"Le ciel bleu sur nous peut s’effondrer
Et la terre peut bien s’écrouler,
Peu m’importe si tu m’aimes,
Je me fous du monde entier.
Tant que l’amour inondera mes matins,
Tant que mon corps frémira sous tes mains,
Peu m’importent les problèmes,
Mon amour puisque tu m’aimes.
J’irais jusqu’au bout du monde,
Je me ferais teindre en blonde,
Si tu me le demandais.
J’irais décrocher la lune,
J’irais voler la fortune,
Si tu me le demandais.
Je renierais ma patrie,
Je renierais mes amis,
Si tu me le demandais.
On peut bien rire de moi,
Je ferais n’importe quoi
Si tu me le demandais.
Si un jour la vie t’arrache à moi,
Si tu meurs que tu sois loin de moi,
Peu m'importe si tu m’aimes
Car moi je mourrai aussi.
Nous aurons pour nous l’éternité,
Dans le bleu de toute l’immensité.
Dans le ciel, plus de problèmes.
Mon amour crois-tu qu’on s’aime ?
Dieu réunit ceux qui s’aiment."
-Hymne à L'Amour, Edith Piaf, Music by Marguerite Monnot, First Performed at the Cabaret Versaille on September 28, 1949, First Recorded on May 2, 1950
English Translation:
"The blue sky onto us can collapse
and the earth can fall down
It doesn't matter if you love me
I don't care about the whole world.
As long as love floods my mornings
As long as my body trembles under your hands
I don't mind the problems
My love, since you love me
I'd go to the world's edge
I'd dye my hair blond
If you asked me
I'd take down the moon
I'd steal wealth
If you asked me
I'd abnegate my homeland
I'd abnegate my friends
If you asked me
I can be laughed off
I'd do anything
If you asked me
If one day, life tears you away from me
if you die, being away from me
It doesn't matter if you love me
Because I'd die as well.
We'd own eternity
Within the blue of whole hugeness
In the sky, no problem anymore
My love do you believe we love each other?
God brings together those who love one another."
This piece of Robike fanart, which is part of my dearest friend's Kaitlyn's aka KatyGorl's Claim a PPG Pairing Month, is dedicated to the ever fabulous, ever wonderful KatyGorl and the magnificent and astounding Lynn aka NanakoBlaze who are celebrating their birthdays today. So, Kaitlyn, Lynn, I wish you lovely young ladies a most pleasant, wonderful, joyous, grand, and prosperous birthday. You are amazing artists and people and I bless the both of you in everything you do. Comme on dit en francais, je vous souhaite un anniversaire plus agréable, merveilleux, joyeux, grand et prospère. Vous etes artistes et personnages trés magnifiques et je vous deux bénis dans tout vous faites. I would also love to dedicate this to all of the wonderful Robike shippers out there. Asseyez-vous, relaxez et prenez plaisir, mes cheres amis et camarades de le shipping de Mike Believe x Robin Snyder ou Robike.
It should be no surprise that out of all of the Powerpuff Girls-related pairings that I have been a most loyal Mike Believe x Robin Snyder or Robike shipper and fan when I was fifteen years old. I was pleasantly surprised when I first saw this pairing on DeviantArt and I was wonderfully amazed by the works involving these two darlings as a couple. Now, as an adult of twenty-six years old, this pairing holds up wonderfully to this very day. I would even go out of my way to say that Robike has held up much better than Boomubbles and is even on par with my most favorite RRB/PPG pairing of all time, which is truly saying something.
So, Mesdames et Messieurs, here we have Mike Believe and Robin Snyder-Believe being the absolutely adorable lovebirds that they are. For those of you who do not understand French or are neither Francophiles nor Francophones in the slightest, Mike's shirt is loosely translated as "Robin is my very blissful seraph", while Robin's shirt is translated as "Mike is my very handsome archangel". C'est l'amour vrai entre les deux ames gentiles et douces. That's French for, this is true love between two gentle and sweet souls. Moreover, if you could not already tell, Mike and Robin are happily married with three children in my Team Xtreme headcanon and they function as their closest friends and allies in everything the likes of Brick, Butch, Mitch, Boomer, Blossom, Buttercup, Bubbles, and Bunny are doing as Townsville's and Citysville's finest superheroes of all time.
Given that I am a veteran Robike shipper, I figured that the Édith Piaf classic Hymne á L'Amour would be an excellent choice for this exceptional couple. I can never ever go wrong with the original Madame Édith Piaf version, but I also love Josh Groban's calmer more reflective version of the song. So, Kaitlyn, Lynn, and all of you exceptional Robike shippers, you are all in for a treat. You get to listen to two versions of Hymne á L'Amour and I would love to know in the comments below which of these two you prefer. Je vous souhaite une bonne écoute, chers amis.
Édith Piaf
Josh Groban
I hope you all enjoyed this and as we say in French, a tout a l'heure, mes amis.
Mike Believe and Robin Snyder from The Powerpuff Girls belong to Craig McCracken and Cartoon Network.
