"Säkkijärven Polkka" - Finnish Folk Song 

Understanding:0% Enjoying:1000%

I can't imagine how many times that guy must have sang that song before he could do it without messing up, it goes so fast!

The Finnish language scrambles minds and this Finnish song scrambles mines.

For a non-Finn, the pronunciation is unusually excellent. There are a few words that reveal that the singer is not a Finnish speaker, but about 95% of the song a native couldn't tell the difference. Astonishing.

"Vladimir, Why is the snow speaking Finnish?"

you will feel it all very well when you breathe in the wild Finnish air

Fun fact: During the Continuation War, this song was broadcasted to jam and detonate Soviet radio-controlled mines. It could do so because of the frequency at which it was being played.

During soviet retreats in the Continuation War, the Soviets left radio mines on bridges and roads to sabotage finnish advances. These mines would be triggered by recon units observing the finnish units by playing three destinct tones over radio, telling the bombs to detonate. The Finns, however, quickly learned that blasting this song on every radio frequency 24/7 would stop these bombs from working, which is why Säkkijärven Polkka was the only thing you could hear on all channels for months on end, and why soviet veterans of this war have major PTSD from it lol

"They are so many and we are so few, how are we gonna bury them all?"

Fun fact: Finland is the country with the most lakes in Europe!

0:53 I love that they just causally out of nowhere roast a horse.

During the Continuation war, the Finnish military discovered that the retreating Soviets had scattered radio-guided mines throughout the recaptured city of Vaipuri. These mines were activated when a three-note chord was played on the frequency to which the radio was tuned. The Finns discovered that when they played the Säkkijärven polkka tune on the same radio frequency on which the mines were set, they exploded and thus the tune was used as a kind of "mine bank". The most famous and historically used tune is a recording made on June 17, 1939 with members of the Dalfa Orchestra. The recording took place in the ballroom of the German School in Helsinki. The recording became not only the savior of Vipuri, but also the most famous performance of the Säkkijärven polka of all time.

Greetings from Finland my friends 🇫🇮❤️ Have a good day and enjoy this beautiful song 🎵👍

I was obsessed with this song when I was younger, I even learnt it on piano! Much love 🇬🇷💙🇫🇮

Never did I ever think that I would live with Sakrijarvrn Polkka referred to as a "Revanchist Song", but it does make sense.

"What? We didn't fight for the Nazis! The Nazis fought for us!" -Finland, probably

Welcome in Finland, we're glad to have you with us 🇩🇪❤️🇫🇮

Even if Finland didn't join NATO they would still manage to hold the Russians off themselves.

Greatest song ever. Love this from Japan 🇯🇵❤️🇫🇮🇳🇴

Никогда так эпично не тащил за финляндию в хойке

Finlands sak är vår 🇸🇪❤️🇫🇮

You know it's Finnish when the words have four dots above them in a row

*The snow is speaking Finnish.*

Everything best for Finland! From Poland! First Denmark Iceland Norway Then Finland And next Sweden!

When DNA test says you're 1% Finnish

"Sir, the Soviets have invaded us with a massive army" "Damn that's terrible. For them."

welcome to nato, fellow finnic brother. 🇪🇪❤️🇫🇮

Oh boy. Man, Ingen gives us great timing for stuff like this. I've been waiting years for him to upload this.

This song was my favorite Finnish song after "Njet, Molotoff". I love your videos and this version is amazing! 🇦🇿❤🇫🇮

I played this on an iPhone, it now is a *_NOKIA_*

My grandfather always said not to trust the West, he fought in the war and had the village destroyed by the Ivans, we were abandoned by England and I hope it doesn't happen again. "Koko onnemme kalpamme kärjessä on"

Greetings from Greece 🇬🇷 🤝🏻 🇫🇮

I showed this to a ww2 Russian veteran and now he liked the song so much that he were doing his cool dance on the floor

It’s my birthday today and an ingen upload is like a birthday present in itself tbh

