two columns

OPENER    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face, grand square
To you my heart cries out "Perfidia"
For I found you, the love of my life
In somebody else's arms

Allemande left and you weave the ring
Your eyes are echoing "Perfidia,"
Forgetful of our promise of love
You're sharing another's charms


FIGURE (Twice for heads, twice for sides)    Plus, corner progression

Heads (sides) square thru 4 hands around the ring you gonna go
Right & left thru, veer left
Crossfire, girls run, veer left
Crossfire, boys run right
Swing your corner, promenade all right
Forgetful for our promise of love
You're sharing another's charms


MIDDLE BREAK    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face, grand square
With a sad lament, my dreams have faded
Like a broken melody
While the gods of love look down and laugh
At what romantic fools we mortals be

Allemande left and you weave the ring
And now I know my love was not for you
And so I'll take it back with a sigh
Perfidious one, good-bye


CLOSER    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face, grand square
To you my heart cries out "Perfidia"
For I found you, the love of my life
In somebody else's arms

Allemande left and you weave the ring
And now I know my love was not for you
And so I'll take it back with a sigh
Perfidious one, good-bye


TAG

Good-bye
