Based on the Book of Protection (Paritta Sutta) from the Pali canon, the Jaya Mangala Gatha is sung here in a rare recording by the Mahabodhi Society of India in original Pali.  The Jaya Mangala Gatha is a chant recommended by the Buddha to destroy negativity and to generate auspiciousness.  It proclaims the 8 major victories of the Buddha which are:
1) Victory over Mara
2) Victory over the demon Alavaka
3) Victory over the wild elephant Nalagiri
4) Victory over serial killer Angulimala
5) Victory over the evil intentions of Cinca who sought to defame
6) Victory over the haughty brahmin Saccaka
7) Victory over the serpent king Nandopananda
8) Victory over the false views of Brahma Baka

It is important to understand that most of these are allegorical stories that relate to the Buddha defeating the negative aspects of his (Mara and Alavaka) and others' minds.
It is said that these verses if chanted with a clear and pure intention are helpful in protecting the seeker by attracting the Good around.  
The Pali pronunciation here is exemplary and difficult to find.

English translation:

Creating thousand hands, with weapons
armed was Mara seated on the
trumpeting, ferocious elephant Girimekhala.
Him, together with his army, did the
Lord of Sages subdue by means of generosity and other   virtues.
By its grace may joyous victory be thine.


More violent than Mara were the
indocile, obstinate demon Alavaka, who
battled with the Buddha throughout the
whole night.
Him, did the Lord of Sages
subdue by means of His patience and
self-control.
By its grace may joyous victory be thine.


Nalagiri, the mighty elephant, highly
intoxicated was raging like a forest-fire
and was terrible as thunder-bolt.
Sprinkling the waters of loving-kindness,
this ferocious Beast, did the Lord of
Sages subdue.
By its grace may joyous victory be thine.


With uplifted sword, for a distance of
three leagues, did wicked Angulimala
run. The Lord of Sages subdued him by
His psychic powers.
By its grace may joyous victory be thine.


Her belly bound with faggots, to simulate
the bigness of pregnancy, Cinca, with
harsh words made foul accusation in the
midst of an assemblage. Her, did the
Lord of Sages subdue by His serene and
peaceful bearing.
By its grace may Joyous victory be thine.


Haughty Saccaka, who ignored truth, was
like a banner in controversy, and his
vision was blinded by his own
disputation. Lighting the lamp of
wisdom, Him did the Lord of Sages
subdue.
By its grace may Joyous victory be thine.


The wise and powerful serpent
Nandopananda, the Noble Sage caused
to be subdued by the psychic power of
his disciple son (Thero Moggallana).
By its grace may joyous victory be thine.


The pure, radiant, majestic Brahma,
named Baka, whose hand was grievously
bitten by the snake of tenacious false-views,
the Lord of Sages cure with His
medicine of wisdom.
By its grace may joyous victory be thine.


The wise one, who daily recites and
earnestly remembers these eight verses
of joyous victory of the Budhha, will get
rid of various misfortunes and gain the
bliss of Nirvana.
