I recently came across a musical genre called Bardcore, featuring medieval-style remakes of modern songs.
Findġum Soccum is performed in Old English, circa 11th Century. Spoken in England by the Anglo-Saxons, this preceded the heavy Norman French influence on the language after 1066.
The video includes modern English translations. It's interesting to see how many of the words and pronunciations have changed in the last millennium.
