Dominique

Dominique, nique, nique, over the land he plods
And sings a little song.
Never asking for reward,
He just talks about the Lord, He just talks about the Lord.

At a time when Johnny Lackland
Over England was the King,
Dominique was in the backland
Fighting sin like anything.

Now a heretic, one day,
Among the thorns forced him to crawl.
Dominique with just one prayer,
Made him hear the good Lord's call.

Without horse or fancy wagon,
He crossed Europe up and down.
Poverty was his companion,
As he walked from town to town.

To bring back the straying liars
And the lost sheep to the fold,
He brought forth the Preaching Friars,
Heaven's soldier's, brave and bold.

One day, in the budding Order,
There was nothing left to eat.
Suddenly two angels walked in
With a loaf of bread and meat..

Dominique once, in his slumber,
Saw the Virgin's coat unfurled
Over Frairs without number,
Preaching all around the world.

Grant us now, oh Dominique,
The grace of love and simple mirth,
That we all may help to quicken
Godly life and truth on earth.

Dominique, nique, nique s'en allait tout simplement,
Routier pauvre et chantant;
En tous chemins, en tous lieux, il ne parle que du bon Dieu,

Il ne parle que du bon Dieu.
A l'e poque ou Jean-sans-Terre de' Angleterre etait Roi,
Dominique, notre Pere, combattit les Albigeois.
Repeat first 4 lines: Chorus

Ni chameau, ni diligence il parcout l'Europe a pied,
Scandinavie ou Provence dans la sainte pauvrete.
Refrain

Enflamma de toute ecole filles et garcons pleins d'ardeur,
Et pour semer la Parole inventa les Freres-Precheurs.
Refrain

Chez Dominique et ses freres le pain s'en vint a manquer
Et deux anges se presenterent portant de grands pains dores
Refrain

Dominique vit en reve les precheurs du monde entier
Sous le manteau de la Vierge en grand nombre rassembles.
Refrain

Dominique, mon bon Pere, garde-nous simples et gais
Pour annoncer a nos freres la Vie et la Verite.
