Danish vintage ad

… entices us
A cycling girl becomes our dream today.

Fly out in flocks, you lovely cyclists
That which smiles and which tempts, entices us
Fly out in flocks, fly out with your partner,
The youth must have freedom every day
But remember that bike lights must be turned on at 9!

All winter you long for the sun
Now springtime embraces the dresses
As the bike bell chimes from the polished handlebars
Every girl’s heart is a promise given
One to be embraced completely by life
Springtime’s fairytale begins today

Cyclist Song by Sigfred Pedersen, 1936, translated from Danish by Mikael
