Bernadette is a first name, the female form of Bernard. It may refer to:
Saint Marie-Bernarde Soubirous (7 January 1844 – 16 April 1879) was a miller's daughter born in Lourdes, France and is venerated as a Christian mystic and Saint in the Catholic Church. Her name in her native Gascon Occitan (occità) language was actually spelled Bernadeta Sobirós. Occitan's closest relative is Catalan Spanish. Her native language can still be heard in the Val d'Aran region of Catalonia, Spain where it is known as Aranese.
Soubirous is best known for her Marian apparitions of "a small young lady" who asked for a chapel to be built at a cave-grotto in Massabielle where the apparitions occurred between 11 February and 16 July 1858. She would later receive recognition when the lady who appeared to her identified herself as the Immaculate Conception.
Despite initial skepticism from the Catholic Church, Soubirous's claims were eventually declared "worthy of belief" after a canonical investigation, and the Marian apparition is now known as Our Lady of Lourdes. Since her death, Soubirous's body has apparently remained internally incorrupt, but it is not without blemish; during her third exhumation in 1925, the firm of Pierre Imans made light wax coverings for her face and her hands due to the discoloration that her skin has undergone. These masks were placed on her face and hands before she was moved to her crystal reliquary in June 1925.
Jean Delannoy (12 January 1908 – 18 June 2008) was a French actor, film editor, screenwriter and film director.
Although Delannoy was born in a Paris suburb, his family is from Haute-Normandie in the north of France. He was a Protestant, a descendant of Huguenots, some of whom fled the country during the French Wars of Religion first to settle in Wallonia then, after their name became De la Noye and then Delano, were on the second ship to emigrate to Plymouth, Massachusetts in America.
Jean Delannoy was a student in Paris when he began acting in silent films. He eventually landed a job with Paramount Studios Parisian facilities, working his way up to head film editor. In 1934 he directed his first film and went on to a long career, both writing and directing. In 1946, his film about a Protestant minister titled La symphonie pastorale was awarded the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival. In 1960, his film, Maigret tend un piège was nominated for a BAFTA award for "Best Film from any Source."
I don't wanna leave, Bernadette,
But I don't wanna live with the jet set.
I don't wanna leave with you payin' all my debts,
With that alimony, palimony, whatever it is you get.
Ooh, Bernadette, you are so expensive.
You've never done a day's work in your life,
You've got no incentive.
You've made a career out of punting off all of the men you've slept with.
Ooh, Bernadette, you are so expensive.
I can't get a job, Bernadette,
So all that I can offer are a lot of bad debts
If you marry me, Bernadette,
You'll lose the alimony, palimony, whatever it is you get.
Ooh, Bernadette, you are so expensive.
You've never done a day's work in your life,
You've got no incentive.
You've made a career out of punting off all of the men you've slept with.
Ooh, Bernadette, you are so expensive.
Ooh, Bernadette, Bernadette.
Ooh, Bernadette, Bernadette.
[Bernadette's got a house in the country,
She's really got it made.
Her lawyers made her filthy rich,
She's got all expenses paid.]
Maybe a famous rock star will fly you away,
Then you'll eat him all up,
And spit him out,
With a dash of Perrier.
And when you've had enough
You'll throw him away,
And take him for all you can get.
Yeah, you like it don't you, Bernadette?
I don't want to leave Bernadette,
But I wanna keep a little bit of self respect.
I don't want to leave with you paying all my debts,
With that alimony, palimony, whatever it is you get.
Ooh, Bernadette, you are so expensive.
You've never done a day's work in your life.
You've got no incentive.
Women like you oughta be locked up,
For giving others a bad name.
Ohh, Bernadette, you are so expensive.
Ooh, Bernadette, Bernadette.
Ooh, Bernadette.

