Hello!
I'm an Italian student and I'm learning Old Norse since the beginning of
may...
I started while I was trying to understand some lyrics from a song, thinking
that they were in Old Norse... but now that I've learnt a little, it seems
to me that that language was not really Old Norse... so now I'm really
curious about theese mysterious songs and I wonder if there is anybody able
to recognise what language I was dealing with.
Here are the lyrics (there may be some errors, but not too many):

I Troldskog Faren Vild

De ventede Tøsens Hiemkomst
Hun vaer i mørck Skog faren vild
Sneens Tepper hafde bredet sig hen
Paa Stien hiem - hendes eeneste Ven

Om hun bare kunde
Folge Stiernernes Baner
Ey hun skulde vildfare
Blandt disse mørcke Graner

Skogens mørcke Arme forbarmede sig ofver dend fremmede Giæst
Giorde hende vaer i siine inderste Tankers Veemod
At i Bergekongens Kammer tørstes efter Christenblod

[De Underjordiske:]
"Det nærmer sig stille: Een sørgeklæst Pige
Sidder derinde med foldede Hænder
Hun sender een Bøn til det himmeldske Rige"

Ofver hendes Hode
Det drybber fra Qviist
Draabe for Draabe som Blodet
Fra Kroppen til Jesu Christ

[Pigen:]
"Aa, eismal i ein uggin Skog
Eg kjenn at i Kveld
I Kveld tenkjer ingen paa meg"

I apologize if I'm a little bit off-topic, and I thank really a lot to
anynone that can help me!!
Bye!
Mircea.
