Agree aswell but in his days there wasnt any internet connection or phones so your actually a bit right but not really and heres what pewdie pie would say: why!? HOW hes so right FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
@Bahadır İlhan I'm talking about the first one, notice the part when I say 'men' as in, the plural, so multiple. And also '50s' as in the 1950's. And also 'unleash' as in, the first ones to make it a known thing.
I don't have the expertise to speak about Finland's cultural influence, but at least in my country, Japan, this song is one of the most representative songs of my generation.
Finland and Sweden are per capita the largest producer of Metal Music in the world, so there is that! Not sure which is on top right now, but there is that! Edit: Finland, by far. Also, iceland is apparently at second place?
ABOUT Ievan Polkka (Ieva’s polka) is a song based on lyrics written in 1930s by Eino Kettunen and popular folk melody originated by South Karelia. The song was first recorded in 1937 but has since been covered multiple times, most notably by Finnish folk band “Loituma” in 1995. This version later became an internet meme around 2006 when it was used in looping flash animation called “leek spin The lyrics are written in strong Eastern Savonian dialect and tells a story of a girl named Eeva who sneaks away to a polka party. this is the original lyric: Verse 1] Nuapurista kuulu se polokan tahti jalakani pohjii kutkutti Ievan äiti se tyttöösä vahti vaan kyllähän Ieva sen jutkutti Sillä ei meitä silloin kiellot haittaa Kun myö tanssimme laiasta laitaan [Refrain] Salivili hipput tupput täppyt äppyt tipput hilijalleen [Verse 2] Ievan suu oli vehnäsellä ko immeiset onnee toevotti Peä oli märkänä jokaisella ja viulu se vinku ja voevotti Ei tätä poikoo märkyys haittaa Sillon ko laskoo laiasta laitaan [Refrain] Salivili hipput tupput täppyt äppyt tipput hilijalleen [Verse 3] Ievan äiti se kammarissa virsiä veisata huijjuutti Kun tämä poika naapurissa ämmän tyttöä nuijjuutti Eikä tätä poikoo ämmät haittaa Sillon ko laskoo laiasta laitaan [Refrain] Salivili hipput tupput täppyt äppyt tipput hilijalleen [Bridge] Hilipati hilipati hilipati hillaa Hilipati hilipati hilipampaa Jalituli jallaa talituli jallaa Tilitali tilitali tilitantaa Hilipati hillaa hilipati hillaa Hilipati hilipati jalituli jallaa Tilitali tallaa, tulituli jallaa Hilipati hilipati hilipampaa Rimpatirillaa ripirapirullaa Rumpatirumpa tiripirampuu Jamparingaa rimpatiraparan Tsupantupiran dillandu Japat stilla dipudupu dullaa Dumpatidupa lipans dullaa Dipidapi dullaa rimpati rukan Ribitit stukan dillandu Jatsatsa barillas dilla lapadeian dullan deian doo Joparimba badabadeia stulla Laba daba daba dujan dillandu Barillas dilla deiaduu badaba daga daga daga daga dujaduu Badu dubi dubi dubi dejaduu Badaba dillas dillan dejaduu [Verse 4] Siellä oli lystiä soiton jäläkeen sain minä kerran sytkyyttee Kottiin ko mäntii ni ämmä se riitelj ja Ieva jo alako nyyhkyytteek Minä sanon Ievalle mitäpä se haittaa Laskemma vielähi laiasta laitaa [Refrain] Salivili hipput tupput täppyt äppyt tipput hilijalleen [Verse 5] Muorille sanon jotta tukkee suusi en ruppee sun terveyttäs takkoomaa Terveenä peäset ku korjoot luusi ja määt siitä murjuus makkoomaa Ei tätä poikoo hellyys haittaa Ko akkoja huhkii laiasta laitaan [Refrain] Salivili hipput tupput täppyt äppyt tipput hilijalleen [Verse 6] Sen minä sanon jotta purra pittää ei mua niin voan nielasta Suat männä ite vaikka lännestä ittään vaan minä en luovu Ievasta Sillä ei tätä poikoo kainous haittaa Sillon ko tanssii laiasta laitaan [Refrain] Salivili hipput tupput täppyt äppyt tipput hilijalleen and here is the English lyric: You could hear the beat of polka coming from the neighbors It made my feet titillated.

