Soeur Sourire plays and sings / Dominique (1963) - 316 sec
Filmed fragments of Jeanine Deckers, the musical Belgian nun who became famous as Soeur Sourire (Smiling Sister) or The Singing Nun. Her song Dominique hit number one in many hit charts in 1963, in her own version as well as in other languages. Hollywood made a quasi-biography about her, starring Debbie Reynolds.
"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, -nique, -nique, over the land he walks along
And sings his little song
Never asking for reward, he just talks about the Lord
He just talks about the Lord."
