Eihwar - Sir Mannelig (Rewritten Nordic Folk Song)

Sir Mannelig is a rewritten version of the nordic folk song Herr Mannelig, extracted from Eihwar's new album 'Viking War trance'.

In the Swedish traditional ballad "Herr Mannelig", a female troll in love with a Christian tries to give him her heart, but he violently rejects her because she is only a mountain troll and not a Christian lady. In this new version, Eihwar has restored the troll's credentials and, this time, she finds herself in the position of the one who is courted by the Christian, who is rejected because she refuses to bend the knee to Christian morality.

ᚨ Lyrics:
"Sir Mannelig, Sir Mannelig,
You are so proud on your stone,
You would marry me, oh you would marry me
And claim my heart as your own,
I would agree oh, if you were a troll,
Not a knight of the cross, so cold.
I won’t be a slave to your morality,
Nor shall I bend the knee."

First time we've heard Eihwar sing in English, and the first time we've heard Sir Mannelig's lyrics so clearly, and in English!
We love it! Thank you!

[Jake-qbf]

I am absolutely in love with her voice. So beautiful to me.

[paulcopper]

Never thought you'd do a Herr Mannelig cover but in English. You both are full of surprises!

[embellora]

This is the best song at showcasing both of your talents that you've released. Absolutely beautiful.

Waking up to an Eihwar notification on a Freyja? Did I fight a troll in my sleep and enter Valhalla? That was....beautiful....

[melancolielupine]

Herr Mannelig is like one of my fav songs of all times and I absolutely love how you reinterpreted the story and the melody. Blessed be, Midgard siblings ❤️

[Odinthewolf]

Both of you are amazing you got a voice of a valkyrie

[VatraWave]

I've been very impressed by Eihwar's songs since coming across Eihwar about a year ago. And this is yet another song I could get behind and sing along (Mostly in the shower as the best singers sing in the shower obviously! )

Very impressed! :D

[Niedfyr]

Like those re-interpretations. Its not about carrying the ashes, but to keep the spark alive.

Cover absolument hypnotisant.
Je ne connaissais pas la chanson de base avec des paroles en Anglais, mais ça rend plutôt bien !
Félicitations à vous deux, charmant duo !
PS : votre voix me donne des frissons sur cette chanson, vous êtes très forte !

Love it!
You know, one day you will make your first music video with actors, drone camera and effects and I will say that I am happy for you. And you will look back on this video, smile, and say: "Look where we started!"
You certainly deserve the views and the love of the people. You have talent and soul. Thank you for making music and please, continue!
