    The whole song! I hope you enjoy practising this with me. I thought you might like it like this, so I left a couple of bars between all the verses, so there’s time to breath for a while and prepare for the next verse.
    Thank you so much for joining with me on this journey of cutting the song into very small pieces and opening the meaning of the story along with the words and syllables. I’m so happy to think that there are so many people around the world singing this song and enjoying music and the special connection between other humans on this Earth through music. I’m also very proud of all of you who have the energy and time to try and learn this! I so much wish I could hear you singing, and see you dancing and smiling! =)
    Your feedback has been very important to me and always will. Love you all! Stay safe and stay tuned! I’m not going to stop here! =)
    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. (Not sure, but maybe ’cause they had noticed the young fine lad being interested in her and people look at her with an implying gaze.) 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”. (It’s not obvious what Kettunen is saying here, but he alludes presumably to making love somewhere.) 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”

    After years loving it, I've decided to learn Ievan polka. I've started today. What a phonological nightmare... For the moment, the only bit I can sing properly is "Salivili hipput tupput tapput
    äppyt tipput hilijalleen.". But I won't give up. Because that song's worth the pain. (I do think it.) I want to express my admiration to people who managed to learn Ievan polka, and wish good luck to those who are considering it.

    Here are the lyrics, so you can follow the text easier in advance.
    IEVAN POLKKA (Finnish lyrics by Eino Kettunen)
    (Improvised solo by Hanni Autere)
    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.
    Salivili hipput tupput tapput
    äppyt tipput hilijalleen.
    Ievan suu oli vehnäsellä
    Ko immeiset onnee toevotti.
    Peä oli märkänä jokaisella
    Ja viulu se vonku ja voevotti.
    Ei tätä poikoo märkyys haittaa
    Sillon ko laskoo laiasta laitaan.
    Salivili hipput…
    Ievan äiti se kammarissa
    Virsiä veisata huijjuutti,
    Kun tämä poika naapurissa
    ämmän tyttöä nuijjuutti.
    Eikä tätä poikoo ämmät haittaa
    Sillon ko laskoo laiasta laitaan.
    Salivili hipput…
    Hilipati hilipati hilipati hillaa
    Hilipati hilipati hilipampaa
    Jalituli jallaa talituli jallaa
    Tilitali tilitali tilitantaa
    Halituli jallaa tilituli tallaa
    Tilitili tilitili tilitili tallaa
    Halituli tilitali jallati jallan
    Tilitali talitali heli lantaa
    Rimpati rallaa ripirapi rallaa
    Rumpati ruppa ripirampuu
    Jakka rittaa rippari lapalan
    Tulituli lallan tipirantuu
    Jatsa tsappari dikkari dallan
    Dittari dillan ditsdan dullaa
    Dipidapi dallaa ruppati rupiran
    Kurikan kukka ja kirikan kuu
    Ratsatsaa ja dipidapi dillapi
    ritsdan dillan dillan duuaba
    dippat daaba dippa diiba diibi
    Diibi biidi disten dillan duu
    Jaaba dilla stillan deia duua daava
    Daava daava duuvu duuvu duuvjavuu
    Badistan dillan stillan duuva daiga
    Daiga daiga duu duu deijadoo
    Siellä oli lystiä soiton jäläkeen
    Sain minä kerran sytkyyttee.
    Kottiin ko mäntii ni ämmä se riitelj’
    Ja Ieva jo alako nyyhkyyttee.
    Minä sanon Ievalle mitäpä se haittaa
    Laskemma vielähi laiasta laitaa.
    Salivili hipput…
    Muorille sanon jotta tukkee suusi
    En ruppee sun terveyttäs takkoomaan.
    Terveenä peäset ku korjoot luusi
    Ja määt siitä murjuus makkoomaan.
    Ei tätä poikoo hellyys haittaa
    Ku akkoja huhkii laiasta laitaan.
    Salivili hipput…
    Sen minä sanon jotta purra pittää
    Ei mua niin vuan nielasta.
    Suat männä ite vaikka lännestä ittään
    Vuan minä en luovu Ievasta,
    Sillä ei tätä poikoo kainous haittaa
    Sillon ko tanssii laiasta laitaan.
    Salivili hipput…

    I believe these times of the pandemic have brought two much better viruses on YT and TikTok; 'The Wellerman', thanks to a young Scottish singer/musician Nathan Evans, who put a video on TikTok, and loads of people used that as base and added song and instruments.
    Ievan polkka is the other one.
    IF anyone possibly could tell me 1. How did it become a vocaliod's song in Japan? How did it get there? I think it was dancing around in South Korea as well 🤔
    2. HOW DID IT END UP IN TURKEY, with the musician, drummer, Bilal Göregen???
    Anyway, his drumming (a single hand drum!) and, yeah, hm, sort of singing, made success, reached South African musician 'The Kiffness' (David Scott, almost some irony in that? What is it with the Scots these days 😂?) who made an amazing re-mix, him playing synthesizer and trumpet, addition of a saxophone and violin, played by musicians from other countries, and "The Vibing Cat" (which happens to be Canadian).
    This spread like wild fire (if one dares to use that word nowadays!), there's an uncountable number of versions out there now. Try google 'Ievan Polkka'! This is what I call "go viral" 😂 😂!
    Some people have made loops of both Kiff's re-mix and other, some based on Kiff's, up to, what I know, TEN HOURS!
    Ten hours of Ievan Polkka, a blind, Turkish street musician and a South African musician who works miracles on his mini synth. A follow of other musicians from all over the world, Kiff's wife dancing (not polka though!) and a vibing, white, Canadian cat!
    This is what The Internet was built for!!! To connect people all over the world! ❤️❤️❤️

    I used to search for folk songs from many countries as a hobby when I was a teen. I also learnt the lyrics. I remember well how I learnt Swedish, German, Russian, Danish, and some of your Finnish songs with Loituma.
    It took me months to even memorize some parts of Ievan Polkka! 😂 and today I barely remember anything but if I see the written text like here, I remember how to sing it with all the tones and pauses. I never thought back then, 15 years ago, that one day we’d have the luxury to have you guide us through this song! I am truly grateful of YT for bringing us closer to artists like you 💕 you are a beautiful woman and I will admire you and Loituma my entire life. Hopefully our children will also enjoy folk music like yours. They do seem to respect it and like it already but they are quite small yet :)
