SWEDISH SONG GAMES

Kom fal - le - ral - la la, la la la la la la.
Setting. A large circle facing the center and moving to the right.
Several boys inside moving to the left with left hands on hips.
Description. At 1, same as setting. At 2, each boy inside halts
before some girl in the circle and both dance dalstep, stamping with
right foot, the boy beckoning with his left hand to girl to come in and
dance with him, and the girl roguishly responding with left hand. At
3, they stamp left foot and beckon with right hand. At 4, they dance
to the right, ring grasp. At repetition of chorus, they dance in same
way, but at 4, to the left. In every verse at 1, the large circle moves
with running step; at 2 and 3, dalstep, (stamp right, swing left; stamp
left, swing right); at 4, running step.
II
Oh, yes, kindest laddie, I will tread a dance with you,
So take my hand and join me in a turn or two!
Description. At 1, the boy takes the girl’s left hand with his right,
and they walk inside the circle to the left; at 2, they face each other,
shaking left hands; at 3, they shake right hands, at the same time
dancing two dalsteps as in verse I; at 4, they dance with ring grasp
to the right. At repetition of chorus, they dance in same way, but at
4, to the left.
III
Oh, see, bonny laddie takes his playmate by the hand,
And happy then they journey to some distant land.
Description. At 1, as in verse II; at 2, and 3, dalstep, facing
with ring grasp; at 4, dancing around. The game now begins again,
this time with the girls inside.
