- Garmarna - Herr Mannelig _ Sir Mannelig
This song is abot a woman who wants to marry a guy, but he doesent want her because she is not a christian woman... Old myth, old folk from sweden - Hudba
her rolling 'R' really is spectacular.
Polish "r" is the same 😀
Yes!
@Yoel Armas Macías yup. 😊
Yoel Armas Macías a gift from the goths I gather.
Erik Van der Zee You should hear my Dutch then (Swedish accent all over the place).
My wife is a mountaintroll and she is very offended by this song. But I own a lot of mills and horses now.
Hans Petersen I am Elf Maiden wed to a blue skinned Cave Troll, I have to say, the jewels gold and silver he gives me and his unwavering love, I look pass the three hairs on the top of his head and his dirt blackened toe nails, I know what you mean LoL
Troll lives matter!
All wives are mountain trolls :D
ahaha
Im. Happy for you
This uses the old verb conjugation, spelling and verb forms that are not used in Contemporary Swedish. I love it.
And a very distinct rolled R that's rare in modern Swedish dialects, I believe.
@@renerpho its a shame that ive listened to this so many times that when i sing/speak in swedish(im a native English speaker) i have that rolled r as a part of my pronunciation now😅😂

still better love story than twilight
lol you right
Sure, but is a sadly love story :p
Rafo Martirosian WHAT THAT IS NONCENCE
Uhh In my humble opinion this isn't a love story but a heartbreaking beg for release from a spell cast on the Mountain troll, which is never broken, frpm what I understand...
Well, it's a good story regardless
Swedish language + mystic stories = total badassery
soyezzen that is ancient germanic. :)
+GalliadII no that is older swedish :)

such a beautiful language
it:s Swedish
hello
It’s old Swedish.
from which century approximately ? is it more like proto-germanic or modern Swedish ?
+Porquoi Pas It’s more like Swedish from 300 years ago.
In an alternate universe
Her Manelligh: *YES YES!!! A HUNDRED TIMES YES*
Not even in any parallel universe
I'd say yes if i'd be mannelig. poor girl
I could listen to her "R" forever o.o
For more in this vein, try the band "Triakel'. Same singer.
i iagrrrrrrrree!
When?
GET BACK TO THE BATTLE CLONE
SIR YES SIR!
She wasn't a troll, she was a sorceress. To explain: the word troll originally meant "magic being" (either magically manipulated or a being using magic). The modern idea of a troll (big, monstrous) is actually a jotun - jotuns often using magic, who are therefore simultaneously also trolls. This is why doing magic in the scandinavian languages translates to "trolling" (trylle/trolle), a magician/wizard is called a "trollman" (trollmann/troldmand), and magic is called "troll's verdict" (trolldom/trolddom).
So, this is a tale of a pagan sorceress who begged a christian knight to marry her, for the curse on her to be lifted. She could not tell him outright due to the nature of her curse. But being a christian, the knight saw her magical powers and non-christian nature as a sign that she was in a relationship with the devil - as christians has historically done to stigmatize paganism to the point of using it as an argument to eradicate pagans through genocide.
thanks for the info:)
Francesco Anziutti
You're welcome mate :)
***** What you're stating is what the word "bergatroll" has *come* to mean - not what it originally meant. Think: why would "bergaTROLL" and "TROLLkarl" have absolutely nothing in common, in modern Scandinavian? Because the words have lost their original meaning - like so many other words.
The Scandinavian languages are all derived from one language. The words in question have similar meaning (both original meaning and the modern variation) in all Scandinavian languages.
+Northern85Star from what language are they derived?
metivs Old Norse deriving from the North Germanic branch of the Germanic language :)
This is the song that made me start learning Swedish ♥
Egemen Tanik Please bear in mind though that a lot (almost every single one) of these words are forlorn/ancient nordic/swedish words. And that the modern swedish we speak here today (I am from Sweden) is extremely different. But good job on some of the translations and good luck to you both (:
@@NewbornSkydiver Thank you from İzmir, Turkey for the heads-up and the well wishes. I'll check other sources and maybe check if there are any courses in my area. I also read the story behind the song and its fascinating; something you can tell your children.

