Swedish Song - "Herr Mannelig" [English Subtitles]

"Herr Mannelig" - (English: aka The Courting of the Mountain Troll)
Herr Mannelig is a Swedish medieval ballad that tells the story of a female mountain troll who proposes to a young man. The troll tries to convince him to accept her as his wife. She offers him gifts, but the man refuses as she is not a Christian woman but a troll, who belongs to the devil. The failure to seduce him makes her desperate, because by winning him over she would get rid of her plight, possibly suggesting that she is under a curse. The picture is unrelated to the song, performed by Garmarna.

Swede here. I knew this song as a child, but only heard/sang it quite a bit faster. That way, even though it's in a minor key, it sounded way less tragic and more jokingly as the troll is listing all the ridiculous riches she wish to give the young lad for his hand in marriage. We children were even encouraged to make up our own verses about what we would promise to give him if we were the troll, each and everyone getting more exaggerated as we went. It's funny how much the tempo can change a song!

I did some research regarding the painting in the video and with the help of people in this comment section, I finally understood the context of the painting. The painting is called: "Here is a piece of a troll herb which nobody else but me can find" and the artist who painted this work is a gentleman by the name of John Bauer. As the description of this video states, the painting has nothing to do with the song. In fact, the big old lady you see in the painting isn't even a troll. She's apparently a witch that got her hair stuck in the branches of a spruce tree. The boy in the painting then set her free and for his kindness, the witch gave him a magical herb that enables him to understand what the animals of the forest are saying, and that's the scene that's depicted in the painting. The story this painting is based on is called: "The boy who was never afraid" and the story is about a young boy whose cow was abducted by a troll. Knowing that nothing would harm him thanks to his kind-hearted nature, the boy fearlessly went out to search for his cow. The story does feature a troll as the main antagonist but the painting itself is about the boy's encounter with the witch.

Bauer was a Swedish artist who was very famous for paintings and illustrations of trolls and other creatures from Norse sagas. This particular creature we call Skogsrå, a kind of witch who rules over wild animals and likes to seduce men, and she's able to shapeshift. The painting is called Trollörten. (Trolls herb.)

[@gaffalstudios3617]

Well, it's incredible for us swedes when people find out about our folk lore and culture. Bauer is one of the most famous artist in our country and basically everyone here is familiar with his paintings. Swedish folklore is incredibly convoluted and it's a very intresting study. And it actually has spread itself into some english words, for example the "Nattmara" is the prescientific explanation for sleep paralasys demons, and the english word "nightmare" is a direct translation of it.

[@rocambolli]

​@@gaffalstudios3617 I saw some words that were similar to some english words. Is there a relation between english and swedish?

[@gaffalstudios3617]

@@rocambolli I mean old anglish (wich english comes from) and Swedish are both germanic languages so they have evolved from the same language and thus have many similar words. But furthermore during the viking invasions the vikings brought their own language with them, and many english words where replaced by viking ones. Especially in local dialects, if you go to Scotland many of the words english people have trouble understanding make total sense for us nordic people; like the word "braw" which means "good" in scots, this word is basically just a reused version of the old norse word "braaf" or "brav" or "bra" in modern Swedish. Or "bairn" which means child or baby is just an english version of the word "barn".

@@deszSS1387 I totally agree with your statements. Except a minor adjust men. I don't think it's "not bad" to believe in something. - I think it's essential, to believe in something. The lack of a higher power, leads you astray, like the woke or climatists. I was born a Christian, but i could never reconcile with a "single" god. It felt tyranical. So i spent most of my life, looking for meaning, leading me down paths of abuse and addictions... Finally i found, that it has nothing to do with the concept of "god" or "gods", and everything to do with values. I've always been taught, as most have, that we are born good, and are essentially good beings in nature. Then i heard an interview, where it was postulated, that we're actually born bad and that - being good - Is a learned behavior. And that actually made sense to me. So i understood then and there, that if i wanted to be a good person, i had to adopt some values. - And that's been my main driving force since then. I have regained my respect for other religions now, and no longer see religious people as "less than" because of it... I was on the "gravytrain" to wokeness at some point, but i started to think for myself, before it was too late... So yea, you NEED to believe in something... Something higher than yourself... Meh... I digress... I love to talk... But yea, the values of old, in the Nordic nations, like mine... We need to rediscover them, and everything that culture have to offer us... Recreate as much as we can, as authentically as we can... Only through that, i believe, can we be a strong people again...