IEVAN POLKKA - THE STORY The storyteller is a young lad, who has a crush on a girl named Ieva (a Savonian version of Eeva, the Finnish Eva). The couple wants to dance together, no matter what. It’s a story about affection and the importance of dancing. There is a sound of polka rhythm drifting from the neighbour (it might be Ieva’s house where people have gathered to dance). The lad says his feet long for dance. Ieva has her mother guarding her, but Ieva fools her and gets to dance with the lad. He’s saying: ”We don’t care about any restrictions when we are dancing all over the floor”. Ieva is smiling widely as people wish her good luck. Everybody has their hair wet from sweating on the dance floor, and the fiddle is howling and wailing. In the end the lad says: ”I don’t mind being wet when dancing to and fro”. Well, now Ieva’s mother is singing hymns in her own room (she probably didn’t like the idea of having a ball in her house). In the meantime the lad is wooing Ieva in the room next door (having a break from dancing). And the lad says that he doesn’t care about what any old women say as long as he can dance. ”We had fun after the dancing, and I got to canoodle once”. When they get home, Ieva’s mother is angry and Ieva starts to weep. The lad says: ”I told Ieva that it doesn’t matter and we’ll be dancing again”. The lad continues: ”I told the mother: you shut your mouth, or else I won’t guarantee your health. You’ll stay healthy if you grab your bones and have a rest in your room”. He also tells that he doesn’t care for being so gentle when he’s taking the ladies all over the dance floor. The lad is speaking to Ieva’s mother: ”I’ll tell you, you need to chew, ’cause I’m not to be swallowed just like that. (meaning that he won’t give up easily.) You can go from east to west, but I’m not giving up Ieva.” And he continues: ”For this lad doesn’t care for being too modest, when dancing to and fro”.

@@pexlinaytan207 From the neighbour's the polka rhythm was calling The bottoms of my feet were tingling Eva's mother was guarding her daughter, But Eva managed to fool her for no forbidden will stand in our way. (Then there's would be the nonsense part[Salivili hipput tupput täppy / äppy tupput hilijalleen.], but that can be actually interpreted as; the room was bustling with people, dancing quietly.

1st: Old 2nd: Acapella 3rd: Vocaloid 4th: Remix 5th: A blind man that sing with drum in public Édit: thanks to each of the comments correcting me that Miku was not an anime
@@arthurneddysmith I did not copy it, it’s probably similar to a comment YOU saw. And plus many other people commented something like this on the other videos.
Admittedly, I initially thought this was just another Hatsune Miku song. Hell, I did not even know the "leek spin" meme prior to that. I was so surprised when I found out the song is actually dated WAY back in the 1920s in some place of Finland. Memes are truly a great way of distributing knowledge other than just entertainment.
Imagine what those finns in the fifties enjoying this song would think of it's current rise to worldwide fame, absolutely wild. Or going even further back to the original creator of the song, crazy to think about.
i remember this song but since it became so famous on internet i didnt realize it was from the finns i thought it was originally from a different country because of the miku song versions xd but last year i realized that its from finland and im finnish
@@bit-gx5qb Bro? Finland never had Kola, and never became a soviet puppet like Poland or Romania. Finland was just forbidden to have submarines, to join nato or to recieve Marhall aid. Also the fact that the soviets lost so many troop only to gain land, and not to annex finland, like was the plan, means Finland won the defensive war.
I think Miku version come after that Japanese talent show singer who sing original finnish version but “highlight” refrain what may sound little bit like that Miku version when someone who not speak finnish as a native language 😅 I still think all other versions are pretty insulting for original version and Japanese version mostly because they start this all and never ever tell where they take song or try even make it be close original..
From Finnish folk song, to one of the most memorable aspects of Japanese anime culture, to a blind Turkish bloke's (and his cat's) rise to global meme fame Truly, a song that spans across the globe.
Someone should make an animated video or something of the songs original story, complete with Ieva's mom twirling a leek, a guy playing a drum in the streets, and Ieva dancing while in the background, armed soldiers ride to the capital for a military coup.
this is what I love about music as a whole. no matter what happens in the world. no matter what war or hate, there will always be the one connection. Music. It will always connect us all even without understanding lyrics. Just a beat can have everyone regardless of language or race or whatever, will have everyone nodding their heads to it. I find that to be truly beautiful.
What's interesting to me is the universality of the humor of this particular ditty! In the oldest video have the same reaction of delight, good humor, and amusement that this song has inspired worldwide!
Finland is filled with forrests, lakes, saunas, knives and Koskenkorva. Well, that's what the rumors from the seventies say😉😂 Seriously, Finland IS beautiful, with forrests and lakes and lakes and more lakes. And people rarely give you sored ears by talking endlessly, non-stop about anything or nothing.
Wouldn't have been amiss to include the original Orihime leek spin, at least as a mention. It was certainly crucial in the "evolution" into the miku era.
He is Bilal Göregen. He is blind from birth and we met him first time in “Turkey’s got talent”. He was singing his own songs with playing “darbuka” and he finished 2nd place. (Turkish people think he must be 1st) And after nearly 10 years he started uploading videos on UA-cam. He is still singing his own songs and he writes them with meanless words. He became viral in Turkey in 2018 again and after “cat vibing levan polkka” video he becomes viral in world. He is a “success story”
By the way, there's a page for Otomania (creator of Miku's polkka) on Spotify with the only thing uploaded a version of ievan polkka but Miku is singing in correct Finnish. I never saw anyone talk about this version. I never found it anywhere else either. What
The version I heard was that a 'young stag' wanted to bring a girl to the dance and that her mom didn't want her go. Think magic man, by heart(?) And the bit that everyone knows is actually just addlibbing nonsense

