Herr Mannelig [English translation]

At dawn before the sun arose

And the birds sang their song

The woman of the troll with the false tongue

And deceptive voice proposed a gentleman

Herr Mannelig, Herr Mannelig will you want to marry me

For all that I will give you?

If you want to, just say yes or no

Will you do it or not?

I will give you the twelve mills

That are between Tillo and Terno

The grinders are made of the most red copper

And the wheels are loaded with silver

Herr Mannelig, Herr Mannelig will you want to marry me

For all that I will give you?

If you want to, just say yes or no

Will you do it or not?

If you were a Christian woman

I would gladly receive gifts

But I know that you are the worst troll

Son of the malignant spirits

Herr Mannelig, Herr Mannelig will you want to marry me

For all that I will give you?

If you want to, just say yes or no

Will you do it or not?
