1520. Sur le Pont d'Avignon (Traditional French) - Axel and Raymond descargar videos gratis

Though I'm enjoying Chinese New Year in Malaysia with my wife's family, I am missing those left behind, especially my four-year-old grandson, Axel. Fortunately I have this video we made before I left for Malaysia, so here it is to usher in the Year of the Black Water Snake.

This song dates back to the 15th century. The bridge is actually Pont St. Bénézet but it is better known as the Pont d'Avignon. The original version of the song was actually "Sous le Pont d'Avignon" (Under the Bridge of Avignon), because in medieval times there were popular cafés with dancing and other pleasure activities on the Ile de la Barthelasse, under the arches of the bridge. Nobody would have been allowed to dance on the bridge.
