A LA LIMÓN GAME
traditional circle game from Puerto Rico
alternate lyrics for "A la limón" in last URL
Note from Elvira Rebate:
The game is pesented as "A La Limón"... I believe it is a mispelling.
It should say: "Al alimón" which isn't necessarily related to a lemon.
"Al alimón" is an expression meaning: all together, at the same time.
In the games of "rueda" o "corro" many times things are played "al alimón".