Love Finland from France ❤️🇫🇷🇫🇮❤

About time! :D

Polish Translation (not 100% accurate, as I changed some things to make it sound better) Kraj Karelii to tylko piękne wspomnienie, ale muzyczka dalej gra od serca, Gdy od muzykanta usłyszysz, Polkke o Sakkijarvi! Owa Polka stare czasy przypomina, I tęsknote za tą ziemią przypomina, Hej, nasz grajku, zagraj na akordeonie, Polkke o Sakkijarvi! Rwie starego i młodego do tańca, nie pobije jej żadna inna polkka, Z nią zawsze życie szczęśćliwsze. Polkka o Sakkijarvi! Można uwidzięć piękne fale morza, ma także wiatry wiejące przez drzewa, nasza stara Karelia gra, każdy to wie, Polkke o Sakkijarvi! Choć dziewko ma, zatańczmy sobie, Bo ta polkka tak pięknie i delikatnie gra, Hej, niech koń lamentuje i niechaj też uzde gryzie, bo ma głowe za dużą! Choć dziewko ma, potańczmy sobie, bądźmy szczęśćliwi w tej letniej pogodzie, może i straciliśmy Sakkijarvi, ale dalej mamy tą polkke! Gdy opuścilśmy nasze stare plaże, pustelnik w obcych miejscach pokój znajduje, gdy słucha tej melancholinej pieśni, Polkki o Sakkijarvi! Jest to, co prawda, tylko polkka ale polkka która nam przypomina, o starej Karelii opowiada, Polkka o Sakkijarvi! Rwie starego i młodego do tańca, nie pobije jej żadna inna polkka, Z nią zawsze życie szczęśćliwsze. Polkka o Sakkijarvi! Można uwidzięć piękne fale morza, ma także wiatry wiejące przez drzewa, nasza stara Karelia gra, każdy to wie, Polkke o Sakkijarvi! Choć dziewko ma, zatańczmy sobie, Bo ta polkka tak pięknie i delikatnie gra, Hej, niech koń lamentuje i niechaj też uzde gryzie, bo ma głowe za dużą! Choć dziewko ma, potańczmy sobie, bądźmy szczęśćliwi w tej letniej pogodzie, może i straciliśmy Sakkijarvi, ale dalej mamy tą polkke! Gdy opuścilśmy nasze stare plaże, pustelnik w obcych miejscach pokój znajduje, gdy słucha tej melancholinej pieśni, Polkki o Sakkijarvi! Jest to, co prawda, tylko polkka ale polkka która nam przypomina, o starej Karelii opowiada, Polkka o Sakkijarvi!

Love Finnish and Hungaric Brother from Azerbaijan 🇦🇿❤🇫🇮🇭🇺

Im Serbian and this makes me proud to be Finnish

You really have the best version of everything

I am glad you've found a rare variant of it, instead of posting the same as seemingly everyone else on the internet. The singer's accent is really interesting, do they have some sort of a notable background?

I don't know how many demons i summoned when i tried to sing this song

Love Finnland. Best greetings from Poland.

This song is an absolute banger

I've been waiting for this for so long

Respect dear brother from norvegr❤🇫🇮🇧🇻

You see me, normal, but inside my brain I'm all SÄKKIJÄRVEN POLKKA

I love Finland. Snowy country, beautiful people. Greetings from Canada. Welcome to NATO!

Не так страшен глубокий снег, как снег который начинает говорить

Thank you Finland for doing your part to fight Bolshevism

Thank you, Ingen. Through your channel I've found some amazing yet unfortunately obscure songs. People think it's weird that I listen to such different and international songs but I'll be damned because you constantly release great tunes

this was the song I played when I first visited Finland because it's an absolute certified banger

Очень красивая песня!❤

6 of my family fought in this conflict for Finland and these songs fill me with immense pride.

Love Finland from Serbia! 🇫🇮❤️🇷🇸

top 4 things you dont wanna hear in war 1) when the hills start speaking turkish 2)when the trees speak vietnamese 3)when the oil rigs start speaking pure *FREEDOM* 🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅 4) *WHEN THE SNOW SPEAKS FINNISH*

I’ve been waiting a while for Ingen to do this song 🇬🇷❤️🇫🇮

As someone from the Soviet Union we liked this song and we would play this at times because we not only also spoke Finnish but also we just liked it

Стоп почему снег говорит на финском?.....

LETS GO! INGEN WITH THE BEST FINNISH SONG

I have the feeling this video will blow up fast *even faster then the defences of the reds*

Best version of Sakkijarven polkka i've heard

Finally Ingen uploaded this song

A pleasant surprise, Thank you Ingen! :)

yes! I've been waiting for this one!

amazing version, i love it

Uralic heroes of the North! Greetings from Brazil 🇧🇷🇫🇮

THIS IS JUST ART.

He's done the legendary Finnish song. This alliance marks the end of Russian conquest hopes.

wonderful rendition

My dad loved the instrumental of this song, I love it too, but we couldn't find this song in like... 8 years. My dad passed away and now I'm listening to this song, I'm very happy that I could achieve this goal at least

been a long time since ive heard this, still as good as ever.

As always, great work.

Слушал эту песню на улице, почему-то снег стал подпевать

Finnaly ingen published this banger respect from 🇵🇱♥️🇫🇮

This was made by Finnish-Americans. thats why the accent isnt finnish. the singer has some troubles with double consonants. great stuff! loads of finnish heritage in Minnesota and Michigan, i even have some myself ;)

Congratulations for your national holiday on 6th December Finland from your friends in Germany

The submachinegun seen at 1:13 is a Finnish KP-31. It's a submachinegun in 7.65x21 or 9mm which is the most common today. They're really cool and not super expensive compared to other submachineguns from the era.

I love how Finnish forces basically hacked Soviet Radio frequencies and would repeatedly play this to disrupt radio transmissions. I love this song

Let's go I've been waiting for Ingen to release Sakkijarven Polkka

The Finnish language scrambles minds, This Finnish song scrambles mines

Кто здесь после анонса Финской Польки от Paradox Games и ДЛС в которой она будет?

This song is on replay every day for an hour at least. I never loved a song that much!

one of the songs that actually saved lives

Well, this is one of my favourite stereotypical songs. Greetings from Greece 🇬🇷❤🇫🇮

AUGHHHHHHHH Hello again, welcome to Finland.
