Early one morning, before the sun rose
Before the birds began to sing
The mountain troll proposed to the fair young man
She had a deceitful tongue
Ref:
Herr Mannelig, Herr Mannelig, will you marry me?
For I offer you so gladly
You can only answer yes or no
Whether you want to or not
I will give you the twelve horses
That graze in the rose garden
Never has a saddle been on them
Nor a bridle in their mouths
Ref:
I will give you the twelve mills
That stand between Tillo and Terno
The stones are made of the reddest gold
And the wheels are silver-plated
Ref:
I will give you a gilded sword
That rings with fifteen gold rings
And fight however you want to fight
You shall choose the battlefield
Ref:
I will give you a new shirt
The best you have ever worn
It is not sewn with needle or thread
But knitted from white silk
Ref:
Such gifts I would gladly accept
If you were a Christian woman
But now you are the worst mountain troll
Of the lineage of Neck and the devil
Ref:
The mountain troll ran out the door
She shivers and groans in sorrow
If I had caught the fair young man
Then I would have lost my power
Added 26 minutes ago
Kissing

The red light of the sun,
slowly descending.
The sky is all I see,
it's never ending.
We could fly,
you and I.
On a cloud,
kissing, kissing.
The wind plays with the leaves,
the weather turns colder.
But as long as we believe,
love doesn't get older.
We could fly,
you and I.
On a cloud,
kissing, kissing.
On a journey of the heart,
there's so much to see.
And when the sky is dark,
you'll be right here,
right here with me.
Right here with me.
Kissing.
(Kissing, kissing)
(A journey of the heart)
