message: Je me suis bien marré en lisant ce qui suit The lyric nique in French is an obscenity for coitus and the song was (and still is) virtually unknown in France car c'est écrit comme un véritable conte de fées ;-))) En fait, le mot nique n'est apparu en français qu'une vingtaine d'années plus tard lorsque l'on a cherché à rendre le très élégant mother-fucker... Enfin, cette chanson soi-disant virtually unknown in France y était en fait très populaire, notamment dans les milieux proches du scoutisme. En revanche, on aurait pu écrire un article analogue et surtout véridique pour les Sucettes que Gainsbourg a fait chanter à Chantal Goya. 82.224.88.52 12:52, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)

message: but now it is used as a female's name
Actually Dominic, the way you've spelled it, is still a man's name.  According to the Wikpedia article on St. Dominic, he had several names, most of them starting with Dominic but at least one starting with Domingo, the Spanish version of the name.
It's true that at least in America, the French version, Dominique, is now a woman's name.35.129.66.46 (talk) 06:45, 29 March 2019 (UTC)

message: Can anyone help me identify this movie? It was a European movie, a very sad movie. A small boy found a kitten and struggled to keep it. I think it eventually died or was killed. I'm fairly sure (but I was a child myself when I saw it, so I could be wrong) that the background for the story was a war-torn city somewhere. There was rubble and bombed buildings in many shots. Since I was a child, I have wanted to find this movie, but this is all I remember of it: the boy, the kitten and the Dominique soundtrack. Thank you for whatever help you can provide! 68.203.92.3 (talk) 18:22, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

:On every road, in every place,
:He just talks about the Lord,
:He just talks about the Lord.
:In the age when John Lackland
:Was the king of England,
:Our father, Dominix
:Fought the Albigensians.
:(Chorus)
:One day a heretic
:Led him through the brambles,
:But our father, Dominic
:By his own joy, converted him.
:(Chorus)
:Without a camel or a coach,
:He travelled Europe on foot,
:Scandinavia and Provence,
:In saintly poverty.
From http://www.allthelyrics.com/lyrics/the_singing_nun/dominique-lyrics-425279.html
:Dominique, nique, nique, over the land he plods
: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
From http://www.markfoster.net/name/dominique_english.html
:Dominique, nique, nique
:I will tell of Dominique
:His goodness to acclaim
:And I pray the song I sing
:Will some simple pleasure bring
:That the world shall know his name!
:I will tell of Dominique as I sing this little song
:And when I sing the chorus all the world will sing along!
:Dominique, nique, nique it was good Saint Dominique
:He lived for you and me
:From his labors long ago
:Came a better world I know! And his love shall always be!
:Though I'm poor, said Dominique as he spoke unto the Lord,
:I will be your humble servent and your love is my reward!
:Dominique, nique, nique I will follow Dominique
:His burdens will I share
:For his courage will I pray
:His teachings to obey! His words shall be my prayer!
:By the kindness of his heart and the labor of his hand
:He brought love and understanding as he wandered through the land!

Does anyone have a reliable source on this? If Deckers herself recorded it in French and English, it shouldn't be difficult to find the words she used. --Guy Macon (talk) 05:18, 5 September 2013 (UTC)
