This is the first time I remember hearing this in English. The Angels have sung into my Heart. Thank you.

[@lifestudent55]

For some reason I woke up with this song going through my mind, and I haven't heard it in decades.

[@McLeanAmy]

One of Debbie Reynolds's finest. Such a glorious song.

[@baxbi]

One of my favorite films when I was a kid! Rest in peace Debbie Reynolds.

[@712Liberal]

I a world that needs love and understanding, this song is a breath of fresh air and a cold drink of water. I subscribed, thank you for posting such an inspiring tune.

[@anaelietemedinalopes9132]

Como é bom relembrar músicas tão maravilhosa como está que junto trás tantas lembranças boas.Pena que hoje não existe tanta beleza e poesias nas músicas como antes.💖💖

[@1969citadel]

As an old Christian and soldier, this song touches me on several levels.

[@bjreynolds3084]

i think debbie did a GREAT job on this song!

[@alextepe4309]

Gone but not forgotten. Rip Ricardo Montalban.

[@Appleholic1]

The real story of the singing nun is so sad and tragic.

[@scottplanner22]

It was my understanding that the Real singing nun didn't want the fame and decided to go and help the poor in another country. The Church granted her that request and her privacy was respected and kept secret. Was there something else that happened to her? thx

[@laobok]

Me and You She left the order in 1965, accompanied by her lover, Annie Pescher, whom she stayed with until their mutual suicide pact in 1985. So yeah, definitely something else.

[@scottplanner22]

***** WOW.. ok ty for the info

[@scottplanner22]

---Its sad. From what I understand back then, Many girls went into the convents at around the ages of 13 to 14 to live in total poverty. Hardly the life experience nor wisdom to understand the complexity's of the world.... She was right that the church was responsible for the taxes and not her.. BUT Churches do not pay taxes anywhere, even though they received all of the money from her sales and quite possibly owned the music rights to anything she did. The fact that she committed suicide perplexes me because in the church that is the most unforgivable mortal sin of all. I wonder if she and her friend did, or if they were 'sacrificed'.. Hate to sound dramatic, but given the current knowledge of the church's fall from grace, I wonder... I am Catholic.. and love what the church Was.. not IS. Shameful

[@laobok]

Me and You Though this doesn't sweeten the pill, one of them wrote on a suicide note that "[God] won't let us down". I think they truly believed that their only solution was to be with God. And yeah, despite the thing that some believe that you'll go to hell for committing suicide, it's probably(?) not that widespread. The Bible talks about suicide rather straightforward but doesn't consider it a sin, but I digress.

[@carlosbaez1176]

I listened this song in Spanish Version during my childhood years.in the mid Sixties. Great memories.

[@patriciaparsons3541]

I Love the movie singing nun, loved it as a child, Still love it as an adult.

[@sjcohen4444]

I saw this at Radio City for the Easter Show when it was first released. Even owned the original soundtrack lp.

[@mollynolan1]

I have years in my eyes thinking back to my youth. I loved this song as a teen in boarding school a school for the blind.

[@mimis.4093]

One of the sweetest songs by Sister and Debbie! Thank You both!

[@ladyatalyasilitonga]

in the mind of another country: the song is scary in the mind of people +62: 💃🏻dancing in koplo version

RIP Debby Reynolds , a beautiful singer and beloved mother to Carrie fisher

[@mnoble211]

the French version is better

[@windstorm1000]

by far--it has a flavor this one is imitation vanilla

[@aeroswirl]

I like the American version more as the voice of Debbie Reynolds is prettier (for me) and she sings much more clearly. I think what is missing is a good vocal like in the French version.

[@albievanwalsem6705]

i totaly agree!

[@stephenkennedy3118]

This cover is actress Debbie Reynolds singing, impersonating Sister Sourire in the film The Singing Nun.

[@davemattia]

The French version -- which should be the only version - tells an actual story...an interesting and lyrical one. These lyrics sound like a stupid Sesame Street throw-away song. They could have literally translated the song and thereby saved the legacy of the story behind it, but this is the junk they came up with. Why? Because no one connected with this was talented enough to go line by line and figure out a way to translate the essence of the story in English and maintain it's basic rhythm and pentameter. They just wanted to sell records and movie tickets -- screw the artistic stuff.

[@paulwiis9469]

The original Sister Act... a tough act to follow. Sleep in peace.

[@tinytowz4471]

Yup!

[@X-OR_]

First Time I have heard this in english. Just Beautiful !!

[@slappy2013]

lol, it was rewritten. it acually something like HE WALKED WITH POVERTY ACROSS EUROPE repeated over and over. I think the guy who rewrote it got an Oscar.

[@dewerbylhserf]

My cousin was a nun then she left the convent got married and receive Jesus Christ as your Savior. That is a true story

[@dewerbylhserf]

Gods word ( The Bible ) totally goes against what you just said. Read > John 3:16, John 3:3 Romans 3:23, Romans 5:8, (Romans 10:13)

[@dewerbylhserf]

+GeneticChowder69 You must not read the Bible that much, How can she go to Hell by leaving the convent are you serious. show me that in the Bible ??