The way she says "värsta bergätroll" is sooo hypnotic. I'm legit a simp for her voice now.
his loss. the mountain trollesses are the best
richard salvator Death by snu snu ?
BudBreaker That and in old folklore mountain trolls are often rich beyond your dreams. Living in caves they gather gold and silver in big piles. And they have the power to control nature it self. And some have the power to heal and make you live longer. Even turn a human into a troll. I grew up with stories of trolls living here in northern Sweden and hell I even think some are real. They are part of our history and people have always seen them. So marrying one is a big win in my book :)
richard salvator This song is among the traditional documents (re also czcams.com/video/EwWMWKBP2vo/video.html where the 'troll witch' catches the heart of the king because of her beauty) showing that initially "troll" meant far more than permanentplastichelmet.files.wordpress.com/2011/08/trollhunterpic4-600x337.jpg Mister Manneling doesn't turn down the "troll"'s proposal because she is not human or ugly, only because she is 'not Christian' = pagan. The modern meaning being a 'non human' humanoid 'troll' in the old wide sense encompassed the _hulder_ www.drunkendragoonproductions.com/18thcentimagi-nation/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=169 both and hulder being, anyway, distorted memories of the _völvur_ shamanesses of pagan German-Scandinavia.

+Viking88 damn you make my day

Stunningly beautiful. Thanks for sharing. Everytime she sings while rolling her tongue gives me goosebumps.
It's very easy for me lol
My oldest (8) will be presenting this song in her class as "favourite music" tomorrow.
I gave her another cd with "raining blood" of Slayer and now her class hates her ;-) No, all joking aside, it was only part of the presentation and the teacher didn't have time left to play the song in class.
You did a great job!

I want to be Swedish. :( god damn it. this language is so damn good. and also the song
Her voice is very beautiful and calming. I love the way she does those rolling r's , she almost purrs ❤️
I love that, it has a romantic sound to it, doesn't it?
Great song, but strange translations that are not in line with the actual tone of the original lyrics.
Just one example: "I kunnen väl svara endast ja eller nej" is a request and not a demand.
If keeping the old tone it should be more like: "Wouldn't you so answer with but a yes or a no". And not: "You may answer only yes or no".
It being a "request" is important as it goes with the manipulating tone of the woman singing. She is trying to bribe someone, you don't make demands in that situation.
The song is a variant of the temptations of the devil theme, that was popular back in the day. The offerings are kingly gifts, owning twelve mills would make you very rich.
The actual official translation:
1. Early one morning before the sun rose up
Before the birds began to sing
The mountain troll proposed to the handsome young man
She had a false tongue
(ref.) Herr Mannelig, herr Mannelig, will you be betrothed to me?
For that, I offer you gifts very gladly
Surely you can answer only yes or no
If you wish to or not
2. To you I wish to give the twelve palfreys
That go in the grove of roses
Never has there been a saddle upon them
Nor a bridle in their mouths
3. To you I wish to give the twelve mills
That are between Tillö and Ternö
The stones are made of the reddest gold
And the wheels are covered in silver
4. To you I wish to give a gilded sword
That chimes of fifteen gold rings
And fight however you fight [well or badly]
The battle you would surely win
5. To you I wish to give a shirt so new
The best you will want to wear
It was not sewn with needle or thread
But crocheted of white silk
6. Such gifts I would surely accept
If thou wert a Christian woman
However, thou art the worst mountain troll
The spawn of the Neck and the Devil
7. The mountain troll ran out the door
She shakes and wails hard
If I had got the handsome young man
I would have got rid of my plight.
Great comment 👏🏼
Thanks for the interesting info!
what plight?
@@spectrum3808 the plight of being unworthy, unexcepted, not bride worthy, rejected, need I go on?
Is this like the Swedish equivalent to old "Shakespearean" English where it's hard for even some English speakers to understand because the diction used is so old fashioned that it's hard to understand? Is this the case with native Swedish speakers with this song?
Can we appreciate Sir that he stopped and listened the troll until she is finished?
That's definitely a good thing, yes.
Ok, but I still think he could be less of a jerk and just answer with a freaking ''no'' instead of ''urgh, fyyy, you suck, you're the worst, get out of here''.
Everytime I hear the refrain right after his answer, repeating ''you could answer with only a yes or a no, if you want to or not'' my heart does break a little.
The bar for men is so low...
@@Elenawen2 Like for women is high? Her approach was wrong- is all. Because men are easily lured with other stuff... She should just go "lookit dem titties" and run off playfuly, slowing down from time to time, so he can catch up...

