Some guy on ICQ posted this in a chat room. Here's what he had to say about it. (I don't know whether any of it's true.)
its an old swedish folksong about a mountain troll woman asking a human man to marry her..offering him gifts for the marrige
well the man wont marry the troll because she is not christian...
u have to remember its a very old tune
trolls where beings of another world living paralel with humans..trolls could capture humans and bring them to their world under the ground
trolls where not ugly in old folclore..they where actually more beutiful then humans many times..specially the girls..
but the consept of trolls have many aspects and dimentions..some times they have taken the part of giants and are a destructive force..sometimes they are like beings of the forest and sometimes they are like humans but lving in a mirror world like a paralell dimention..
the diffrent parts of the trolls have changed from time to time...they have been givien diffrent roles in the folklore
