English translation
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 forbiddance will stand in our way,
When we dance all around
Eva's mouth was smiling widly,
As people were congratulating her
Everyone's head was wet from sweat
And the violin whined and wailed
This gal doesn't care for being modest,
As she whirls all around
Eva's mother was in her chambers,
muttering a psalm to herself
As this lad was at the neighbour's
Nailing the old hag's daughter
For this lad isn't bothered by old hags
As he whirls all around
There was fun after the music
I made it flame up once
As we went home this hag had a row
And Eva started sobbing
I said to Eva, don't mind it,
We'll still whirl all around
To the mother I said, so she would shut up,
I can't guarantee your health
You'll get to keep it by holding your tongue
And go away to sulk by yourself
This gal doesn't care for modesty,
When old hags drudge all around
I'll say this, that you'll have to work
For you can't get me so easily
You may go from west to east,
Still I won't let go of Eva
For this gal doesn't care for modesty,
As he dances all around

I have ZERO idea why I can't stop listening to this song in all of it's many versions. I can't understand a word, but the tune is absolutely infectious. I will be humming it for the next 5 hours now, I'm sure.

Tell me about it. My football team, Stabæk played a match in Finland and while playing a video for the fans on the bus going to Finland, they played this song in the background. I just had to get it immediately, so I contacted Ubuntu Finland and asked them what it was, but they didn't know, so they used their networks and someone's mother recognized it. Finally, I got the CD, but then I was hooked so I had to learn how to sing it even though I can't speak a word of Finnish. Once I had that nailed according to Finnish people I came to meet and present it to, I had to make guitar for it. Now I can play my own version and people say it's perfectly intelligible, but I still have no clue what I'm singing about. It's amazing how hooked you can get on this thing. I started in 2009, I think. What is it now, 2035 or something? :)

You all sound incredible. I'm so glad to have stumbled upon your music and am now a big fan. Listening to your music and watching you perform brings a big smile to my face.
Memo to self: if ever in Finland, do not eat the mushrooms. Weird stuff will happen.
i watched the balcony video over and over. glad to find this came out just yesterday!
I just discovered you and I'm sooook hyped already! Your cover is now my favorite ever 💕 I especially love the singer with the purple shirt and just how much ENERGY she throws in her parts. Everybody is so great aaaah. Thank you for making my day better!
This makes me want to learn Finnish so much. So beautiful
I’m obsessed this song. And I’m even more in love with you ladies doing your cover version😍 thank you for sharing💛
The only thing I could make up from the subtitles was "freestyle". Love the vocals though
Love from Brazil. Found you guys on reddit and am already listening to you on spotify daily haha. Thanks for the good energy!
Finally a satisfying translation along with an amazing performance! Thank you so much!
Your previous Ievan Polkka video is saved on my phone & I also can't stop listening to this version. I just love it how your expressions & outfits in previous & this video are so different & all of you rock them so gracefully! Previously, you were looking so feminine & totally ladies, and here you are, looking total chic & colourful! I also love how you appreciate your fans! I wish I can enjoy your concert soon!
Wonderful! Congrats! 👏🏼🤗

I didn't listen yet your previous versions of Ievan Polka but this one is brilliant, vigorous and beautiful
I;ve wanted to visit Finland for the longest time for various reasons. Add meeting the ladies of Tuuletar into that mix. Awesome work ladies.
the most beautiful Ievan polkka I've listened to thank you x)
I've listened to a lot of your music. I don't understand the language but I like your original style .
Really digging the fluorescent colours and the more aggressive tone these beautiful girls are coming with lately! Keep it up!
Wonderfully joyous! I love how you get into acting out the parts.
This is absolutely magic. You are all so talented and vibrant and entertaining. I love this song and your version is fantastic, thank you.
The best even got better! The legends are now mythic!
I used to know this song but I totally forgot as it was years ago so I listened to this and it helped me remember the lyrics! Thanks!
You guys seriously need to upload more. Tired of waiting for more videos haha!
Aaah I listened to this song from 2018 SO MANY TIMES Tuuletar is amazing, and thanks for putting out this version :3
Lol can you imagine the person decades (maybe centuries) ago who was living their life somewhere in the middle of Finland who wrote this song, did they ever imagine it would turn into something huge and _worldwide_ in the 21st century?
Один из самых впечатляющих каверов, который я встречала 🤩
PERKELE! Om kunde jag gilla det här 3 gånger, då skulle jag göra det! Tack flickor! Bra gjort! Och nu jag lysnar på er och vill tansa. Den bästa versionen den som har jag hört!

Fantastic!! 🤩 So beautiful to hear it!!!💃🤗
I've been waiting for this so long I recommended your first video until it got viral in my country "rakastan sinua" all
You should record this song in high quality, probably in a studio.
Alien : "What language is this ?" Human: "Dude, I thought this was your language !" I saw this a while ago, them singing from a balcony. It sounded like an important message that I didn't understand ("Tukkee Suus!"). But now... At last ! With the help of these lyrics, I can finally oh hell naw still don't understand one bit :p

"Tukkee suus" (tuki suusi) meaning "shut up your mouth". But "tukkia" means you can obstruct with hand your mouth or something. If you speak everything what you thinking. This is example, how hard language is spoken language.

I always figured that the "Salivili hipput tupput..." was kind of Finnish jibberish, I was very much mistaken.
fact: you tried to use the lyrics to sing along but you summoned a demon in the process because you're like me and you can't sing
I love that I have absolutely no idea what they're saying but am totally in love with the sound of the words. Music knows no language.

Some parts are mostly onomatopoetic, like "salivilihipput tipput tapput äppyt tipput hiljallleen" The last word "hiljalleen" is the only word in the sentence that means something, the rest is onomatopetic with no meaning. Other parts of the song tell a normal story.
