Lyrics - Spanish
(Puerto Rican folk song)
Pase misí pase misá*
Por las puertas de Alcalá
Los de a’lante corren mucho
Los de atrás se quedaran
*Some versions say: Pase misín, pase misón
English Translation – Pass, pass
Pass “misí” pass “misá”
Through the gates of Alcalá *
Those in front run a lot
Those behind will stay
*fortress

Formation: Two students form a bridge by joining hands in the air. The other students stand in a line.
While singing, the students pass under the bridge. At the end, the “bridge” students lower their hands and catch a student.
