Dominique - English Translation Lyrics

Chorus
Dominique, nique nique
over the land he plods along
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
Chorus

Now a heretic, one day
Among the thorns forced him to crawl
Dominiqu' with just one prayer,
Made hi hear the good Lord's call
(To Chorus)

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

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

One day in the budding order,
There was nothing left to eat,
Suddenly two angels walked in
With a load of bread and meat
Chorus

Dominique once in his slumber
Saw the Virgin's coat unfurled
Over friars without number
Preaching all around the world
Chorus

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
Chorus
