Dominica...Nica...Nica

Some more words that I don't know

Some more words I don't know

And some more words I don't know

And some more words I don't know

And some more words I don't know

butch dykes front and center

my dad had an album of carmelite nuns singing this.

i suppose this response should be cross-referenced to the “underwhelmed” thread.

Love the One You're With -- When the something something something and the eagle flies with the dove, something something something love the one you're with

I could have sworn that the lyrics were "Dominique, nique, nique.... "

r4 They are. OP doesn't even know the words he thinks he knows.

I guess these would be the 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

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

Refrain

OP was R6 and R7 the point of your post? Or were you looking for something else?

Sarasponda, sarasponda, sarasponda ret set set Sarasponda, sarasponda, sarasponda ret set set A doray-oh, A doray-boomday-oh A doray-boomday ret set set Ah say pah say oh.

As English is my first language, I assumed Dominique was a woman's name. Wiki says it's actually about St. Dominic, the founder of the Dominican order. I like the song even though I'm not into its religious message.

Dominique is a man's name in French, but is often misused as a female name in the US. See Diahann Carroll in "Dynasty."

She and her lesbian lover killed themselves, I believe.

THE SINGING NUN starring Debbie Reynolds, with Greer Garson, Agnes Moorehead, Juanita Moore and Katharine Ross as the other nuns. Why isn’t the biopic a DL fave?

English lyrics are better

I have the album on vinyl (two copies). All the songs are beautiful.

I thought it was do-min-I-CAH

They’re the bride of Christ, R13.

They’re polyamorous penguins. AND, they’re 2nd to nun...

Duh 🙄

This song and AHS: Asylum are synonymous to me, so now I can't hear this song without picturing a naked, manhandled Evan Peters and his hot ass being deloused.

There's a difference between spoken and sung French. When singing, a silent final "e" is often pronounced as a schwa. In spoken French, Frère Jacques is pronounced with an "r" and a "k" sound at the end, but in the song you add on an "e" like that in the French word "le". The same with Do-mee-nee-ke. The final syllable is like the French word "que".

So why celebrate genocide against the Albigensians/Cathars? What a bloody minded whore!

This would make a good trivia question. Which pop song references King John of England (nicknamed Lackland) a.k.a Jean Sans Terre.

I thought it would be easy to google the answer, R23, but I guess not.

So, the nun sings, but can she fly?

Please tell us the answer, R23.

We had this album when I was a kid. At one point I could sing the song karaoke style.

[quote]She and her lesbian lover killed themselves, I believe.

She was lesbionic? Is that why Debbie Reynolds played her in the (highly fictionalized) movie?

At my first office job In the late 80s, a slightly older coworker referenced this song but I’d never heard it. She mentioned that she thought the nun killed her girlfriend (she hadn’t, they committed suicide together) but the only way to find out, since there was no internet then, was to call the reference desk at the NY Public Library, who answered such questions back then. We also called once to see if John Gielgud was dead, haha!

I first heard her it on The Simpsons episode where Milhouse visits his girlfriend at the convent school. After finding the recording at R7, I've been playing it constantly. You can practice your French pronunciation by following the lyrics at R6, although there seems to be a verse missing.

Looks like it. Check out the "Relationship with Annie Pécher" section.

Looks a bit like Billie Jean King in the top photo.