I was shivering, I'll admit it
I had nothing better to do
except to wheeze my lazy wheeze
"Bernadette, where are you"
"Bernadette, where are you"
she gets much acclamation
for such a self ordained Faustian
Bernadette doesn't like doubters
she wants to fight in the Coliseum
what can you tell me of Therese and Isabelle
was it just fate that brought them together
or did they will their unusual union
in cahoot of love or all of the above
in cahoot of love or all of the above
in cahoot of love or all of the above
I was sputtering
but I got over it after hours of tireless rewiev
under the gracious and analytical hands
"Bernadette I honor you"
"Bernadette I honor you"
You and me in a playhouse
Living in a veil
We never need to go without
Memories bring no joy or peace
We are alone and all we need
Tuning out of their poison
Every waking day
Intolerance to overcome
Fortunes won by the boys with their guns
We are alone, nowhere to run
Bernadette, you are my liberty
I celebrate the day
That you changed my history
Of life and death
We'll always lead you into love and regret
But you have answers and I have the key
For the door to Bernadette
Winding down our emotions
Family and friends becoming ghosts to dream of
And pass on time we raise
Every face, every name
We are alone, no one to blame
Bernadette, you are my liberty
I celebrate the day
That you changed my history
Of life and death
We'll always lead you into love and regret
But you have answers and I have the key
Bernadette, people are searchin' for
the kind of love that we possess.
Some go on searchin' their whole life through
and never find the love I've found in you.
And when I speak of you I see envy in other men's eyes,
and I'm well aware of what's on their minds.
They pretend to be my friend, when all the time
they long to persuade you from my side.
They'd give the world and all they own
for just one moment we have known.
Bernadette, they want you because of the pride that gives,
But Bernadette, I want you because I need you to live.
But while I live only to hold you,
Some other men, they long to control you.
But how can they control you Bernadette,
when they can not control themselves, Bernadette,
from wanting you, needing you,
But darling you belong to me.
I'll tell the world you belong to me,
I'll tell the world, you're the soul of me,
I'll tell the world you're a part of me.
In your arms I find the kind of peace of mind
the world is searching for,
But you, you give me the joy this heart of mine
has always been longing for.
In you I have what other men long for.
All men need someone to worship and adore,
that's why I treasure you and place you high above,
for the only joy in life is to be loved.
So whatever you do, Bernadette, keep on loving me,
Bernadette, keep on needing me,
Bernadette.
Waking up to the morning through my fishbowl
And I worry is she sleeping?
Is she breathing? Is she dead?
And would I be a better mother to a kitty
Or a puppy, or chimpanzees,
or maybe to your baby
Lord willing...
If I'm alive this time tomorrow
then I'll have more time to kill
and maybe we could rearrange my furniture
to make lots more room to fill
You and I, we lay like fireflies
retired from those summer nights
All bottled up as victims of our child's play
And when we laugh the walls are muted by our existence
Should I be a bit more persistent when I was you to stay over?
If you're willing...
You are the only one that matters
And the only one who knows
Every inch of my perimeter
From my fingers to my toes
And I don't know where we'll be tomorrow
But I have one guarantee
For these arms once held malignancy
You know that I'm willing...
I'm willing I'm willing
I'm willing to take you home
I'm willing, I'm willing
I'm willing to follow you home
I'm willing, I'm willing
I'm willing to take you home
I'm willing, I'm willing
I held up pretty well
The first few days I even tried to dying
To get my mind off you
Friends said I look like hell
They said they snapped like that
If they'd been through
What I'd been through
They'd simply fall apart
Well, I am about to start
I never thought I'd break
I thought I could hang on till all the hurt
Had all run out
And I'd be fine
I guess I am not that kind
Not the kind to fall apart
When lovers go away until today
It finally hit me, you're gone
And now I am barely hangin' on
I never thought I'd break
I never thought you'd make me miss your face
And make me ache to hear your voice
But now I have no choice
I've always had the answer
You were my one mistake
Until the day we broke up
I never thought I'd break
I never thought I'd break
I never thought you'd make me miss your face
And make me ache to hear your voice
But now I have no choice
I've always had the answers
You were my one mistake
Until the day I woke up
I thought I'd do what I could judge
Until that day we broke up
