#*michelle/mikaela *the owl

[sokokoko]

I'm parodying the Miraculous Ladybug French opening to fit one of my stories because:

1. I (kinda) know French

2. what else would I do with my time?

Half of this is from my head, a minuscule amount is from the opening the rest had a bit of dictionary help

L'hibou noir, il sait mon rêve

(The black owl, he knows my dream)

Comment il fait, plutôt étrange

(How he does, [it's] rather strange)

Ça magie noire, il fait me demander

(This black magic, it makes me wonder)

Si mon rêve est dangereux

(If my dream is dangerous)

Oh, Oh, Oh,

Je suis fatiguée, oui,

(I am tired, yes,)

Oh, Oh, Oh,

Mais c'est le seule façon

(But this is the only way)

Oh, Oh, Oh,

Je peux vivre mon rêve

(I can live my dream)

De dormir

Dormir en paix, c'est quoi je veux

(To sleep in peace, it's what I want)

D'avoir un rêve qui ne finit jamais

(To have a dream which never ends)

Je vais dormir, à jamais,

(I'm going to sleep, forever,)

Avec l'aide d'un petit vœu

(With the help of a little wish)

C'est moi, l'hibou,

(It's me, the owl,)

La vérité est ici

(The truth is here)

Ceux gardiens avaient tort

(Those guardians were wrong)

Je crois que

(I believe that)

C'est nécessaire

(This is necessary)

Après le mal qu'ils nous ont fait

(After the harm they did to us)

Oh, Oh, Oh,

Un accord égal

(An equal agreement)

Oh, Oh, Oh,

Je ne veux que être libre

(I only want to be free)

Oh, Oh, Oh,

Je me demande si tu verras

(I wonder if you will see)

La vérité, dans ma vœu faux

(The truth, in my false promise)

S'il vous plaît, ouvre vos yeux

(Please, open your eyes)

Je sais c'est dur

(I know it's hard)

Croyez-le ou non

(Believe it or not)

Mon cœur n'est pas gelé

(My heart is not frozen)

Dormir en paix, c'est quoi je veux

(To sleep in peace, it's what I want)

Avoir un rêve qui ne finit jamais

(To have a dream which never ends)

Oh, Oh, Oh,

Je suis fatiguée, oui,

(I am tired, yes,)

Oh, Oh, Oh,

Mais c'est le seule façon

(But this is the only way)

Oh, Oh, Oh,

Je peux réaliser mon rêve

(I can achieve my dream)

De liberté

(Of freedom)

Un hibou noir, la vérité cachée

(A black owl, the hidden truth)

Un rêve de dormir, une fille fatiguée

(A dream to sleep, a tired girl)

Un hibou noir, et son rêve aussi

(A black owl, and his dream too)

Elle ne sait pas quoi à croire

(She doesn't know what to believe)

Un accord égal, un rêve dormir

(An equal agreement, a dream to sleep)

Elle ne sait pas quoi à faire

(She doesn't know what to do)

Un rêve de liberté, le seule façon

(A dream of freedom, the only way)

Dormir en paix, c'est quoi je veux

(To sleep in peace, it's what I want)

Vivre un rêve qui ne finit jamais

(To live a dream which never ends)

Je me bagarrerai éperdument

(I will fight desperately)

Corrections are welcome! That last line is said by both of them, hence the different style. I hope their narrative voices are distinguishable??

Can't believe I did this,,, I had other things I was supposed to be doing

But it felt good to write

Love how out of context it just seems like: damn this girl is tired & damn that bird feels kinda sketchy

He's not literally a bird but, yeah. He's sketch at first

And I did actually write a proper song for the series ("Dreamer") called "Lie Awake" with its own original tune and lyrics,, which im not publishing

Sorry if it sounds out of tune in some places but I'm literally forcing it to sit inside a Miraculous mould soo 👀

I wasn't sure if if should use "vous" or the more casual "tu" at some places because I had to think "well, are they that close?" I decided both because feeling n stuff change over time and fluctuate n stuff so, yes :} ugh that's a bad explanation. Should I change it??

Nightmare asks "I wonder if you will see" using tu and then "Please, open your eyes" using vos (vous) . Inconsistent 💯👍

FRENCH-KNOWING PPL PLEASE INTERACT,, is what I did weird?? Also wondering about when to use connaître instead of savoir, I usually always go with savoir cuz it's easier to remember how to conjugate,, I don't even need my brain for it :}

(I mean except in the futur simple but—)
