So, the "dragon-tongue" lyrics from the first teaser trailer for Skyrim were as follows:
Dovahkiin Dovahkiin
Naal ok zin los vahriin
wah dein vokul mahfaeraak ahst vaal
ahrk fin norok paal graan
fod nust hon zindro zaan
Dovahkiin fah hin kogaan mu draal
ahrk fin kel lost prodah
do ved viing ko fin krah
tol fod zeymah win kein meyz fundein
Alduin feyn do jun
kruziik vokun staadnau
voth aan bahlok wah diivon fin lein
which translates to:
Dragonborn Dragonborn
by his honour is sworn
to keep evil forever at bay
and the fiercest foes rout
when they hear triumph's shout
Dragonborn for your blessing we pray
and the scrolls have fortold
of black wings in the cold
that when brothers wage war come unfurled
Alduin bane of kings
ancient shadow unbound
with a hunger to swallow the world
The new trailer features the same lyrics, but they come after some similar sounding lyrics sung to the Elder Scrolls theme. In the video, it sounds like the guy fighting the dragon yells the first line along with the choir at about 1:07.
I was wondering if anyone has the "dragon-tongue" lyrics and English translation for the lyrics heard from 1:08 to 1:30.

The fifth installment in Bethesda's Elder Scrolls franchise is set in the eponymous province of Skyrim, where the ancient threat of dragons, led by the sinister Alduin, is rising again to threaten all mortal races. Only the player, as the prophesied hero the Dovahkiin, can save the world from destruction.
Choir lyrics in the new trailer
" Well, I speak Dragon and couldn't make a lick of sense out of it. Bethesda should really hire some real dragons to do the voice work next time. "@EvilKatarn said:
" @EvilTwin: Yeah, they're really fucking us, who actually speak Dragontongue, over. I mean sure I sometimes catch a few words here and there, but the overall accent and delivery is awful. This is kind of throwing me off the game too :/ "Is Dragontongue basically saying "rawr" with a posh accent?
He says “Fus, Ro, Dah!” Translated into English, “Fus” means force, “Ro” means balance, and “Dah” means push.
I thought there would be some kind of lord-of-the-rings-esque library of translation resources for Elder Scrolls, but I guess not. The translation above must be from a press release or something.
" He says “Fus, Ro, Dah!” Translated into English, “Fus” means force, “Ro” means balance, and “Dah” means push. "You're mistaken.
"Fus, Ro, Dah!" actually means "STOP RIGHT THERE, DRAGON SCUM!"
" @yoshimitz707 said:Lol'd." He says “Fus, Ro, Dah!” Translated into English, “Fus” means force, “Ro” means balance, and “Dah” means push. "You're mistaken.
"Fus, Ro, Dah!" actually means "STOP RIGHT THERE, DRAGON SCUM!" "
In relation to the topic, I thought Bethesda were making some new dragon language? S'what I've seen about.
the only part of your lyrics that i heard was the first two words : Dovahkiin, Dovahkiin ..
the rest doesnt sound like what they're singing