This version later became an internet meme around 2006 when it was used in looping flash animation called “leek spin
The lyrics are written in strong Eastern Savonian dialect and tells a story of a girl named Eeva who sneaks away to a polka party.
this is the original lyric:
Verse 1]
Nuapurista kuulu se polokan tahti jalakani pohjii kutkutti
Ievan äiti se tyttöösä vahti vaan kyllähän Ieva sen jutkutti
Sillä ei meitä silloin kiellot haittaa
Kun myö tanssimme laiasta laitaan
[Refrain]
Salivili hipput tupput täppyt äppyt tipput hilijalleen
[Verse 2]
Ievan suu oli vehnäsellä ko immeiset onnee toevotti
Peä oli märkänä jokaisella ja viulu se vinku ja voevotti
Ei tätä poikoo märkyys haittaa
Sillon ko laskoo laiasta laitaan
[Refrain]
Salivili hipput tupput täppyt äppyt tipput hilijalleen
[Verse 3]
Ievan äiti se kammarissa virsiä veisata huijjuutti
Kun tämä poika naapurissa ämmän tyttöä nuijjuutti
Eikä tätä poikoo ämmät haittaa
Sillon ko laskoo laiasta laitaan
[Refrain]
Salivili hipput tupput täppyt äppyt tipput hilijalleen
[Bridge]
Hilipati hilipati hilipati hillaa
Hilipati hilipati hilipampaa
Jalituli jallaa talituli jallaa
Tilitali tilitali tilitantaa
Hilipati hillaa hilipati hillaa
Hilipati hilipati jalituli jallaa
Tilitali tallaa, tulituli jallaa
Hilipati hilipati hilipampaa
Rimpatirillaa ripirapirullaa

[Verse 4]
Siellä oli lystiä soiton jäläkeen sain minä kerran sytkyyttee
Kottiin ko mäntii ni ämmä se riitelj ja Ieva jo alako nyyhkyytteek
Minä sanon Ievalle mitäpä se haittaa
Laskemma vielähi laiasta laitaa
[Refrain]
Salivili hipput tupput täppyt äppyt tipput hilijalleen
[Verse 5]
Muorille sanon jotta tukkee suusi en ruppee sun terveyttäs takkoomaa

