Herr Mannelig(original) |
| Bittida en morgon innan solen upprann |
| Innan foglarna borjade sjunga |
| Bergatroliet friade till fager ungersven |
| Hon hade en falskeliger tunga |
| :Herr Mannelig herr Mannelig trolofven i mig |
| For det jag bjuder sa gerna |
| I kunnen val svara endast ja eller nej |
| Om i viljen eller ej: |
| Eder vill jag gifva de gangare tolf |
| Som ga uti rosendelunde |
| Aldrig har det varit nagon sadel uppa dem |
| Ej heller betsel uti munnen |
| :Herr Mannelig herr Mannelig trolofven i mig |
| For det jag bjuder sa gerna |
| I kunnen val svara endast ja eller nej |
| Om i viljen eller ej: |
| Eder vill jag gifva de qvarnarna tolf |
| Som sta mellan Tillo och Terno |
| Stenarna de aro af rodaste gull |
| Och hjulen silfverbeslagna |
| Sadana gafvor toge jag val emot |
| On du vore en kristelig qvinna |
| Men nu sa ar du det varsta bergatroll |
| Af Neckens och djavulens stamma |
| :Herr Mannelig herr Mannelig trolofven i mig |
| For det jag bjuder sa gerna |
| I kunnen val svara endast ja eller nej |
| Om i viljen eller ej: |
| Bergatrollet ut pa dorren sprang |
| Hon rister och jamrar sig svara |
| Hade jag fatt den fager ungersven |
| Sa hade jag mistat min plaga |
| :Herr Mannelig herr Mannelig trolofven i mig |
| For det jag bjuder sa gerna |
| I kunnen val svara endast ja eller nej |
| Om i viljen eller nej: (4 x) |
| (translation) |
| Early one morning before the sun rose |
| Before the birds began to sing |
| Bergatroliet proposed to a beautiful young friend |
| She had a more fake tongue |
| : Mr. Male Mr. Male trolofven in me |
| For what I offer so gladly |
| In your choice, answer only yes or no |
| Whether at will or not: |
| I want to give you the twelve walkers |
| Which gave out rosendelunde |
| There has never been a saddle up on them |
| No bridle in the mouth either |
| : Mr. Male Mr. Male trolofven in me |
| For what I offer so gladly |
| In your choice, answer only yes or no |
| Whether at will or not: |
| I want to give you those twelve mills |
| As standing between Tillo and Terno |
| The stones are of the reddest gold |
| And the wheels are silver-plated |
| I received such gifts |
| If you were a Christian woman |
| But now you're the worst mountain troll |
| Of the Tribe of the Neck and the Devil |
| : Mr. Male Mr. Male trolofven in me |
| For what I offer so gladly |
| In your choice, answer only yes or no |
| Whether at will or not: |
| The mountain troll out the door ran |
| She shakes and moans to answer |
| Had I got that beautiful young friend |
| Then I had lost my torment |
| : Mr. Male Mr. Male trolofven in me |
| For what I offer so gladly |
| In your choice, answer only yes or no |
| Whether at will or not: (4 x) |
