As a Swedish speaker, i noticed there are some wrong meaning. 1.För det jag bjuder så gärna doesnt mean (for that I would gladly offer you gifts) it would be more accurate " because i want to offer you very gladly."There are no gifts mentioned in that sentence. She says that she REALLY REALLY wants to offer him to marry her. 2. Som klingar utaf femton guldringar doesnt mean that it" sounds like fifteen gold rings" it is made of fifteen gold rings so "klingar" which is referred to when keys make noise so when sword hits the floor it makes that noise. It doesnt sound like fifteen gold rings, it is MADE out of 15 gold rings. 3. "Her mouth full of lies" this sentence i would say could be correctly translated. But if we translated it exactly like it is written (hon hade en falskeliger tunga) it would be "she had a false tongue". But it could be translated into mouth full of lies.

[@kingrichardiii6280]

loved this folk song, especially this rendition. but not sure how to interpret it. the first half of the song paints the troll a deceitful. untrustworthy, figure and reinforces that by how the knight rejects her. but when the troll cries out she said "her plight would be over" as if he had loved her she would not be foul and deceitful. Is she a demonic monster trying to lead the knight to peril or repentant and wishing to be loved?

[@moritamikamikara3879]

@user-pd1uc1ce9e If you were to ask me it just sounds like a Christian man rejecting a pagan woman who was lonely and wealthy. The pagan wanted to marry the Christian so that she would be accepted back into society and not ostracized for her paganism, but Herr Mannelig refuses because he is a principled Christian and believes it's wrong to marry a pagan.

[@marvalice3455]

​@@kingrichardiii6280 just because she says "her plight would be over" doesn't mean it's true.

Just to add a little nuance, for those of you who can't understand Swedish: When the troll-woman runs away at the end crying, a more literal translation of what she says is that if she had been able to get the young man, she would have been able to avoid her (future) torment; this suggests that she understands that eternal punishment awaits her, but she thought that she could avoid it by seducing and marrying a Christian man---which is not really how it works, but you can't blame her for trying, I guess!

[@HolkHugan]

The Christian man in question had resolve, so he could've converted her and saved a soul from eternal damnation, instead of condemning her for being born into a tribe of pagans.

[@sudonim7552]

I think the thing is, trolls are believed to have no souls, as they are not human, so they wouldn't have eternal torment but eternal nothingness after death, but by marrying a human they could gain a soul and have eternal life. Unfortunately they try to do this through deception and bribery rather than a genuine desire to love or repent. They don't have eternal souls like humans, after all, only an earthly mind. They are more like very intelligent animals in that regard.

@@luizumhumano7111 in my opinion it's not a sin per se, but it comes with some danger. Especially if it's not just some neutral music but created by someone with different faith (for example Bach) but music created for religious purposes. The most obvious example is satanist music which was created to worship demons. But I think there is a lot of danger in pagan music too. Also the protestant songs brings a lot of danger but in a different way. They seem to worship the God but they can also mix truth with some minor lies. So, as I said it's not a sin but we should keep in mind that everything we listen to, watch, read etc. has some influence on us and in long term can lead us to false.

Joshua 24:15-18 (KJV) And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD. And the people answered and said, God forbid that we should forsake the LORD, to serve other gods; For the LORD our God, he it is that brought us up and our fathers out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage, and which did those great signs in our sight, and preserved us in all the way wherein we went, and among all the people through whom we passed: And the LORD drave out from before us all the people, even the Amorites which dwelt in the land: therefore will we also serve the LORD; for he is our God.

I absolutely adore this channel and the work you do in making these videos that share not just great music but also the translation. A lot of of great artists are featured on here, who I would like to hear more of. Could you add information to the video description on where to find the original performers? I understand if not, with the oddities of KZbin rules and all.

Scandinavia an incredible land full of stories that one can only think that they belong to fairy tales or legends of ancient times that only the hyperboria could have ever been told in said lands. Therefore, they became brave men and women who, seeking to escape the decline of their world, Ragnarok, which not even their gods, forces of nature incarnate could. They looked for a new future in the seas mounted on their dragons they explored all the world that they could. But as warriors and pirates they plundered lands which would without thinking give them a new future. There they found yet a new god which was one and three at the same time, a god who defeated death and who was not a tribal god that was worshiped by countless peoples such as the Byzantine heirs of the Hellenic tradition, the Welsh heirs of the mythical adventures of King Arthur, the Gaelics who were the only ones worthy of the land of Eire after facing and seeing the constant invaders who wanted it or their distant cousins ​​who embraced this new god who achieved feats that not even Thor achieved even in his cusp then history would change forever to see the clash of two worlds forever.

My heart is gladdened by your return. Since we're in Advent, is there any chance for you to translate Catholic Christmas music from the Caribbean? Puerto Rico and Cuba both have beautiful Villancicos, which follow traditions dating all the way back to the 15th century. I'd love to see "Villancico Yaucono" from my home or "Si al ver en el oriente" written by the great composer Esteban Salas. Regardless of whether or not you choose to translate these pieces, I think you'll enjoy hearing them.

Wait, so if I summarize this song, it's basically: Troll woman: Hey, mr handsome knight, would you like to do something fun with me? I pay you. 😏 Knight: No thanks bro. I'm a Christian. 😒 Troll women: 😢 (Not gonna lie. It's cool)

i'd say the song is pretty neutral. it's written during the 1850's which one of swedens protestant pious peaks but it's about the time before protestantism and nothing in the point to any specific christian doctrine
