
Engelbert Humperdinck Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The world goes on.
We can't change it, my friend.
Let us go riding all through the days,
Together to the end, to the end.
Les bicyclettes de Belsize
Carry us side by side
Over Belsize.
Turn your magical eyes.
Round and around,
Looking at all we found.
Carry us through the skies,
Les bicyclettes de Belsize.
Spinning and spinning,
The dreams I know,
Rolling on through my head.
Let us enjoy them, before they go.
Come the dawn, they all are dead.
Yes, they're dead.
Les bicyclettes de Belsize
Carry us side by side
And hand in hand we will ride
Over Belsize.
Turn your magical eyes.
Round and around,
Looking at all we found.
Carry us through the skies,
Les bicyclettes de Belsize.
The first stanza of Engelbert Humperdinck's Les Bicyclettes De Belsize acknowledges the immutability of life, stating that the world continues to turn despite our efforts to change it. While we may not be able to control the world around us, we can enjoy our days through shared experiences with loved ones. The lyrics suggest that the only way to truly make the most of our limited time on earth is to do so together, until the very end.

Carry us side by side
Let's ride the bikes next to each other
And hand in hand we will ride,
We'll hold hands while we ride
Over Belsize.
We'll ride over the streets of Belsize
Turn your magical eyes.
Look at the world with wonder and amazement
Round and around,
The world keeps spinning and changing
Looking at all we found.
Let's appreciate everything we discover on our journey
Carry us through the skies,
Let's feel like we're flying as we ride
Spinning and spinning,

Rolling on through my head.
Continuously playing in my thoughts
Let us enjoy them, before they go.
Let's appreciate our dreams and aspirations before they fade away
Come the dawn, they all are dead.
Dreams often fade away when faced with reality

There can only ever be one Engelbert, top star, magnificent singer !
@terryrandall3448
Not a note in his singing was ever missed. So smooth and beautiful every song he did. Never a voice like this. Engel is hundreds of times better than even Sinatra and any of those big guys they ever made a lot about. I don’t think there’s anybody’s voice out there that can carry a tune with the smoothness and the elegance that Engelbert has. Again thank you for many years of your beautiful music

Humps had much better pipes than Frankie did, but Frankie could craft a song like no other.