@@Hola-8693 Okay that's nice.
I've found quite a lot of comments pitying the montain troll.
And I am also very touched by the rejection of her trying to be loved and accepted.
So I decided I want to have this song saved inside my head and started memorizing the lyrics.
Last night I was practicing and singing it very very quietly and softly.
Sung that way, Manneligs phrase stopped being a harsh renounce. It was like he was explaining that it just isn't possible for him to marry her and pitying her too for being an outcast.
...
There must be a lot of fanfics about them, gotta search, this is the internet after all...
Herr mannelig pitied her, but at the same time wasnt going to give up his principles for a woman.
Thats the message
There are other variants on this theme throughout the northern world. The English "King Henry" tells a similar tale except that the man agrees to sleep with an ugly hag (he has little choice with more emphasis on brutal requests he rejects), upon which he is rewarded when she is revealed to be a beautiful woman. The Scandinavian trolls seem irredeemable in their folklore.
It's a rather common theme in old Scandinavian stories that the trolls and faeries and other oknytt are rather pitiable. Most of their schemes revolve around desperately trying to gain a good soul so that they can survive after death in the realm of heaven. But though we may find them sympathetic and pitiable, we must never concede to them: If you'll notice the song above for example, the troll offered Mannelig all manners of riches, but she never once offered him her heart or her love or her faithfulness, despite her giving him those things being the only way that she could have gained a soul... Well, that, or I suppose god could've just, you know, not have been an a-hole by having provided them souls in the first place?
I don't know if explaining softly is better. I always thought about the repetition of the refrain, "just say if you want to or not". And the last time, after his rejection, "I've been telling you to just say a simple yes or no, it would have been enough." He didn't have to elaborate, harshly or otherwise.
@@GrahamChapman...yeh... she never once offered her heart, nor asked for it. That's truly pitiful
Yeah, I`ve heard it too, there are a few Bands who tried to interpret the song, but I think this is one of the most authentic... Thanks for the komment!:)

Killer Rabbit if it makes it easier to pronounce Swedish listen to the song Varluven Swedish ballad also by Garmarna. If you listen to the song and lyrics it is really easy to pronounce. This song is amazing though.
Killer Rabbit and my dad was shocked too. He was surprised I knew most of the lyrics.
Granted my Mother tongue is Spanish, I 've also attempted to sing it in the comfort of my room.
Imagine your child started begging you to marry them in Swedish and promising you several horses and mills
@@maverickhunter9135 I want to learn those two too soon!
There a lot of variations on this song that (and some of them are mighty well to hear, too) make this piece of poetry into a rock song. However, this beautifully sung and played variation does the deep sadness of the text justice. I sometimes wonder how the story continues. Or how it would have continued had the knight heeded the troll. I think most people are at some point in their lives one or the other of these two. Thanks for sharing. Thus I learned of this band.
I've been youtube for hours. I don't know how i got here. But I am happy to discover that. I knew Vikings a little more. I learned about this song's story about an hour ago. I admire Scandinavian culture. I apologize if there is an mistake in my writing. I wish you happy days. Lastly, greetings from Turkey :)
i will marry u :) hahaah
Turkey also have a rich history by the sultans and the ottaman empire
@Philip Arvanitidis Malaka don't linger in the past, we have a really great history. Germany has a great history aswell despite commiting one of the biggest genocides in the world. So shut up
@Philip Arvanitidis You speak of things that happened over hundred years ago. So yeah I don't linger in the past. Know why? Because everyone alive then would be dead today! Does Germany linger in the past? For killing millions of Jews? A genocide that by the way has a kill count far greater than the Armenian genocide. Oh and that happened during the mid 1940's much more recently than the Armenian genocide. So my guess? You are just someone that hates Turks. I don't feel responsible for the things that my ancestors might have commited and that is the end of that. Just be forgotten the next day are you kidding me? What did you smoke my guy? Your grandparents might not even have been alive back then. Reality is gruesome but hey I accept it, I don't live in a fairy tale.