[@abbyinokc]

RIP sweet Debbie.

[@sundaramthathuvaswamy6320]

so sweet and simple

[@deborah2dolphin]

how great is this, to hear this in English and to know the meaning of this song!! Thank you so much!

[@johnoestreich4193]

To evoke onto the lives of religious as opposed to lay people is to diminish unfairly, to compare unfairly. The bible says: In the words of the Lord- "Judge not lest you be judged" When the prostitute was brought before the scribes in the time of Jesus. The routine punishment for the crime was to be stoned to death. Jesus said: " If there be any man here who has not sinned let him cast the first stone" Then as the woman was spared the ordeal Jesus told her "Go and sin no more". Further to compare in anyway the spiritual life of a religious to that of a private citizen is in my mind sacrilegious. Religious people join various catholic orders and convents because they have a blessed calling to do God's work. God Bless them. It is something private sacred and righteously between them and their God only.

[@windstorm1000]

God has a sense of humor too---fun is not 'habit' forming (LOL)

[@gunnarthorsen]

Hey, Powerdriller: Jeanne Deckers left her convent, but continued to live by her vows as a lay Dominican. She later participated in the Catholic Charismatic Movement, AS a Catholic. When she and her partner committed suicide, she left a note asking for a Roman Catholic burial, and was given one. She identified as a Catholic her entire life in one way or another, and died as such. Whatever the faults of her church, (real, or imaginary and seething in your uber-biased mind) she managed to stay connected to it. In regards to her life and legacy, what SHE did and thought matters more than what YOU say. The "singing nun" by the way was a MOVIE. That you would bash the fictional "fucking nun chief" in the film for turning off a TV set is nuts, not to mention crude. The real Mother Superior of her convent ENCOURAGED her to write songs and perform and record them. Her fellow sisters were aware of her endeavors in this regard, and they and the work that they did the were the better for them. The last person who has "insight" enabling him to criticize how nuns lived or live, and what their calling entails, is you.

[@annheaney5116]

Hello. I learned something after reading your e-mail. With all of the mental health problems that Jeanne Deckers had I respect her songs that she created in spite of them. I listen to her songs everyday. If only she could have the quality of therapy and psychiatric drugs of today she and Ann Pecker might not have committed suicide.

[@uncbadguy]

I went to Catholic school. Sister Mary Hardass was fkn KERayzee . But she was also RIGHT! Promiscuity really IS bad for you.

[@alvarogodoy7616]

Rest in Peace..!!great memories when I was a kid..long time ago..but never forgot this song..

[@eicen16]

[@jachiza66sjh]

Grow up man, this song has nothing to do with American Horror Story. It is unfortunate that people like you don't have an idea of the real mining of the song.

After disagreements with the Church Sister Luc Gabrielle left the convent to live with and eventually had a lesbian relationship with an Annie Pecher. Due to financial difficulties both committed suicide on 25-3-1985

FROM DECEMBER 1963 FROM A VERY DIFFERENT AMERICA WHEN WE WERE ALL AS ONE. FAN IN SAN ANTONIO TEXAS. ALSO MY GIRLFRIEND LAURIE WAS NEXT DOOR NEIGHBORS TO ED IN SOUTHBURY CONNECTICUT.

[@carollong3305]

The song is about Dominic Guzman, founder of the Dominican order, who played a big part in the Cathar crusade, in which the "heretical" southern France sect, the Albigensians, were slaughtered by the French king, actions which spawned the Inquisition and the term, "genocide".

[@johnhensler3284]

I love this song. I heard it as a little kid. N never forgotten the song. Never been able to get or find the song till now.

[@Prancer1231]

Oh good, another crazy anticatholic spreading BS on a perfectly harmless little song. Can't you people just leave ANYTHING alone? NO, you can't. It was not just Catholics that opposed them, they were anti-civilization but please be sure to put your anticatholic spin on everything like you all do. Go read a book that wasn't written by an anticatholic, thanks. The facts: "They believed in a good spirit who created the spiritual, and in an evil spirit who created the material world, including the human body, which is therefore under his control. The good spirit created the soul but the evil one imprisoned it in the body, which is evil from its source. To deliver souls from this evil and punishment, the good spirit, God, sent Jesus Christ who is only a creature. Since the body is evil He could assume only a celestial one. They commended suicide especially by starvation, their endura, and in general, the extinction of human life, and advocated abstention from marriage, preferring concubinage as less evil. As they were a menace to governments and society generally, and resisted all attempts at their conversion, a crusade was organized by barons from France, Germany, and Belgium against Raymond VI, Count of Toulouse, who favored them. After defeating them with great carnage the barons, contrary to the designs of Pope Innocent III, continued a war of conquest. The sect disappeared in the 14th century."

[@Comdesron17]

[@johnhensler3284]

Thank U for all your input. N for the history lesson. N Thank U for ruining a good song that I liked so well for so many years. I hope U have happyer days.
