The story
"Yalala" sounds like a children's rhyme — "la-la-la" — but it is sung in the dark. Someone knocks at the door, something scratches at the window and knows your name.
The song follows the rules of every good horror story: don't look under the bed, don't turn on the light and, most importantly — when everything goes quiet and you think it's over, don't turn around.
Lyrics
Original Bulgarian lyrics with English translation.
Ля-ля-ля, ляляля,
La-la-la, lalala,
някой шепне във нощта.
someone whispers in the night.
Лалалал, ялалала —
Lalalal, yalalala —
някой чука по вратата…
someone's knocking at the door…
Не поглеждай под леглото,
Don't look under the bed,
не запалвай светлина.
don't turn on the light.
Нещо драска по стъклото,
Something scratches at the window,
нещо знае твойто име да.
something knows your name.
Ля-ля-ля, ляляля,
La-la-la, lalala,
някой идва от мазето.
someone's coming from the basement.
Лалалал, ялалала —
Lalalal, yalalala —
но загубил си ключето…
but you've lost the key…
В коридора няма никой.
There's nobody in the corridor.
Само сянка. Само смях.
Only a shadow. Only laughter.
После лампата угасва
Then the light goes out,
и прошепва някой:
and someone whispers:
„Аз!“
“Me!”
Ля… ля… ля…
La… la… la…
песента не спира вече.
the song won't stop anymore.
Ля… ля… ля…
La… la… la…
а гласът е близо вече.
and now the voice is getting closer.
И когато стане тихо
And when everything goes quiet,
и си мислиш: „Край“…
and you think, “It's over”…
Не се обръщай.
Don't turn around.
Ля-ля-ля.
La-la-la.
