-“Sous le Ciel de Paris” from the 1951 film of the same name, composed by Hubert Giraud, written by Jean Dréjac, and originally sung by Jean Bretonnière

English Translation:
“Beneath the Parisian skyA song flutters away,It was born todayIn a young man’s heartBeneath the Parisian skyLovers walk about,Their happiness builtUpon a tune made just for them Beneath the Pont de BercyThere’s a seated philosopherTwo musicians and a few onlookersAnd then people in the thousandsBeneath the Parisian skyWill sing into the eveningThe hymn of the people in loveWith their old city Near Notre DamePerhaps trouble’s brewingBut in “Paname” everything gets worked outA few raysFrom the summer skyThe accordionOf a sailorHope is blossomingIn the Parisian sky Beneath the Parisian skyA joyous river flowsThat lulls the trampsAnd beggars to sleepBeneath the Parisian skyGod’s birdsCome from around the worldTo chat among themselves The Parisian skyHas its own secretFor twenty centuries it has been in loveWith our Île Saint-LouisWhen she smiles at himHe puts on his blue suitWhen it rains over ParisIt’s because he’s sadWhen he is jealousOf her millions of loversHe unleashes upon usHis roaring thunderBut the Parisian skyIs not cruel for longSo that he may be forgivenHe offers a rainbow”

This is also dedicated to all of the awesome Butchubbles shippers out there. So, sit back, relax, and indulge in that Butchubbles loveliness.

Here we have 29-year-old Butch and his most beloved 27-year-old wife Bubbles waltzing in the air and near the top part of the Eiffel Tower accompanied by some birds. As one can tell, there is a great amount of good vibes, loveliness, and beauty not only in the skies of Paris but also between Butch and Bubbles.

I figured that the classic French song “Sous le Ciel de Paris” from the 1951 of the same name would be an amazing fit for this picture. I would love to watch this film one day, even though I mainly listened to the Édith Piaf version, which is one of the most popular ones. Surprisingly, this song was originally sung by Jean Bretonnière and it was covered by the likes of Yves Montand, Juliette Greco, Mireille Mathieu, and Zaz. So, I hope you enjoy the versions sung by Jean Bretonnière, Édith Piaf, Yves Montand, Juliette Greco, Mireille Mathieu, and Zaz, as you gaze into this piece of Butchubbles fan art and imagine them dancing a waltz to this song, and let me know in the comments below which version you prefer the most. Prenez plaisir, mes amis.
