- In 1963-4 it didn't matter to music lovers in 11 countries that they couldn't understand what Belgian nun Sister Luc-Gabrielle; Soeur Sourire, Jeannine Deckers, was singing about the founder of her order, St. Dominic. They grooved to the cheery song, one of the few foreign language number 1 hits in America. Though I studied French for many years, I didn't get more than fifty percent of it. That's why I am providing a translation with the help of the internet and my French colleague philipchek who informed me about the Albigensian heretics, the Inquisition, the Catholic Church, and St. Dominic. Dominic was a gifted 13th-century preacher who wanted no part of the church's bloody wars against heretics or the barbaric cruelty of the Inquisition. His method of conversion was preaching. He founded an order of preaching friars and convents. Miracles were ascribed to his name, The singing nun was a feminist singer/songwriter, who, after her one big hit's financial success was hounded to suicide by the Belgian tax collectors. Her other songs can be found on CZcams.
Heard this song on TikTok a lot but kept having this overwhelming feeling that I knew it from a passed life or something. Come to find out my aunt and grandma used to sing me to sleep to this song as a baby! My aunt explained that in Haitian culture it’s a popular song to sing to kids.
well that explains a lot I’m Haitian too lol
That’s wild 😂
My grandaunt a Catholic nun who used to teach in Nigeria used to listen to this song
I remembered it from my childhood in ex-Yougoslavia, and it was played on the radio many times. Lord God found a way to make it happen among the neo-pagans and marxists. :) Decades later, in Canada I told my friend, Redemptorist Father, something about St.Thomas Aquinas and he started singing "Dominika-nika, nika..." :). Here you are. :)
It is contagious, I cant get it out of my head!
"Domina-nika-nika, ..."
@@12JERICHO34 what a small world. I went to a School named after the Saint too!
Thanks for the translation, I always wondered what they were saying in the song
That's why I translate with the help of someone in Paris. I wondered too.
I have a brother named Dominic, when this came out in 63 my older sisters used to sing it to him because he was just a few years old
@@VNRose3 I don't speak French at all. Can you explain to me why Google translates the "-nique -nique" part... er,... rudely? Also, it translates "ni diligence" as "nor stagecoach," which makes more sense than "nor diligence."
I was 12 when this came out. The nuns at our Catholic school went crazy 😄
Lol 😂
LOLOL! I was 10, and my nuns went crazy too.
this is taking me out 😂😂😂😂😂
Kelly, Jeanne,
Why did the nuns go crazy at such a simple innocent song?
@@krisr.tondee7265 Because they didn't have the joy of god in their own souls.
I rediscovered this song via TikTok. My parents passed away, but before they did, they used to sing this song to me all the time. Since moving to Japan to live with some other relatives, I haven't heard it at all.
I cried a bit listening to this...
i’m sorry for your loss.
@@cassieharmon1248 Thank you :) I'm feeling a lot better now.
This song was popular in the weeks following the Kennedy assassination, when there was otherwise a dark mood across the western world. Soeur Sourire's appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show in early Jan. 1964 kept the song popular until The Beatles appeared on the show in Feb. of that year. She also sang (Flemish) Dutch and German versions of Dominique, but they do not flow quite as well as the French version does. Although most people who heard the French version did not understand the words (I understand most of them because I learned French in high school and university), the song was used by many French teachers in the US and Canada as one way of teaching the language. (Edith Piaf's songs were also used as part of French instruction in US and Canadian schools.)
I remember the mood after the JFK assassination and you are correct. This did help an otherwise grieving nation. One of the few bright spots we had in those early months of '64
Ty for putting context. I totally had a mind wipe regarding this song. But , your comments are so helpful regarding this song and it's sad historical context.
I loved this song as a child, it was always playing in the radio in the early 60's. I decided to research her life. The Singer of this song took her own life at only 51, when she was left in poverty, all the money and profits she would have made, were ROBBED from her by unscrupulous people. When you listen to this joyful song please think of her.
Puisse votre âme trouver la paix pour l'injustice qui vous a été faite Jeanne-Paule Marie "Jeannine" Deckers.
That's so tragic
Es cierto...l vida fue injusta con l autora de esta joya de l música popular.
I speak no French but I know the words almost syllable perfect after practising it thousands of times learning it entirely phonetically while driving (my job) to pass the time. Surprised how close I am to the actual words watching this🤣. Wouldn't recommend it as a way to learn French though🤣🤣
