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
 Refrain