First time I've heard this song, it was a Russian translation and I found it very interesting from a historical standpoint. I googled it and found out that the whole poem is an allegory of Norse-Christian relations at the time which, in humble opinion, makes the song much more cooler to say the least. I mean, it's basically a centuries-old social commentary which brings up one of the perspectives on this matter, which allows us to understand the feelings of the people of this era somewhat, or at least this one particular writer. This version though is just outright beautiful. I'm even considering learning Swedish now, after hearing that. This language is somehow sounds both familiar yet very distinctly alien. Fascinating stuff, I'd say

[@MrSharpClaw]

Seeing it from that perspective makes me sad really, shitty christians batting a hand of union away as usual at that time...

[@Upioornica]

Your comment goes nicely with another one saying that it was believed that fairies/magical beings had no souls, but could obtain one by marrying a human. Both a pagan woman and a troll/fairy wouldn't have a soul (or couldn't achieve salvation) and thus might strive to marry a Christian man. It sounds pretty much like a medieval propaganda to me, but it surely makes a beautiful, haunting song

[@cocobunitacobuni8738]

our poor cultures 😔

[@VasiliyOgniov]

@@Upioornica yes, this belief indeed existed at that timeframe, at least regarding magical creatures. However, I would argue that author had some semblance of pity towards them and, by extention, to the Norse paganism as a whole. At least more than most of the christians at the time. They call troll's tongue false (indicating that she lied to good man, or at least tried to deceive), yet it seems like she genuinely wanted to get a soul, not out of something devious (because, to my, honestly, pretty limited, knowledge there is no apparent benefits for this) but simply because she thinks that it's better than her current soulless existence. Thinking about it, it's a pretty tragic story - being so desperate, troll would do and say whatever it takes to become a human, but it still wouldn't be enough. Author, indeed, sees Norse pagan beliefs as something fundamentally irredeemable, so they are 100% biased, but bear in mind that we are talking about times long before humanism, so it was as big of an extent of sympathy as they could get from christian (most probably, a monk) standpoint. As a fellow christian, it's kinda based. As a fellow human being, it's kinda harsh as heck, outright cruel even. Still, it's a very interesting piece of medieval art

[@VasiliyOgniov]

@@cocobunitacobuni8738 Yeah, I get that. I mean, Slavic paganism was basically erased from existence without much of a trace. Spread of Christianity wasn't as bloody of a process in Rus as it was in Scandinavia, yet we still know almost nothing about slavic gods, especially in comparison to Norse or Greek ones, and most of the modern-day "slavic pagan" culture proposers are just cringey posers who basically invented gods to fill the gaps. It's such a shame, that such a large chunk of the culture was lost, probably forever

Several months ago, I decided to follow a dream which I have had for a long time, and that is, to learn Swedish, which is what I am currently involved in. Only for a few months though. This song just came up on my KZbin feed! Lovely absolutely lovely.

[@niclasjohansson5992]

Herr Mannelig is also known as 'Herr Mannerlig' (archaic version of Swedish manly), but also known as sir Magnus (Latin for 'the great'). We can probably guess why the troll lady was hot for him

[@Lindormber]

It only means "sir". Not "manly". From "herre".

[@niclasjohansson5992]

@@Lindormber the 'Mannerlig' is archaic form of manlig, manly. Herr is translated into sir.

Lols, from Afrikaans and German I took Herr to mean Mr (like Heer) and Mannelig to mean (man-ling/small human/child)

[@Lagi42800]

German here, I agree with @Aya Grantos Herr means "Sir" or "Mr", in german its "Herr" to so, on the "Mannerlig" I do agree that it best describes a Person with manly, attractive attributes in english you'd perhaps describe it as somewhat handsome ... Hope I could help :)

​​​ You speak for Svenska regions I guess; but....all together, concerning Indo-Europeans, especially those of Europe, the noble and epic Rolling R is the most charachteristic for Slavs, gernerally speaking.....thr most numerous European group who live on huge territorry....both North and East (Russ: Russia, Byeloruss, Ukraina....) plus Poland, Slovakia, German Serbs (Sorben), ect. and evem South-East of Europe: (Slavs on the Balkans)...and all of them are rolling R and have more consonants then vowels....and all of that much more then Scandonavians. Scands used to roll R in Middle Ages just like Anglo-Saxons in Old English or Ængliske (Saxon) ...but they do not roll it anymore that much...or roll much less...however all Slavic speakets roll it very haRdly today as they did before. Most of Indo-Europeans used to Roll the Rs before....in earlier phases...but now, "only" Slavs, Scands...and all Romance speakers (Italians, Spaniatds) as well as all Caucasian Europeans *Ossetians or Iristones? Adyges or Vircassians, Georgians, Armenians, Lezghins, Chechens, ect.) still roll the R !

