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.

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.

@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.

Yeah, it was in one of the game informer articles on dragon shouts.

Holy crap.  I'm glad I know this exists.  I know now that I am not the biggest loser who'll be playing Skyrim. ; )

The theme is pretty bad-ass. It's significantly more bad-ass when combined with it's brethren though:

You're mistaken.  
 
"Fus, Ro, Dah!" actually means "STOP RIGHT THERE, DRAGON SCUM!"

You're mistaken.

Lol'd.
In relation to the topic, I thought Bethesda were making some new dragon language? S'what I've seen about.
