Le Velo Pour Deux
The Brobecks Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Vampires never have to complain,
Of living a dull circumstance.
So let's all pretend that we are undead,
In turn of the century France.
I want the love on your wrist,
And it would be fine,
To spend my whole life,
With you, together.
Parlez vous, or something like that.
Le velo pour deux or something like that,
And that's what I'll say to get you to ride away with me.
Oh!
Oh, it would be fine to spend my whole life,
With you, on a bicycle built for two.
Ahhh, ahhh, whoah, oh, oh!
Ahhh, ahhh, whoah, oh, oh!
Oh it would be so oh fine to spend my whole life,
With you, on a bicycle built for two.
The Brobecks's song "Le Velo Pour Deux" is a whimsical and romantic take on the idea of immortality. The singer of the song imagines himself and his love as vampires, who never have to worry about the monotony of life. They can experience the turn of the century France together, as if it were the first time. The singer is dreaming of spending his whole life with his love, and the idea of a bicycle built for two becomes a symbol of their love and togetherness.
The lyrics are playful and filled with romance. The singer wants to be near his love, and he's not afraid to show it. He wants the heart on her neck and the love on her wrist. The imagery of a bicycle built for two is a perfect metaphor for his ideal relationship. Two people pedaling together towards a common destination, one in front of the other, with a shared sense of adventure and joy.
Overall, "Le Velo Pour Deux" is a charming and heartwarming song about love and eternal relationships. It's timely and timeless, capturing the essence of romance in just a few sweet lyrics.

Let me have access to the center of your emotions and feelings, which is represented by the necklace on your neck.

Together, on a bike made for us to share for eternity.
