Eva's Polka

The rhythm of polka sounded from next door
The soles of my feet were itching to go
Eva's mother was guarding her daughter
But Eva sure tricked her:
Because we don't care about bans
When we are dancing from one side of the room to the other
 
Eva was grinning widely
When people congratulated her
Everyone's heads were wet with sweat
And the violin was whining and wailing
This boy doesn't mind wetness
When we are dancing from one side of the room to the other
 
Eva's mother, in the chamber
Was singing hymns
While this boy, in the neighbor's house
Was leading the old wife's daughter in a dance
And this boy doesn't mind old wives
When dancing from one side of the room to the other
And this boy doesn't mind old wives
When dancing from one side of the room to the other
 
In the room, fun ensued the music
I got to fool around a bit
When we went home, the old wife started bickering
And Eva started to cry
I told Eva, what does it matter
We will dance from side to side again
I told Eva, what does it matter
We will dance from side to side again
 
To the old wife I said, shut your mouth
Or I won't guarantee your well-being
But you will be let off in good health if you collect your bones
And go to your rathole to lay down and sleep
This boy doesn't mind sweet tenderness
While he works the ladies from side to side
 
This I tell you: You must chew me up
I'm not that easily swallowed
I don't mind if you go from west to east
But I won't give Eva up
For this boy doesn't mind modest bashfulness
While we dance from side to side
Salivili-hipput-tupput-täppyt-äppyt-tipput
Slowly now

Another translation - not mine, not literal, with rhymes:
 
The sound of a polka drifted from my neighbor's
And set my feet a-tapping oh!
Ieva's mother had her eye on her daughter but
Ieva she managed to fool her, you know.
'Cause who's going to listen to mother saying no
When we're all busy dancing to and fro!
 
Ieva was smiling, the fiddle it was wailing
As people crowded round to wish her luck.
Everyone was hot but it didn't seem to bother
The handsome young man, the dashing buck.
'Cause who's going to mind a drop of sweat
When he's all busy dancing to and fro!
 
Ieva's mother she shut herself away
In her own quiet room to hum a hymn.
Leaving our hero to have a spot of fun
In a neighbor's house when the lights are dim.
'Cause what does it matter what the old folks say
When you're all busy dancing to and fro!
 
When the music stopped then the real fun began
And that's when the laddie fooled around.
When he took her home, when the dancing was over
Her mother angrily waiting they found.
But I said to her, Ieva, now don't you weep
And we'll soon be dancing to and fro!
 
I said to her mother now stop that noise
Or I won't be responsible for what I do.
If you go quietly and stay in your room
You won't get hurt while your daughter I woo.
'Cause this fine laddie is a wild sort of guy
When he's all busy dancing to and fro!
 
One thing I tell you is you won't trap me,
No, you won't find me an easy catch.
Travel to the east and travel to the west but
Ieva and I are going to make a match.
'Cause this fine laddie ain't the bashful sort
When he's all busy dancing to and fro
