Eva's Polka

The song is called Eva's Polka, a Finnish song originally written in the 1930's. It gained fame and became well-known around the world (but not to me) during the spring of 2006 through the flash animation Loituma Girl. Lyrics are sung in savo, a Finnish dialect, and speak the story of a man who wants to dance polka with a girl, but is met by her mother's refusal.

حرام عليكي

حرام عليكي، حسي شوي

ما بيستاهل تقسي علي

شفنا حالو

قلنا مالو

قامو قالوبحب خطي

... بحبك، لا تقسي علي

*****

حرام عليكي، حسي شوي

عا حالو قلقان الحي

حلمو مركب

انتي بحرو

... نشفتي بيبحرو المي

... بحبك لا تقسي خطي

*****

حرام عليكي، طلي علي

تعبان ومش لاقي في

عيونو العتمة

عيونك ضي

خلي الحب يضوي الليل

و يقولو يا محلا الضي

كرمالي

ابتسميلو شوي
