Vranjanka

Touchstone Sacred Dance Library
Vranjanka Associations---Serbia Love Song Tapes Found On---Camp 94 Camp 96 Origin---Serbia Choreographer---traditional Notes The song for Vranjanka is usually different than the song for Cano Duso Vranjanke means a young woman of Vranje (a village in southeast Serbia) The whole dance has a languorous, oriental feel to it. All movements are relaxed and flow from one into the other. This version is not the original version of South Serbia, but is close. Words in Native Tongue Volela me jedna vranjanka. Kraj nje mi je dus"a ostala. Nit' je Sofka, nit' je Kos"tana, Vec' najleps"a Jela, Jelena. Nit' je Sofka, nit' je Kos"tana, Vec' najleps"a Jela, Jelena. REFREN Pusto! Pusto! Pusto mi je sve! Nema! Nema! Nema moje Jelene! Dodji! Dodji! Dodji Jelo Jelena! Ti si moje srce odnela! :\| Sve bih dao kad bih saznao, Ko je moju Jelu ukrao Od svih leps"a Jela, Jelena. REFREN
