438. Sir Mannelig Garmarna Herr Mannelig

перевод песни "Пан Манэліг" исполнителя Garmarna и группы "Litvintroll" (Беларусь)

Once, early in the morning, before the rising sun
And before the birds get up to sing.
The mountain troll proposed to the young and handsome man;
Her false tongue was hypocritical and slick.

"Sir Mannelig, Sir Mannelig, will you marry me
For this, I gladly grant all your wishes.
Just answer, yes or no, just tell me this, please
Will you do so for me or not?"

For this, I'll gladly give you the twelve greatest steeds
In a shady and wild grove of roses.
Never has a saddle been mounted upon them,
Nor briddles, I swear, in their mouths.

For this, I'll gladly give you the twelve greatest mills
That stand between Tillo and Terno.
The stones are made of the reddest gold that you have ever seen,
And the precious wheels are silver-laden.

For this, I'll gladly give you the unique and gilded sword
With a jingle of fifteen gold rings.
With it, in every battle that you have ever wanted,
On the battlefield, you surely win.

For this, I'll gladly give you a shirt, so new and red,
The most lustrous that you've ever worn.
I swear, it is not sewn by needle or thread,
But of white silk, it's carefully crocheted.

"Such gifts I would receive and trust your marriage false
If you were now a Christian woman.
However, you are damned, the worst of mountain trolls;
You're the spawn of the Neck and the Devil"

The mountain troll ran out; behind the door, she hid herself.
There she wailed, and she shrieked so loud.
"Oh damn, had I gotten that young and handsome man,
I would be free from my torment so hard"
