This song has an enchantig power over me. It can calm me down and give me energy, help me to focus and write.

I can’t stand all the stupid remix versions, I love the one in sardinian language, from Balentes wich respect the original spirit; I also like Kuunkuiskaajat interpretation.

“Ievan Polkka” or “Ievan Polokka” (Savo Finnish for “Eva’s Polka”) is a popular Finnish song with lyrics written in the early 1930s by Eino Kettunen to a traditional Finnish polka tune.

The song takes the point of view of a young man. He wants to dance with Ieva (Eva or Eeva in Savo), but her mother won’t let him. They sneak away to someone else’s house, where everyone is dancing to a polka, and dance all night. When he follows her home, her angry mother is waiting for them, but he tells her straight out that Ieva and he will be together no matter what.
