Herr Manneling | Swedish folk song | Garmarna cover

Herr Mannelig (also known as Bergatrollets frieri "The Courting of the Mountain Troll) is a Swedish folk ballad that tells the story of a female mountain troll (bergatroll) who proposes marriage to a young human man. The troll is trying to convince "Sir Mannelig" (Herr Mannelig) to marry her. She offers him many gifts but he refuses her because she is not a Christian. It's also implied that the troll is actually a pagan woman and that the song symbolizes a young Christian man resisting the material gain that would come with apostasy.

Here is the original song by the Swedish band Garmarna so you can hear the original version and voice pronanciation.
Emma, the lead singer is prononcing the R:s a little extra from modern swedish but this an older version of modern swedish. The lyrics are also whrighten in an older version of swedish. Its not the same version as the one that would have been spooken during viking times but a little bit more modern.
Its a hard song to cover n its 1000dns of covers but its a good effort n its good that the song lives on.
Greatings from Stockholm, Sweden! 21:11!

It's not Garmarna's song, it's a traditional song.

Damn the ending! - Great version. Love the Garmarna version, as well as the one from In Extremo (which packs more of a punch). There is also an interesting italian kind of operesque version out there (Edit: Looked it up, it is by Cas for anyone interested). You done a great job with that wonderful song!

If a Viking went missing did they put a drawing of him on the side of a milking pail?

Smoking tobacco did not arrive in Europe until after Columbian Exchange. Tobacco is native to South America. Hashish (THC) on other hand was available. So what is the Viking smoking?

[@n.hauser6438]

I’m also pretty sure vikings didn’t have pointy ears or modern instruments and jewellery like shown in the music video. It’s just a stylistic, historically inaccurate, choice 🤷‍♀️
But if anyone had any knowledge or good sources on vikings’ drug use I’d be very interested in that

Pretty good cover and I'd say you pronounce Swedish better than most speakers of agglutinative languages would, but I notice a little over-softening in the consonant clusters, (in Danish pronunciation you would soften them this much) Still very understandable and beautiful!

[@lostinthewoodsmusic]

Thank you very much, to be honest, I don’t speak the language and I learned all the words only by hearing the pronunciation from other performers. In general, I really like the culture of the Nordic countries, maybe I should seriously think about learning the language
