• IEVAN POLKKA 2021 by L...
EDIT: I added the STORY IN ENGLISH! :-)
Huikeatunnelmaisen 50-vuotisjuhlakonserttini huippuhetkiä oli esittää rakkaan Loituman kanssa Ievan polkka. Kiitos, upeat Anita, Sari ja Timo kaikista näistä vuosista! :-) Ja kiitos Jarmo Romppaselle kuvaamisesta!
This clip is from one of the most precious moments of my 50th birthday concert in Nov 2019. Thank you Anita, Sari and Timo for all these years! Thanks also to Jarmo Romppanen for shooting and editing this! Now, everybody, have fun! :-)
Ievan polkka is a traditional Finnish melody with original lyrics by Eino Kettunen and additional lyrics by Loituma. Polka is a folk dance and Ieva is the Savonian (Eastern Finnish dialect) version of the name Eeva (Eva).
Esiintyjät vasemmalta oikealle / The performers from left to right:
Sari Kauranen, Anita Lehtola-Tollin, Timo Väänänen and Hanni Autere
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”.
LYRICS (in Finnish)
by Eino Kettunen
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 täppyt
äppyt tipput hilijalleen.
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.
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…
Improvised solo
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 laitaan.
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
Ko 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…

Makes me want to learn Finnish just because the language sounds so complex and fun
=) Well, this is not the regular Finnish, it's the dialect from eastern part of the country.
The Grammar is a handful, and if your mother tongue is English, the phonetics probably as well. Most central Europeans don't have a problem with the phonetics, but English has shifted and limited its vowels so much that other languages can become difficult.
Aaand still... One of the best things the internet has ever brought us! Glad to see these guys are still out there doing their thing!
