I know what my help me memorise a bit more Old Norse! Translations of some lines 9at least) of the kvæðini that I can understand in Faroese. Also just for everyone's interest! Who thinks they could do that?
How about we start at...
Kongurin situr á hásæti, Talar við sínar dreingir, “Vit skulu sigla tann salta sjógv, Tað havi eg hugsað leingi”

I think having an English semi-literal translation would help us translate into Old Norse more accurately. Could you provide this?

Of that? I can do
The king sits on (a) throne, Speaking with his sons/boys We shall sail the salty sea, That I have long dreamed of.

Hmmmmm...
Konungrinn sitr á hásæti, Talar með hans drengir, "Vér skulum sigla á salta sæ, Þat hugsaði ek lengi"
That's the best I've got.
