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.
