the song is called Funeral of Théodred also known as Lament for Théodred, sung by Miranda Otto.
lyrics in Old English (Rohirric) with translation:

Nú on théostrum licgeth Théodred se léofa
Now dear Théodred lies in darkness,

hæ´letha holdost.
most loyal of fighters.

ne sceal hearpan sweg wigend weccean;
The sound of the harp shall not wake the warrior;

ne winfæ´t gylden guma sceal healdan,
nor shall the man hold a golden wine-cup,

ne god hafoc geond sæ´l swingan,
nor good hawk swing through the hall,

ne se swifta mearh burhstede beatan.
nor the swift horse stamp in the courtyard.

Bealocwealm hafað fréone frecan forth onsended
An evil death has set forth the noble warrior

giedd sculon singan gléomenn sorgiende
A song shall sing sorrowing minstrels

on Meduselde thæt he ma no wære
in Meduseld that he is no more,

his dryhtne dyrest and maga deorost.
to his lord dearest and kinsmen most beloved.
*******
Beowulf: (line 2265): Bealocwelm hafað fela feorhcynna forð onsended... 'Baleful death has many of my living kin sent forth...'

Why german had made a different version to the original? In italian, in this part, we have the original part in english sung by Miranda Otto. Strange! :o

[PeepMeowMusic]

@MaraTheVampire I don't know, maybe they didn't like it ;)

[Uriel333]

the german version just sucks....

[sternberg1]

Seltsam dass sogar der Gesang synchronisiert wurde, dass hätte man dem Ergebnis nach besser lassen sollen...
