Since it's old Norse, I reckon it should be something like "Hvil i fred".

Think it's more like... "Tear it up Jimmy"

sadly there are many places where old dialects are dying out. On the Barbary coast in Sunderland there was a language 8ased on Norse with mainly Norse words spoken mostly by women and Children until the community was destroyed by German bombing and the advent of the radio. Just a few people now survive who recall it,
