The translation "spirit village" (or "life village") a couple of messages back is how you'd read it if it was standard Turkish - but it isn't. "Jani" is a Crimean Tatar cognate of Turkish "yeni", meaning "new".

There are links between Crimean Tatar song and the Ashkenazi musical culture, but they don't involve the sickening mix of genocide and lies that this song came out of. Just let it die please.
