Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Va a caer, va a caer
Este puente va a caer
¡Se ha caído!
¿Cómo vamos a cruzar?
A cruzar, a cruzar
¿Cómo vamos a cruzar?
En barquitos de papel
De papel, de papel
En barquitos de papel
¡Lo cruzamos!
Este puente va a caer
Va a caer, va a caer
Este puente va a caer
¡Se ha caído!
¿Cómo vamos a cruzar?
A cruzar, a cruzar
¿Cómo vamos a cruzar?
Este río
En barquitos de papel
De papel, de papel
En barquitos de papel
¡Lo cruzamos!
The lyrics to "Este Puente Va a Caer" by CantaJuego describe a situation where a bridge has fallen and the people are trying to figure out how to cross the river. The repetitive nature of the lyrics makes it easy for children to follow and participate. The first verse describes the bridge falling, with the repeated line "va a caer" emphasizing the inevitability of its collapse. In the second verse, the people are trying to figure out how to cross the river without the bridge. The solution they come up with is to use paper boats, which are light enough to float on the water. The repetition of "en barquitos de papel" reinforces this idea and allows children to easily sing along.
