@Plasson2 well, strictly speaking it's Faroese with danish pronunciation. But, since Faroese and Icelandic are two very old forms of what Norwegian used to be, and since the danish language was forced upon the high class of Norwegians to speak in the older days, Faroese+Danish accent and Norwegian = almost the same.

I know nothing about Scandinavic languages, but does 'hedde' (or however it's spelled) really mean heath and not plains?
-
It's Norwegian.
The line "over den hede" is added in danish to make it more "danceable" but the main lyrics are in Norwegian.
(Norwegian, Born and raised minutes away from Kringen/Krinken)

@Offe79 Man, it's old Norwegian. Real old Norwegian, and as the Norwegian language is mostly danish is why it seems danish. But as a Norwegian person (proud one) I know for sure this song is in my native language.

@NorthGermanic i must admit i would enjoy it if Denmark made a more sweeden/norway friendly dialect or accent, even if it would be the equivalent to talking to a baby :P
the -only- bad thing about visiting denmark is always making everyone talk really slow, when they understand me just fine.
as for Tyr as your favorite. i think ill have to second that ;)

@NorthGermanic the "new Norwegian" is kinda controversial here, because it is basically a dialect constructed from rural farmers on the West coast. and it is trumpeted by a small minority as "true norwegian" just because it doesnt sound danish.
it is not as much "pro-norwegian" as it is "anti-danish", personaly i use "bokmål", as it is the written form used all over norway, even if it does still have traces of norwegian-danish in it (which i frankly dont mind).
@xxanime2emoxx wrong, icelandic is norse. norway is the only scandinavic country that understands them somewhat. danish was poluted by german. (Schleswig-Holstein)
-norway

@Offe79 but if you find the lyrics of this song and detect the country in a translator it will show you that it's Norwegian