[Refrain]
Salivili hipput tupput täppyt äppyt tipput hilijalleen
and here is the English lyric:
You could hear the beat of polka coming from the neighbors
It made my feet titillated.
The mother of Ieva was keeping an eye on her daughter,
But Ieva did fool her for prohibitions don't matter
When dancing to the full.
(Nonsense;last word of this phrase means
"slowly")
Ieva was grinning widely
When people were giving their best wishes.
Every one was sweating
And that violin kept screeching and mourning.
Wetness doesn't bother this guy
When going all out.
(nonsense again)
Mother of Ieva was
humming hymns in the chamber,
When this guy was verging the wive's girl
In the neighbor.
Wives don't bother this guy
When dancing to the full.
(nonsense)
There was fun after the playing
I once managed to grab her in my arms.
When going home that witch was arguing
And Ieva started grying.
I told Ieva what's the matter
We will fall across the board again.
(nonsense)
I tell the granny to shut her mouth
So I won't ruin her health.
You'll get away in full health if you get the fuck out
And go lie to you base.
Gentleness ain't bothering this guy
When bitches are all around the place.
(nonsense)
I must say
You can't swallow me without chewing.
You may go from west to east
But I ain't giving up Ieva,
For modesty ain't bothering this guy
When dancing to the full.

As most of these words on that can be traced back to now days Finnish language like Sali[room], vili/vilistä [swarm, bustle] and hil(i)jalleen [Quietly, without a sound, Secretly].)
Eva's mouth was grinning wildly,
As people were congratulation her.
Everyone's head was wet from sweat
And the violin whined and wailed
This lad isn't bothered by the wetness
As he whirls around.
(Nonsense part uwu)
Eva's mother in her room hymned to herself.
As this lad was at the neighbour's
Nailing the old hags daughter,
For this lad isn't bothered by old hags
As he whirls all around
(Nonsense part)
There was fun after the music
i once managed to grab in my arms
As we went home the old hag had a row
And Eva started sobbing
I said to Eva, don't mind it,
And we fall across the board again to whirl around
(Nonsense part)
I tell the hag to shut her mouth,
Or i won't be responsible for what I do,
You''ll get to keep it if you hold your tongue
And to go away to sulk by yourself
This lad doesn't care for being gentle,
When old hags all drudge around
One thing I must tell you,
you can't swallow me so easily without chewing
You may travel from west to east,
Still i won't give Eva up
For this lad doesn't care for modesty,
As he dances all around.

That's roughly the translation of the full Finnish lyrics that all are the same in Finnish when it comes to the full songs of this video. ^^

It's so ironic how out of everything in the Loituma version, Miku chose the gibberish bridge that meant absolutely nothing.
I think Miku version come after that Japanese talent show singer who sing original finnish version but “highlight” refrain what may sound little bit like that Miku version when someone who not speak finnish as a native language 😅 I still think all other versions are pretty insulting for original version and Japanese version mostly because they start this all and never ever tell where they take song or try even make it be close original..

imagine just walking along the park, and this dude just sitting there lighting the drum up and howling his heart out.. man what a show
this is what I love about music as a whole. no matter what happens in the world. no matter what war or hate, there will always be the one connection. Music. It will always connect us all even without understanding lyrics. Just a beat can have everyone regardless of language or race or whatever, will have everyone nodding their heads to it. I find that to be truly beautiful.
The guys were laughing then just as much as we are now. Ageless....
I think they were laughing at the lyrics, because they are actually quite funny
in the final clip, the guy shows absolute talent.
He can move his hands extremely fast. He can manage to sound like 10 different instruments! Awesome! All credits to this guy!
What’s also amazing is he is blind

Wouldn't have been amiss to include the original Orihime leek spin, at least as a mention. It was certainly crucial in the "evolution" into the miku era.
He is Bilal Göregen. He is blind from birth and we met him first time in “Turkey’s got talent”. He was singing his own songs with playing “darbuka” and he finished 2nd place. (Turkish people think he must be 1st) And after nearly 10 years he started uploading videos on UA-cam. He is still singing his own songs and he writes them with meanless words. He became viral in Turkey in 2018 again and after “cat vibing levan polkka” video he becomes viral in world. He is a “success story”
I love him more now
By the way, there's a page for Otomania (creator of Miku's polkka) on Spotify with the only thing uploaded a version of ievan polkka but Miku is singing in correct Finnish. I never saw anyone talk about this version. I never found it anywhere else either. What
I can't understand a single word but when i liisten this music everytime i enjoy a lot ,just woooowww❤😍
Don't translate the first version............ it has mentions of b!tch
This song is about an young girl was chased by an older man, doing some some bed romance but the girls mother didnt like what they're doing.
The version I heard was that a 'young stag' wanted to bring a girl to the dance and that her mom didn't want her go. Think magic man, by heart(?) And the bit that everyone knows is actually just addlibbing nonsense
