Herr Mannelig
by Haggard

All'alba, prima che il sole sorgesse
e gli uccelli cantassero la loro dolce canzone
La donna del troll della montagna con lingua falsa
ed ingannevole propose al signore:

Herr Mannelig, Herr Mannelig mi vorrai sposare
Per tutto quello che io dolcemente ti dar�?
Se vorrai, rispondi solo si o no
Farai cos� o no?

Ti dar� i dodici mulini
che stanno tra Tillo e Terno
le macine sono fatte del pi� rosso rame
e le ruote sono cariche d'argento

Herr Mannelig, Herr Mannelig mi vorrai sposare
per tutto quello che io dolcemente ti dar�?
Se vorrai, rispondi solo si o no
Farai cos� o no?

Se tu fossi una donna cristiana
riceverei volentieri regali cos�,
ma io so che sei il peggiore troll della montagna
figlio degli spiriti maligni e del demonio.

Herr Mannelig, Herr Mannelig mi vorrai sposare
per tutto quello che io dolcemente ti dar�?
Se vorrai, rispondi solo si o no
Farai cos� o no?

[Music: Traditional / Lyrics: A. Nasseri]