For some reason, this tune popped up in my head. I knew it was from my childhood, but I had no way of putting my finger on where it came from. Then I was watching a CZcams video of all the #1 hits from the 60's and this tune came up. Ha! Mystery solved! I'm so thankful for your translation and it has such special meaning for me now. God bless the Dominican Sisters! Thank you!
If you want to find an unknown song take some words from the lyrics and do a Google search. Then find the song on CZcams. Glad to be of help!
@@VNRose3 I only knew the melody, not the lyrics. But here's the weird thing. I discovered the source of the melody while watching "Most Popular Song Each Month in the 60s" here on CZcams and "Dominique" of course came up for December 1963. That was Sunday, this week and that would have been Sister Luc-Gabrielle's 88th birthday. Coincidence?
It is so soothing listening to these beautiful nuns singing this song, there voices are so good and I love to hear them singing in French, what a beautiful language I only wish I could speak French ❤
Nun. Jeanine Deckers sang the song. She left the order before taking her final vows. She and a friend committed suicide.
Hey, that's actually not a scary nor a horror song, this song is a song is for saint Dominic de Guzman, am I right?
Yes indeed its a church song
Yes. They sang this song in church when I was young in catholic school.
funni song🗿
There was a slight mention of the Albegensian/Cathar crusade/genocide..but yeah, not going to to those specific details.
@@daddyleon
Why do you call it "slight" ?
This was one of the great horrors of french history!
They were slain and burned on the stake.
This Dominique surely was a nasty fellow.
Oh Jeenie, you make me motivated about my Français even more. 🤣🏆😥🥰
Having my name Dominique, unware of this song till my lovely PE teacher from as a child use to sing it too me every time she saw me at school I never knew why or if she just made it up, till I asked her one day she told me the story behind it. Was actually lovely to be honest as she always brought a smile to my little face 🥰
Aujourd'hui je me suis réveillé avec cette si belle chanson- canon de mon enfance . J'avais 14 ans a peine ...J'ai pleuré une bonne partie de la journée et mardi prochain je la chanterai en espagnol a l'Eglise du quartier . La saint Dominique c'est effectivement le 8 aout...
I got to a Catholic university and I'm so tempted to ask the older nuns if they remember this song and tell them how it's been used in recent years. See them have a heart attack on the spot after telling them it's used in American Horror Story and all over Tiktok for some less than savory story telling. 😂
Everybody of a certain age knows this song. Hopefully the sisters will laugh and forgive.
@@VNRose3 They will either beat you mercilessly, or convert you with their simple faith.😊
Who else loved this song from American Horror Story and was reminded of how much they love it from Jeenie Weenie? 💕
If I would watch such crap, I would at least keep quiet.
@@user-yp2mw2ko9k if I was feeling like saying something so unnecessarily rude, I would at least keep quiet, but it seems like we live our lives very differently 😅🤣 have fun being bitter in your life hating on things others like and I'll continue doing what makes me happy and supporting others in what they like to do even if I don't like that particular thing because life is more interesting when people have different likes and interests 🥰
So again, have fun with your bitter life because it must be so fun hating on things that literally affects your life 0% 👋🫡🤣
American Horror Story Asylum Mood
YUUUP
Yep
🙄
That’s why I’m here I forgot this song existed but I recently watched asylum and had to figure out the translation
tik tok songs slap, and i love that the translation was here. I'm glad that i knew that dominique was a name, i would have never found this
Uhhhh it’s from american horror story not tiktok
@@OsamaGhezlan NO THIS IS A SONG ABOUT SAINT DOMINIQUE A CATHOLIC SAINT
@@OsamaGhezlan ur dumb. People can use a song anywhere
First heard Dominique by the Singing Nuns on transister radio in 1963 and fell in love with the song since.
The background to the song is almost as intriguing as the song itself. I had no idea! Merci bien!
My French teacher used to love this song and was always singing it and fair play to her she knew all the words could play the guitar and had a great voice too.
I'm 65 and I remember this song so affectionately. Even though I kinda speak French there were words I didn't know so a big THANK YOU for making this video! 💖💗💞
Beautiful song. Thanks for the English translation.
Thank you for uploading this song. I'm 64 yrs old and writing from Manus Province in Papua New Guinea 🇵🇬 My parents are Catholic and my mum & her sisters sing along when it's played on ABC radio station in the 70's. ❤️ it
Remember hearing this on the radio in the UK many years ago.
BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS SONG FOR AGES
This song, by itself is so GREAT!!!, that I have no real comments to write in English...
Dominique!
---Lee
i grew up on this song and i still don't know it word for word but i know the melody lol
Now you can learn the words, understand them and sing along.
VNRose3 that's right!

