My Song Bird

Tonight was Miranda's Spring Musical concert at school (to make up for the cancelled Christmas concert, as the students had been forced out of their school because of the fire).

Miranda was so excited to be playing the tambourine. Their first song was a French one, Sur le pont d'Avignon, which is a song about people dancing on the medieval bridge in Avignon, France.  The song dates back to the 15th century!

Miranda is in the black shirt, with the tambourine, in front of the kid with the plaid shirt.  I wish I had a better video, but we were in the back row so we could sneak out after her performance.

Sur le pont d’Avignon
On y danse, on y danse
Sur le pont d’Avignon
On y danse tout en rond

Les beaux messieurs font comm’ ça
Et puis encore comm’ ça

Les belles dames font comm’ ça
Et puis encore comm’ ça

Les militaires font comm’ ça
Et puis encore comm’ ça

Les musiciens font comm’ ça
Et puis encore comm’ ça.

On the bridge of Avignon
We all dance there, we all dance there
On the bridge of Avignon
We all dance there in a ring

The handsome gentlemen go this way
Then again go that way

The beautiful ladies go this way
Then again go that way

The soldiers go this way
Then again go that way

The musicians go this way
Then again go that way
