charts. It is remembered chiefly for its refrain, which goes: Domi-nique -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 literal English translation is: Domi-nic -nic -nic went about simply, a poor singing traveller. On every road, in every place, he talks only of the Good Lord, he talks only of the Good Lord.The lyrics of the chorus of Regney's English-language translation are: Domi-nique -nique -nique, o'er the land he plods along, And sings a little song. Never asking for reward, He just talks about the Lord, He just talks about the Lord.Chart history Weekly charts Year-end charts All-time charts Cover versions Mary Ford recorded an English-language version that was released in November 1963 by Calendar Records. Sister Adele (a.k.a. Madelaine) also recorded a cover version of the song in 1963, which was released on Diplomat Records. The Cuban artist La Lupe, the Mexican artist Angélica María, the Colombian artist Aníbal Velázquez and the Venezuelan artist Mirla Castellanos recorded Spanish language versions of this song. The Brazilian singer Giane recorded a Brazilian Portuguese version of this song.