I was a teenager when this was popular. I had no idea what it was about until just now.
Thank you for the English! I read & speak French but I can't understand French people speaking French because of the heavy accent. I always wondered how this single even charted in the US, aside from the catchy melody.
most of us don't get enough experience with conversational French. I'm lost by it too.
@@VNRose3 I studied German (Deutsche) for four years, one year (1972-73) in junior high school and three years (1973-76) in high school, and am still not fluent in that language.
Likewise, I studied Spanish in college two years (1976-78), also no fluency in the language.
I came to the conclusion long ago one must really speak, hear and read a language every day with others who also speak the language to actually attain fluency.
Learning a language from a foreign language teacher, in a classroom with with textbooks and with headphones in a so-called "language lab," may be helpful, but not a guarantee of total success. It is the total more complete immersion in a language which results in fluency.
And it sure does help if one is raised in a bilingual or multilingual home, with family members who also speak and read the language of a foreign tongue. Also, of course, visiting and living in the foreign country where that language is spoken will result in greater immersion in the foreign language.
"Bis später Alligator!" (Deutsche)
und/y
"Después de un rato cocodrilo!" (Español)
English translation of above:
"See you later alligator!" (German)
and
"After a while, crocodile!" (Spanish)
My older sisters had the 45 record. I have heard it a lot without knowing the translation.
"On this day in ’85, the Singing Nun (Marie Jeanine Deckers) took her own life in a suicide pact with her life-partner, Annie Pecher. Her song, the 1963 smash 'Dominique', sold over 1.5 million copies, winning a Grammy Award for Best Gospel Song. As a kid, I remember Deckers and her 3 fellow nuns appearing on Ed Sullivan… The song was such a cultural phenom that a (mostly fictional) feel-good movie was made of her life with Debbie Reynolds, and Sally Fields' ‘The Flying Nun’ was definitely influenced by Decker’s popularity. Deckers was a Belgian singer-songwriter and a member of the Dominican Order as Sister Luc Gabriel. An unlikely pop star, she wrote 4 albums of songs - many that were lyrically either ‘approved’ or ‘censored’ by her Mother Superior. She was not allowed to write any songs that were considered ‘sad’ and, of course, any topic that was controversial was forbidden. When she wrote a song in 1967 defending the use of contraception, the Church pressured her touring mngmnt to cancel an entire tour even tho’ she’d left the order by then. Though the royalty agreement between the Church and Deckers was never disclosed, apparently her diocese received her royalties w/o her knowledge… and later, when she left the order, she discovered $100,000. had been paid to the Church unbeknownst to her. To make matters worse, her label, Philips, pretty much took the rest - leaving her financially crippled. Though Deckers never ‘came out’ about her sexuality, she spent most of her life with her lover, Annie Pecher, and struggling with financial ruin, Church condemnation, a faltering career, and repression from society in general… Deckers suffered a mental breakdown. Shortly afterwards, she and Pecher took their own lives in their Belgian apartment. For those who discount the damage religion has done for centuries to gay and lesbian people… to those who are, right now, passing legislation to forbid young people from discussing sexuality or even saying the word, ‘gay’… I say, ‘f you’. To those (religious or not) who support with words and deeds the acceptance of the LGBT community… I say, 'thanks', and may whatever god you worship bless and keep you.
I too learned it at a Catholic school and could sing it in French.
i grew up listening to this song.
I remember this song being played on the radio when I was a teenager
Berlari
Hanya satu tekadku: berlari ke sasaran, 'tuk dapat pahala; Melupakan yang silam, menganggap semua rugi, hanya Dia mustika.
Buang semua pri sampah, menuntut tanpa lengah, Agar dapat kenal Kristus yang bangkit.
Walau d'rita mengepung, membuat tawar hatiku, ku tetap percaya; Baik hidup atau mati, ku dapat menanggungnya, hingga Dia ternyatakan.
Suplemen 421-Berlari
The high school I studied in was built in honor of St. Dominic or Santo Domingo as we term him here in Manila. Proud to have come from such a great school built in honor of a true brawler of the church. Hehe. I jest.
This is great! I have loved this song since it first came out! I love this parallel translation. Helps me with my limited french...
Heard this as a child when it came out said I would name my daughter this name and I did lol
I heard this song on tik tok,and i it stayed in my head,its almost as if i knew this song from LONG TIME,i am muslim so my family obviously did not sing it for me,but i feel like i know sinse i was like really really small
Maybe God is trying to get your attention?
Surely you heard it somewhere when you were very small. Maybe someone had a radio on. Your young mind banked it for future delight.
I don't know but I like this song
Beautiful song!

