Lyrics
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)
Lyrics translation
Get up early one morning before the sun rises
Before the bailiffs began to sing
Bergatroliet proposed to fager ungersven
She had a falskeliger tunga
: Mr. Mannelig Mr. Mannelig trolofven in me
For what I'm buying
I kunnen choice answer only yes or no
Whether you will or not:
Oaths I will give to the gangers twelve
As ga uti rosendelunde
Never has there been any saddle up them
Nor bridle in the mouth
: Mr. Mannelig Mr. Mannelig trolofven in me
For what I'm buying
I kunnen choice answer only yes or no
Whether you will or not:
Oaths I will give to the qwarners twelve
As the sta between Tillo and Terno
The stones de aro af rodaste gull
And the wheels are silver coated
So gafvor did I choose against
If you were a Christian woman
But now you said it was bergatroll
Af Neckens and djavulens gm
: Mr. Mannelig Mr. Mannelig trolofven in me
For what I'm buying
I kunnen choice answer only yes or no
Whether you will or not:
Bergatrollet out pa dorren ran
She rister and meows herself reply
Had I gotten the fair Hungarian
So I would have lost my plaga
: Mr. Mannelig Mr. Mannelig trolofven in me
For what I'm buying
I kunnen choice answer only yes or no
If you will or No: (4 x)
