inventa les Freres-Precheurs |
|
|
|
|
Chez Dominique et Ses Frères |
|
le pain s'en vint a manquer |
|
Et deux anges se presenterent |
|
portant de grands pains dores |
|
|
|
|
|
les precheurs du monde entier |
|
Sous le manteau de la Vierge |
|
en grand nombre rassembles |
|
|
|
|
|
garde-nous simples et gais |
|
Pour annoncer a nos freres |

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 |
|
|
|
And sings a little song ... |
|
|
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 |
|
|
|
And sings a little song ... |
|
|
Without horse or fancy wagon He crossed Europe up and down |
|
Poverty was his companion As he walked from town to town |
|
|
|
And sings a little song ... |
|
|
To bring back the straying liars And the lost sheep to the fold |
|
He brought forth the Preaching FriarsHeaven's soldier's, brave and bold |
|
|
|
And sings a little song ... |
|
|
One day, in the budding Order There was nothing left to eat |
|
Suddenly two angels walked in With a loaf of bread and meat |
|
|
|
And sings a little song ... |
|
|
Dominique once, in his slumber Saw the Virgin's coat unfurled |
|
Over Frairs without number Preaching all around the world |
|
|
|
And sings a little song ... |
|
|
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 |
|
|
|
And sings a little song ... |
