I didn't find any information about the origin of the tune Zaspo Janko. I've only found that this song comes from Croatia (a few talk about Bosnia......) and that Janko-Vic is one of the most spread Serbian surname.
An English translation of the main verse by Judith Weir, british composer :
BROKEN
BRANCHES
Janko
slept beneath a poplar
Darling,
O my dearest one.
Broken
branches all around him,
Darling
O my dearest one.
