Podul de piatră s-a dărâmat
A venit apa şi l-a luat
Vom face altul pe riu, în jos
Altul mai trainic şi mai frumos!
Vom face altul pe riu, în jos
Altul mai trainic şi mai frumos!
The stone bridge broke down,
The water came and took it down!
We'll build another one,
Another one that will last and is even more beautiful!
We'll build another one,
Another one that will last and is even more beautiful!
Game Instructions
One kid stands across from another kid and makes an arch by holding the other kid's hands up in the air. All the other players pass one by one under the bridge (under the hands of those who make up the bridge) while singing the song. When the song comes to an end, the players who make up the bridge lower their hands to catch the one who is currently under the bridge. The kid who was caught leaves the game and stands on the sideline. Once there's another player on the sideline, the two join the players forming the bridge by putting their hands up in an arch next to the first two who are forming the bridge so that the bridge becomes longer. (Alternatively, they can replace the first two who made the bridge. The 1st two then joins the line of kids going under the bridge.)
