Hello!
Trois fois saint is a french expression we can't find in any other language.
It's here to glorify something,or someone,to pay tribute to it.
ex:someone saves his life by practicing football all days long,and has became so
strong,great in this sport that he makes carreer as a planetary star whereas he
comes from the gettho,he could say :
"trois fois saint soit le ballon rond" which can be translated as "holy should be
the God of football".
Or someone is really kind of guitar,and is a player himself,he could say by
passion:"trois fois saint soit l'enfant vaudou"(voodoo child stands for jimi
hendrix,due to the name of one of this song),which we can translate as:
"glory to the name of jimi hendrix",as a tribute to his hero,master.
It's kind of image,metaphor,as often in french language.
