Salve Regina (HQ) Louis de Funès

Without a doubt the funniest thing I’ve seen in weeks but in HD -ish.

Extract from the film:

Les Gendarmes et les Extra-terrestres (1979)

where agent Cruchot disguises himself as a nun to avoid being caught by the police.
He ends up having to sing for the Monsignor, not knowing the lyrics to Salve Regina (by Raymond Lefebvre). Having the wrong words, singing the “Requiem Mass of the dead”, making Mother Superior very agitated as shown.

Classic fun!
Check out the translation below and you’d understand how extremely funny this is for catholics.

Salve Regina, Mater misericordiae
Vita, dulcedo et spes nostra, salve.
Et Jesum benedictum,
fructum ventris tui.
Nobis post hoc exilium,
Dulcis Virgo Maria.

Requiem aeternam,
Done eis, Domine,
De profundis luduuuduuuduu
Requiescat in pace.
Turaluralaaaou - mdr


Translation basically:
Hail Holy Queen, Mother of mercy
Hail, our life, sweetness and hope.
And after this our exile,
show unto us the blessed fruit
of thy womb, Jesus.
O sweet Virgin Mary!

Eternal rest
grant unto them, O Lord.
May they rest in peace.
