Pour passer le Rhône
To Cross the Rhone River
Jeu chanté
Singing Game
(French)
(English)
Pour passer le Rhône,
Il faut être deux,
Pour bien le passer,
Il faut savoir danser.
Allons passe, passe, passe,
Allons passe donc.
Allons passe, passe, passe,
Allons passe donc.
To cross the Rhone
It takes two,
To cross it properly,
You must know how to dance.
Come on, cross, cross, cross,
Come on, cross it then.
Come on, cross, cross, cross,
Come on, cross it then.
Game Instructions
The children stand in two rows facing each other. During the first part of the song, both rows step forwards and backwards twice. Then the 2 children at the front end of the lines step forward, open their arms, join hands and sidestep up to the far end, come back to the front of the line, go to the end again and stay at the end of the line. Then the game resumes.
