Anem cherchar d'erbeta
Per faire la moleta
Virem-la, tornem-la
La moleta dins lo plat.
Let's go find some plants
To make an omelette
Turn it over, turn it back
The omelette in the dish.
Game Instructions
The children walk by in couples, holding each other's hands, their arms crossed in front of them. At the end of the song, they pull from their arms in order to turn around and they start walking on the opposite direction. This game can be played in a line or in a circle.
