Chorus
4:7:3-4	1	c_L c_R	c_L c_R	c_L c_R	no hands	½luna
4:7:5-6	2	s_L s_R	s_L s_R	s_L s_R	"Turn a bit to the side" between the continenze and the scempi. We're not precisely sure what this means, but our best guess is to go back into an equilateral triangle, which would imply: sempi are done backing away from each other	triangle
4:7:6-8	3	½r_L ½r_R v_LR	½r_L ½r_R v_LR	½r_L ½r_R v_LR	This is the famous "Volta di Lasso". It is four steps in one measure, very close to a quick side-and-turn-single. The siding is left-then-right, and the turn is over the right shoulder, two steps starting with the left foot.
4:7:6-8	4	R_L	R_L	R_L