Lets look at this song a bit the troll she offers him wonderous riches and power in return a curse is lifted from herself but the one thing she can't promise is that she would be a loving and true wife.

Einst eines frühen Morgens noch vor Sonnenaufgang, keines Vogels Lied war erklungen. Da hielt eine Trollin an um des Ritters Hand, doch sie sprach mit gespaltener Zunge. Oh viriler Herr, viriler Herr, so werde mein Mann. Dafür erhalten Sie jegliche Gaben. {Dann mögst du alles kriegen, was dein Herz begehren kann und wirst mich auf ewig lieben.} Ihre Antwort könnt gewiss bloß Ja sein oder Nein. Wollen Sie nun oder nicht? So mag ich Ihnen schenken zwölf Stuten so fein, die grasen im rosigen Hain. Noch nie haben sie Sättel gespürt, noch nie durch Zügel geführt. Oh viriler Herr, viriler Herr, so werde mein Mann. Dafür erhalten Sie jegliche Gaben {Dann mögst du alles kriegen, was dein Herz begehren kann und wirst mich auf ewig lieben.} Ihre Antwort könnt gewiss bloß Ja sein oder Nein. Wollen Sie nun oder nicht? So mag ich Ihnen schenken 12 Mühlen so fein, jene stehen zwischen Tillö und Ternö. Dessen Steine bestehen aus blutrotem Gold, die Mühlenräder mit Silber beladen. Oh viriler Herr, viriler Herr, so werde mein Mann. Dafür erhalten Sie jegliche Gaben {Dann mögst du alles kriegen, was dein Herz begehren kann und wirst mich auf ewig lieben.} Ihre Antwort könnt gewiss bloß Ja sein oder Nein. Wollen Sie nun oder nicht? So mag ich Ihnen schenken ein vergoldetes Schwert, mit einer Klinge aus 15 Goldringen. Und im Gefecht magst du kämpfen wie dir lieb und die Schlacht zweifelsfrei gewinnen. Oh viriler Herr, viriler Herr, so werde mein Mann. Dafür erhalten Sie jegliche Gaben {Dann mögst du alles kriegen, was dein Herz begehren kann und wirst mich auf ewig lieben.} Ihre Antwort könnt gewiss bloß Ja sein oder Nein. Wollen Sie nun oder nicht? So mag ich Ihnen schenken einen Rock ach so neu, den besten den Sie je getragen. Weder mit Nadel noch Faden genäht, doch gehäkelt aus feinster weißer Seide. Oh viriler Herr, viriler Herr, so werde mein Mann. Dafür erhalten Sie jegliche Gaben {Dann mögst du alles kriegen, was dein Herz begehren kann und wirst mich auf ewig lieben.} Ihre Antwort könnt gewiss bloß Ja sein oder Nein. Wollen Sie nun oder nicht? All diese Gaben würd wohl annehmen, wenn Sie denn eine christliche Frau wärn'. Nichts destro trotz, sind Sie der schrecklichste Bergtroll. Die Stimme aus dem Halse des Teufels. Oh viriler Herr, viriler Herr, so werde mein Mann. Dafür erhalten Sie jegliche Gaben {Dann mögst du alles kriegen, was dein Herz begehren kann und wirst mich auf ewig lieben.} Ihre Antwort könnt gewiss bloß Ja sein oder Nein. Wollen Sie nun oder nicht? Die Bergtrollin rannte zur Tür hinaus, ungestüm zitternd und jammernd. Hätte ich doch bloß den holden Ritter rumgekriegt, so wäre ich all meiner Plagen entledigt. Oh viriler Herr, viriler Herr, so werde mein Mann. Dafür erhalten Sie jegliche Gaben {Dann mögst du alles kriegen, was dein Herz begehren kann und wirst mich auf ewig lieben.} Ihre Antwort könnt gewiss bloß Ja sein oder Nein.