I’ve been trying to learn this song for about two weeks now, as a native English speaker...
It’s freaking hard
Hartwig Flögh both, and I’ve been singing for over a decade of my life now. I have slight difficulty rolling my R’s and because this song is riddled with them, it’s quite difficult to pull off
I suggest to learn the language first, it helps remembering it, now you need to translate first and than the pronunciation
As an Indian
Even I fell in love with the song
As a filipino, same
This made me want to learn Swedish to be able to sing this song
People here sem to forget that this is a piece of music open to many layers of interpretation.
More so because of how our(I'm Swedish) language usually conveys nuances and meaning through context, intonation and implication rather than to use a specific word for a specific nuance or point on the spectrum of the subject.
We tend to be direct and to the point when we speak which as a contrast makes us very vague when we use our language for poetry or song or other artistic works where we are not able to take a direct approach. Ours is not a very abstract language.
I guess my point is that this song conveys more messages than one and can be interpreted in more ways in modern days than people could/did in medieval/post medieval times.
In fact, if you go even further back to when we Scandinavians hadn't sold ourselves to the christian god and culture there is yet another interpretation of this song.
To me personally this song speaks of the arrogance and foolishness of a boy/young man who is decieved by his own prejudice and preconceptions as he rejects the trolless who at the end is indicated to have truly wanted him and had not been trying to decieve him. To me it also speaks of the culturally self-destructive nature of christianity(or really any of the dominant monotheistic religions).
I suppose I take it literally as sort of a fairy tale in which the troll is an actual mythological troll rather than a pagan.
Malcolm Thorne You have to give Herr Mannelig credit for sticking up for his principles though. He could have had riches, fabulous treasures and a magical sword of bling making him invincible in battle, but he declined all of that for the sake of righteousness. Many a man would surely have accepted out of sheer self-interest.
+Malcolm Thorne
"To me it also speaks of the culturally self-destructive nature of christianity(or really any of the dominant monotheistic religions)."
Question: are you yourself a Christian or another monotheist?
***** I've studied them and I live in a country where there is a clear division between the aspects of our culture that are the result of their influence and those aspects that are the result of our pre-christian heritage.
But no, I've always had an instinctive aversion against religion as a whole and monotheistic ones in particular. I'll admit to finding them an interesting subject study though.
I'm tenebrianist, myself.
First of all the song clearly says she had a false tongue, secondly no matter how nationalist you are, you can't close your eyes to the advancement Christianity brought
:))) czcams.com/video/ulXwOrErdrk/video.html
Just a note to anyone reading the comments. This song is neither medieval nor ancient in any other way, its from the 19th century. Not saying it's bad, just that it's not as old as it might seem
This is a common theme in medieval folklore where magical creatures like Fairies,elves, trolls etc desperately try to get Christian people to marry them so they can get an immortal soul and go to heaven because that's the one thing they cannot have.
Nefelibata Nation back then troll meant sorcery
they had a different name for the creature your thinking of
tho
Interestingly, in Chinese Buddhist story "Journey to the West" demons are very willing to kidnap and eat Buddhist monk to get immortality.
this folkloric trope is inverted in the Little Mermaid fairy tale where the mermaid ends up gaining semi-immortality even after getting rejected by the prince because of her selflessness (it can be seen as the author HC Andersen's way of saying that you don't need another person's love to gain salvation)
I feel like conquering a small town for some reason while listening to this.
Fuck it, do it in CIV V
Dont listen to seven devils then😂
Well this is perfectly fit for mount and blade atmosphere
Hahahaha minor adrenaline rushes
I feel like I must to cast an iron sword while listening this or an axe xDD

You are obviously trolling right?
This reminds me of watching Game of thrones because of how they talk to each other in that kind of language
What a magical experience!! Pls tell me more of such songs!?? Thanks sweden 🇸🇪 ❣️
Bergatrollet is such an beautiful word.
I've read some confusion and discussion in the comments about the song, to help clarify for none natives read this.
A "Troll" in Swedish folklore is not like the big beasts from fantasy.
They where very much humanlike, but would have long tails with a tuft of hair on the end. They could often do magic and/or be very strong. There was different breeds of them, Forest, Mountain, River, Sea troll etc. And basically they lived side by side with humans but out in the wilds.
In this case this is a mountain troll maid, according to legend the young maids could be very beautiful, they would shrivel into ugly old trolls as they aged but they lived far longer then ordinary humans. The troll males was most often burly, hairy and ugly with big noses.
Mountain trolls was also known for having vast riches hidden in their mountain halls and was most often seen as the ruling class of trolls.
Humans, mostly females and children would be abducted into these mountain halls.
And travelers could sometimes be invited, but if you ate or drank anything you were forever trapped to live with them or until they decided to let you go.
Anyway basically the story in this song goes that this troll maid gets infatuated with this Squire or Knight and offers him gifts so he will accept her hand in marriage. Him being a good Christian is spurning her despite her gifts because the church hold them as evil in league with Satan.
So for those wondering she was probably very beautiful and the gifts she offered him would by these days standards be aching to becoming a millionaire.
Edvard grieg wrote a piece about a hall of a mountain troll
Actually the girl is troll because of a curse and could break the curse only by marrying a noble man
@@adolfhipsteryolocaust3443 No curse, she is damned because she is a troll, she wants to save herself from her damnation by marrying a Christian knight (its not because of infatuation, she is literally using the Christian knight as an escape from her damnation). The knight refuses her because she is a Troll. So she despairs since she lost her chance for salvation.

