It's very cool. They're actually different versions of it--the Merseburger Zaubersprüche are some of the oldest pieces of German literature, and occasionally they get set to music. I wish I could find a slightly more up-tempo version that doesn't have people grunting the words, so I'll probably go with a more folky version instead. (It's lovely; I just wished it sounded a bit more dramatic.) I think I might just ignore the lyrics completely--they're literally incomprehendable even for Germans, but they *are* magic spells which I think could be neat. Good idea about the title cards, I might use that to give a brief introduction about the song...?
(By the way, here's a trailer for Krabat: it really does have very strong visuals, I'm getting really excited about vidding it now: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sUd43YtS20Y )
