Levan Polka — Background music of 16 Puasa

I was watching a Malay telemovie (drama) on Facebook. It was a 2 years ago movie while few of the actors are still alive. The title is 16 Puasa. Here is the link to it https://www.facebook.com/Paritbuntaq/videos/247833573031185/

One of the background music was so familiar. Searching for it and I found penguin dance. But still, the lyrics do not seem to match with the background music. 

Luckily I have Shazam Apps (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.shazam.android&hl=en)

and the search by Shazam brings me to these original penguin songs. It was by Loituma and the song name is Levas Polka (hope I got it right).

Why I like the song very much .. one of the part make me laugh when tried to say it 

“Kun myö tanssimme laiasta laitaan
Salivili hipput tupput täppyt
Äppyt tipput hilijalleen”

Hahaha.. put tupput…

Here is the full lyrics

Ievan Polkka

Loituma

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 tupput täppyt
Äppyt tipput hilijalleen

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 tupput täppyt
Äppyt tipput hilijalleen

Hilipati hilipati hilipati hillaa,
Hilipati hilipati hilipampaa
Jalituli…

Enjoy the song…

There is always a blessing in disguise in everything that happens to us. Allah does not make it happen if there is nothing we can learn (or someone can learn from it). Everything happens for a reason. Either we realize, ignore or simply can’t see it.

So Stay Calm .. Stay Cool .. Fill the time with good things as you will never know when you will have the opportunity again.

May ALLAH save us all and grant us Jannah. InsyaAllah.
