I think it means "Yay" or something of the like. I could be wrong.

Well, the general anime translation is "I Win!" As we have learned from games like Street Fighter and Animes like Guardress.

the actual and most acurate translation for yatta is "alright" which can mean "i win", "yay" etc. just like it can here in america. it is a positive and sometimes motivating expression of encouragement or excitement.

as for the original music and such it apparently is a bunch of men dancing around wearing figs leafs much like the amv una and i saw. but here is the original and other videos (including the one above) for the song yatta.

YATTA!
YATTA! homesite!

translation too!

At least it doesn't take much thought to figure out WHY they're called Green Leaf....
