Die Spielmannsmusik war der Rock’n Roll des Mittelalters und so sind VAN LANGEN, die SUCHENDEN VERGANGENER ZEITEN doch ihrer Zeit voraus.
Yana
Van Langen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yanke, le, Yano
V ravno polle s zhetvarki,
Yanke, le, Yano.
The first line of the song "Zamraknala tunka Yana" can be understood as "Yana got frightened by the darkness." Yana is a female name and it is unclear who or what causes Yana to feel scared. It could either be a physical darkness or something metaphorical, such as fear or anxiety. The second line, "Yanke, le, Yano" can be interpreted as gibberish words used to create rhythm and melody to the song. The repetition of "Yanke, le, Yano" throughout the song makes it catchy and memorable.
In the next two lines, the song talks about a field with reapers, "V ravno polle s zhetvarki." The repetition of "Yanke, le, Yano" continues in these lines. The imagery of a field with reapers suggests a rural setting, and the song may be referencing the harvest season. The overall mood of the song seems to be melancholic, with a mix of fear and nostalgia. The lyrics are simple, yet the melody and repetition of certain phrases give the song a hypnotic effect.
