Well, that is actually a Mandalorian Beer Song If I Am Not Mistaken.

Wait...so your saying it was Mandolorians singing that high, for a Master Jedi and a Sith apprentice, on NABOO (no mando presnce known), singing for them......? where did you ever hear that......

He's kidding, son. The name of the song is "Duel of the Fates," although I'd like to hear the scene dubbed to a Mandalorian Drinking Song.

You were asking for the lyrics, right? I think I remember from special features on the DVD that part of it was something like 'Korah Ratahma.' Anyway, here's what Wikipedia has to say:

It has been claimed that the text is a line from an ancient Welsh poem Cad Goddeu (Battle of the Trees), rendered in poetic form by author Robert Graves as "Under the tongue root a fight most dread, and another raging behind, in the head", and later translated in Sanskrit. However, the lyrics as sung do not correspond to the Sanskrit words one might expect, and do not form coherent phrases; it is difficult, from either the sung lyrics or the "phonetic" transcription to determine what the original words were. If the poem does form the lyrics, they may be a reference to The Empire Strikes Back and the fight between Luke and the dark side apparition of Darth Vader on Dagobah.