просто супер. девушка мечта! в смысле голос
Hearing this song that's in Swedish, and knowing a little German, along with speaking English, it has really been helping me learn Norwegian
even though I'm french, speaking english and a bit of german allows me to understand more than 30% of the song, it is wonderful.
this song comes from the last times of northern pagan religion, she was not a monster, but one of the last woman to believe in the old Gods.
The song is beautiful but when you think about the story behind it is really sad, there are the lasts breaths of an entire religion, culture, way of thinking and philosophy.
I would love a world where christianity did not destroyed every single culture it has conquered. It would be glorious to have, still today, people who believe in the old gods of their country.

Listening to this language makes me happy. I'm not sure if I feel connected purely by my heritage, or if I just like hearing people pronounce the letters correctly. I hate my last name, Nystrom, sometimes. Haha
Nyström is fairly common in Sweden. Not sure what there is to dislike about it, however i can imagine mispronounciations being annoying if its a thing that bugs you easily.
Due to all the different comments about what the song symbolics is. I had the fortune of meeting the musicians and author of the song and did ask them about it. The mountain troll is a pagan woman under a spell. If she marry the young Herr Mannelig the spell will be broken. However since she isn't christian he refuses her advances and that is why she suffers so much at the end not able to convince him to set her free.

These R's and her voice... Goodness, this is magical! This song actually makes me miss the life I've never had for some reason.
This is closer to indo-european language. Some language in southern asia and south east asia still pronounce the strong "R" in daily conversation.
Herr Mannelig is my favorite song!
This is so beautiful.... Love love love from Pakistan
Talk about being "trolled"...still, I feel bad for her!
Certainly the most 'authentic' sounding rendition on CZcams!
That by Haggard is not bad either, the In Extremo one more lively but not sad enough to fit the lyrics.
Btw I suspect that 'Troll' in the context is just a pejorative for 'Pagan': neither here nor in 'Konungen och Trollkvinna' there is any indication that she is 'no human' or ugly! Actually such a 'Troll' could be very cute and extremely attractive, enough to catch the heart of a king.
I feel her pain... Its tough to listen to this
I know. Being rejected because of who you are or your religious back ground and wanting some one to love you

@@Alluring.starlight Prepare for hard hard pronounciations, spelling, similar words etc
@@bambooandmeofficial I also agree it is hard to pronounce words but easy to write them xD
@@Alluring.starlight Let me guess that you have just begun? Correct? 😂
I have been thinking about learning a Scandinavian language for some years now and this song inspires me to finally do so as soon as I can.
Hur går det med studerandet?
@@mlokosewitschii4464 I at least understood your question.
I'm part Swedish in Indian Norwegian and I'm British plus I'm American and I'm from America I can sing the song pretty well even though it's really old Swedish words that not even Swedish people can't even say properly since it's so old.
I have listened to this for years. I keep coming back to it. I am American and I love looking back at my ancestry, but I feel like those native look down and laugh at people like me. Maybe I’ve just met the wrong people. I personally feel like I have no past sometimes because I don’t think anything American is our own. We took so many things and just called it ours.
Germanic and Celtic heritage is hereditary not geographical. For example, I probably have more German in my genes than a lot of Germans. I think the problem comes when I, for example, say I'm German, it is taken as if I am saying culturally I'm German.
The beautiful thing about our Germanic Tribal history is that those tribes and their traditions only live on through our blood that ties us to them. And us to each other.
Dude, I'm convinced. I'm moving to Gothenburg.
In Swedish it's called Göteborg 😉
Oh man i Love SWEDISH*! Language now... Wonderful music.
Love the way she rolls the R off the tongue!
Perfectly summed up! Thx for the work.
