Well the line: Veñia a nos etú reino.

means: That it may come to us, your reign, so the subjunctive is being
used here to indicate "thy kingdom come". As far as I can tell, it's
fairly common, at least in the following Ibero-Romance languages:
Mozarabic, Sanabrian Asturian, Western Asturian, Mirandés, Estremaduran,
Brazilian Portuguese, Galician, and Eonavian Galician.

Interestingly in Aragonese, the line is "Bienga ta nosotros o reino"

I suppose different versions may or may not have it.

>"danosle": where does that come from?
In Montreiano as in Spanish, it's common for the object and indirect
object pronouns to become clitics and suffixed to the verb:

Da - give (command) nos - (to) us le - it

"Danosle"

Caer is from the Latin word "Cadere" and means "To fall"

Yes, it follows the same form as danosle:

Livra - free, nos - us

"livranos"

With commands the pronoun is often cliticized:

Dame! - give (to) me!
Faulanos! - talk to us!
