Klemen Slakonja as Pope Francis - Modern Pope (#SpreadLove)

Klemen Slakonja impersonating Pope Francis (Je bella cesta, 7.11.2013, Pop tv)

Modern Pope (#SpreadLove)
(K.Slakonja/K.Slakonja/M.Bezjak)

I walk in my own shoes,
I said no to the red papal shoes.
I don't need a golden cross,
I can wear a metal cross.
I drive with the bus,
I can drive the bus.
I can carry my briefcase myself,
do I look like an elf?!

Nope, nope, nope,
I am a modern pope!

Even on Facebook I just like,
I do not hate.
I can speak any language,
because I use Google Translate.
I make photos with my cam
and post them to Instagram.
I cannot turn water into wine,
but I think I can make a Vine.

I see on Twitter, people are bitter.
Seek and find God in all things!

#SpreadLove, hallelujah,
come on spread love, dove!
#SpreadLove, hallelujah,
come on spread love, dove,
fly high above the sky!

My nickname is Pontifex,
which is Latin for bridge builder.
Pontifex!
I will rebuild the church!
Pontifex!
Don't get me wrong -
still no premarital sex!

Nope, nope, nope,
I am a modern pope.

When I come home like Lassie,
I watch football, I like Messi.
And hey, who am I to judge gay!
If they search for the Lord - it's okay.
And it makes me sad when I find sisters who aren't joyful.
I love tango and I used to dance when I was young.
We must restore hope to young people, help the old, be open to the future, spread love.
Be poor among the poor. We need to include the excluded and preach peace.

I see on Twitter, people are bitter.
Seek and find God in all things.

#SpreadLove, hallelujah,
come on spread love, dove!
#SpreadLove, hallelujah,
come on, spread love.

#SpreadLove, hallelujah,
come on spread love, dove!
#SpreadLove, hallelujah,
come on spread love, dove,
fly high above the sky!

I promise to pray for you.
Amen!
Instead of European troika, you can have the Trinity -
the Father the Son and the Holy Spirit.

#Širite ljubezen

Papež, prosim reši sLOVEnijo.
Bratje in sestre, dober večer.

Hodim v svojih čevljih,
rdečim papeškim čevljem sem rekel ne.
Ne potrebujem zlatega križa,
nosim lahko kovinski križ.
Vozim se z avtobusom,
jaz lahko vozim avtobus.
Svojo aktovko lahko nosim sam,
mogoče izgledam kot kakšen škrat?
Ne, ne, ne,
jaz sem sodoben papež!
Celo na Facebooku samo všečkam,
ne hejtam.
Govorim vse jezike,
ker uporabljam Google Translate.
S svojim fotoaparatom delam fotke
in jih objavljam na Instagram.
Vode ne morem spremeniti v vino,
mislim pa, da lahko naredim Vine.

Na Twitterju vidim,
da so ljudje zagrenjeni.
Iščite in najdite Boga v vseh rečeh.

#Širite ljubezen, aleluja,
daj, širi ljubezen, golob.
#Širite ljubezen, aleluja,
daj, širi ljubezen, golob,
poleti visoko nad nebo.

Moj vzdevek je Pontifex,
kar je latinski izraz za graditelja mostov.
Pontifex,
obnovil bom cerkev,
Pontifex,
ne razumite me narobe,
še vedno nič seksa pred poroko.
Ne, ne, ne,
jaz sem sodoben papež.
Ko pridem domov kot Lassie,
gledam nogomet, všečkam Messija.
In hej, kdo sem jaz, da bi sodil geje?
Če iščejo Gospoda, prav.
Žalosti me, ko vidim sestre, ki niso srečne.
Rad imam tango.
Plesal sem ga, ko sem bil mlad.
Mladim ljudem moramo ponovno vliti upanje,
pomagati starejšim,
biti odprti za prihodnost, širiti ljubezen.
Biti revni med revnimi, vkjučiti izključene in pridigati o miru.

Na Twitterju vidim,
da so ljudje zagrenjeni.
Iščite in najdite Boga v vseh rečeh.

#Širite ljubezen, aleluja,
daj, širi ljubezen, golob.
#Širite ljubezen, aleluja,
daj, širi ljubezen.
#Širite ljubezen, aleluja,
daj, širi ljubezen, golob.
#Širite ljubezen, aleluja,
daj, širi ljubezen, golob,
poleti visoko nad nebo.

Obljubim, da bom molil za vas.
Amen.
Namesto evropske trojke imate lahko sveto trojico:
Boga Očeta, Sina in Svetega Duha.

Hey guys! Check out my Christmas EP
🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄

[Meaxis]

Imagine walking in the street and suddenly seeing a man cosplayed as the pope dancing tango alone

[snowgots]

If Vatican City was in the Eurovision:

[billclinton]

Top 10 rappers Eminem is afraid to diss

[barbarosbozkurt]

When Pope Francis predicted the removal of the dislike button 8 years prior

[stupidtreefrog]

Me: watches Netflix' "The Two Popes" related content

Also me: gets this recommended the next day

[deaddodo]

"I love tango"
His Argentinean self pops out

[artmisa]

As an argentinian i loved the tango reference and the accent. This is perfection

[moibe]

What I love about Klemen Slakonja's videos is that even though they seem like they're meant to make fun of the character, they're not at all! In fact, they're much better, because they're very funny but don't offend the person or their followers. It takes a lot of talent to be able to be so creative and funny without hurting or being low or with clumsy offenses like many others on the internet. This guy is a genius, I loved the videos of Trump, Putin and Pope Francis!!

[claudia.]

First time: what the hell is this?
Second time: actually it sounds really good
Third to 34th time: why is this so addictive?

[daMacadamBlob]

Pope Francis probably dances to this in secret

[karolczekalowski]

That is actually funny, without offending anybody.

[dezsodebreceni]

"I don't need a golden cross
I can wear a metal cross"

Dude... gold is... is.... don't tell anybody, but it's metal

[AkiriSu]

*"i see on twitter the people are bitter"*

[mace]

Even as an atheist, I fucking _love_ it, this is _exactly_ what is needed, and despite our various beliefs, isn't the message "spread love" something we can all get behind?
It doesn't matter if you're Christian, Muslim, Jew, Hindu, something else entirely, or not subscribing to any of that like me, I think we _can_ get a better world to live in for all of us if we just spread a little love.🙂

[LightningShade]

"I see on twitter, people are bitter" This lyric aged too well

[BartlomiejDmowski]

As a Christian, I find it really motivating and joyful

God bless you all!

[JavertRA]

Rumour has it all world leaders are actually Klemen Slakonja. I get the impression the Pope might actually find this funny.

[neiretzlik]

This song shows our actual Pope on funny way, but this is not offending Christian people. It greatly shows christian people as not "medieval dead brainer" but as a people who can teach about god even in modern way! Thank you, god bless you m8 :)

[DelectableAlkalineBattery]

I would love to have been present during the creation of this video, as witnessing a Slovenian man cosplaying Pope Francis and doing the tango would undoubtedly be the highlight of my existence.
