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) |
