Dominique French Lyrics & English Translation

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

Saint Dominic
Went about simply
A poor singing traveler
On every road, in every place
He only speaks of Good God
He only speaks of Good God

À l’époque où Jean Sans Terre
D’Angleterre était le roi
Dominique notre père, combattit les albigeois

At the time when Johnny Lackland
From England was king
Our father Dominique was fighting the Albigensians
