Ajde Jano, ajde dušo, kolo da igramo
Ajde Jano, ajde dušo, kolo da igramo.
Ajde Jano, konja da prodamo
Ajde Jano, ajde dušo, konja da prodamo
Ajde Jano, ajde dušo, konja da prodamo.
Da prodamo, samo da igramo
Da prodamo, Jano dušo, samo da igramo
Da prodamo, Jano dušo, samo da igramo.
Ajde Jano kuću da prodamo
Ajde Jano, ajde dušo, kuću da prodamo
Ajde Jano, ajde dušo, kuću da prodamo.
Da prodamo, samo da igramo
Da prodamo, Jano dušo, samo da igramo
Da prodamo, Jano dušo, samo da igramo.
The lyrics of Maja Milinković's song "Ajde Jano" explore the theme of letting go of material possessions in order to experience the joy of dancing and celebrating life. The repeated refrain of "Ajde Jano, kolo da igramo" invites Jano, likely a beloved individual, to join in the circle dance or "kolo," emphasizing the communal aspect of the activity. The act of dancing together symbolizes unity, togetherness, and the spirit of celebration.
The lyrics then take a more literal approach as they suggest selling a horse with the lines "Ajde Jano, konja da prodamo." This can be interpreted metaphorically as a willingness to sacrifice valuable possessions in exchange for the simple pleasure of dancing and sharing moments with loved ones. The act of selling the horse reflects a shift towards prioritizing experiences and connections over material wealth.
As the song progresses, the idea of selling possessions to engage in the dance is reinforced with the lines "Da prodamo, samo da igramo." Here, the focus is on the pure enjoyment of dancing, highlighting the idea that true happiness comes from shared experiences and moments of joy rather than material acquisitions. The repetition of the phrase underscores the importance of this message in the song's narrative.
The final verse introduces the concept of selling a house with the lyrics "Ajde Jano kuću da prodamo." This suggests a willingness to let go of even more significant possessions in order to fully immerse oneself in the dance and the moment. The idea of selling a house, typically a symbol of stability and security, further emphasizes the theme of prioritizing experiences and connection with others. Overall, the lyrics of "Ajde Jano" convey a powerful message about the value of human connection, celebration, and the joy that comes from shared experiences.
