I don’t know if this is true, but I was told that it had something to do with defying your parents.

Nonetheless, I rather like the song myself.

Answer #3

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.