"Et deux anges se presenterent portant deux grands pains dorés ..."

LOVELY, HAD HEARD THIS SONG IN 1970 S FOR FRENCH CAMPFIRE OF SCHOOL. HAS 2ND STANZA TOO. DOMINIQUE DOMINIQUE NOTRE PERE COMBATIN LE ALBEJUA,,, SORRY IF WRONG

Ya betul, sebenarnya maknanya mulia.
Love this

Dominika-piknik
Semua hilang begitu saja
Jalan yang buruk dan bernyanyi
Di semua jalan, di semua tempat
Dia hanya berbicara tentang Tuhan yang baik
Dia hanya berbicara tentang Tuhan yang baik
Pada saat itulah Jean Sans Terre
Inggris adalah raja
Dominic, Bapa kami
Memerangi Albigenses
Dominika-piknik
Semua hilang begitu saja
Jalan yang buruk dan bernyanyi
Di semua jalan, di semua tempat
Dia hanya berbicara tentang Tuhan yang baik
Dia hanya berbicara tentang Tuhan yang baik
Hari tertentu sesat
Melalui semak duri menuntunnya
Tapi Bapa kita, Dominic
Dengan kegembiraannya mengubah dia
Dominika-piknik
Semua hilang begitu saja
Jalan yang buruk dan bernyanyi
Di semua jalan, di semua tempat
Dia hanya berbicara tentang Tuhan yang baik
Dia hanya berbicara tentang Tuhan yang baik, baik unta maupun ketekunan
Dia melakukan perjalanan Eropa dengan berjalan kaki
Skandinavia atau Provence
Dalam kemiskinan suci
Dominika-piknik
Semua hilang begitu saja
Jalan yang buruk dan bernyanyi
Di semua jalan, di semua tempat
Dia hanya berbicara tentang Tuhan yang baik
Dia hanya berbicara tentang Tuhan yang baik
Enflamma semua sekolah
Anak laki-laki dan perempuan yang bergairah
Dan untuk menyebarkan berita
Inventá the Preachers Brother
Dominika-piknik
Semua hilang begitu saja
Jalan yang buruk dan bernyanyi
Di semua jalan, di semua tempat
Dia hanya berbicara tentang Tuhan yang baik
Dia hanya berbicara tentang Tuhan yang baik
Di Dominique dan saudara-saudaranya
Roti habis
Dan dua malaikat maju ke depan
Membawa dua roti emas besar dominique-nique
Semua hilang begitu saja
Jalan yang buruk dan bernyanyi
Di semua jalan, di semua tempat
Dia hanya berbicara tentang Tuhan yang baik
Dia hanya berbicara tentang Tuhan yang baik
Dominique hidup dalam mimpi
Pengkhotbah di seluruh dunia
Di bawah mantel Perawan
Dalam jumlah besar berkumpul
Dominika-piknik
Semua hilang begitu saja
Jalan yang buruk dan bernyanyi
Di semua jalan, di semua tempat
Dia hanya berbicara tentang Tuhan yang baik
Dia hanya berbicara tentang Tuhan yang baik
Dominique, Ayahku yang baik
Buat kami tetap sederhana dan ceria
Untuk mengumumkan kepada saudara-saudara kita
Hidup dan Kebenaran
Dominika-piknik
Semua hilang begitu saja
Jalan yang buruk dan bernyanyi
Di semua jalan, di semua tempat
Dia hanya berbicara tentang Tuhan yang baik
Dia hanya berbicara tentang Tuhan yang baik

I tried to search gemini song tiktok on google and I got some strange songs...and i gave up and hum it on forced-installed-soundhound just for this song.
Oh my god this is so funnyyy 😂😂😂
Correction: at 1.0l "dilligence" should have transated "stagecoach" instead of the cognate "dilligence."
What a lovely video to promote vocations to this order next to the one called 'Laudare, Benedicere, Praedicare'.
"fought the Albigensians," i.e., Cathars. It felt uneasy, because "fighting heretics" often meant killing them by large numbers.
Ashadualaillaha ilaAllah. Waashadu Anna MuhammaddarasulAllah.
"bon Dieu" is better translated "The good God". In French, "Bon Dieu" is used as a name
"LeBon dieu" in France refers to "God full of goodness" in the s ame way the Anglophones refer to"God Almighty"

IL ne faut pas comprendre tout por sentir les chasing au fond du coeur

That accented "ou" for "when" has completely thrown me, I thought it was "au" but it isn't.

Lyrics
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
À l'époque ou Jean-sans-Terre
D'Angleterre était le roi
Dominique, notre père,
Combattit les Albigeois.
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
Certain jour, un hérétique,
Par des ronces le conduit,
Mais notre père Dominique,
Par sa joie le convertit.
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
Ni chameau, ni diligence,
Il parcout l'Europe à pied
Scandinavie ou Provence
Dans la sainte pauvreté.
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
Enflamma de toute école
Filles et garçons pleins d'ardeur
Et pour semer la Parole
Inventa les Frères-Prêcheurs.
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
Chez Dominique et ses frères
Le pain s'en vint à manquer
Et deux anges se présentèrent
Portant de grands pains dorés.
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
Dominique vit en rêve
Les prêcheurs du monde entier
Sous le manteau de la Vierge
En grand nombre rassemblés.
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
Dominique, mon bon père,
Garde-nous simples et gais
Pour annoncer à nos frères
La Vie et la Verité
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
Must listen to koplo version and enjoyed
