Lalala und Nana nananana

[Kirunavaara]

Was die Bedeutung des Lalala angeht, so haben wir als Chorknaben gelernt: Bereits in den Madrigalen der Renaissance passieren die wirklich interessanten Dinge zwischen den Zeilen. Zum Beispiel:

Now is the month of Maying
When merry lads are playing
Fala lala lalala, falala lala lala
Each with his bonny lass
Upon the greeny grass
Fala lala lala laaaaa, la la

The Spring clad all in gladness
Doth laugh at Winter's sadness
Fala lala lalala, falala lala lala
And to the bagpipe's sound
The nymphs tread out their ground
Fala lala lala laaaaa, la la

Fie then, why sit we musing
Youth's sweet delight refusing?
Fala lala lalala, falala lala lala
Say dainty nymphs and speak,
Shall we play barley break?
Fala lala lala laaaaa, la la

(Thomas Morley: Now Is The Month Of Maying)
