Do you give Balkandzhi Yovo, nice Yana to the Turkish faith? ( Bulgarian: Даваш ли, даваш балканджи Йово, хубава Яна на турска вяра?) is a reworked text by Pencho Slaveikov [1] based on the Bulgarian folk song „Come on, give it, Nikola”, [2] recorded and first published by Stjepan Verković in 1860 in the collection „ Folk Songs of the Macedonian Bulgarians”. [3] It is presumed the original song was performed in the villages of Skotoussa ( Bulgarian: Просеник) and the extinct village of Krasohori, ( Bulgarian: Лехово) (near Agkistro), both in Greece today. Some authors suppose this song is possibly a deception. [4] It reflects the events surrounding the uprising in Yana.[ citation needed]
