Here's an ongoing transcription by 2chan
Here is a rough translation of the ending by ear from a non-member (Aenigma on Rizon):
15:00
Rei: "It's okay, I can just live here now."
Shinji: "Nah I'm gonna help you"
16:00
Ritsuko: Something about disabling self destruct and going into a divine form and making energy in this form, and it only lives for that purpose.
18:00
Fuyutsuki: "Their bond is very strong"
18:50
Shinji: "Thanks, regarding my dad."
Rei: "Sorry I couldn't do anything."
Shinji: "It's okay like this."
19:10
Mari: "Now I see how it was... The smell was different"
20:00
Ritsuko: "The angel's dead. It's like 15 years ago. Third Impact is going to start. The world is going to end."

25:30
Misato: "What the fuck is that?"
Kaworu: "It's the promised time, Shinji. At last, I'll make you experience paradise."
RockManBalls commenting on Ritsuko's dialogue (ripped out of the spoilers discussion thread):
RockManBalls wrote:She tells Shinji he won't be able to go back to human form if he keeps ripping off Gurren Lagann. Then Misato tells Shinji to keep going because he's piloting for himself even though he just said he doesn't care what happens to the world as long as he saves Ayanami. Ritsuko begins on a long tangent about Unit-01 returning to it's original form, throwing off the "curse" humans had put on it, going beyond human beings and becoming a God. She says Unit-01 is becoming an energy converter creating a giant wave which all life will be sucked into. Later on she says it has become a new form of life and all previous life will be destroyed. Never says much about instrumentality. Just pwnstrumentality.
Google translation of Ritsuko's dialogue based on the 2chan transcript:
Ritsuko: Regained its original appearance and Eva had to keep in range of people ... to solve the curse of his people, over people, will change to more of a God ... and all things spun the heavens and the earth, The huge swell of complementarity, I will have to transform the energy of condensation of the wishes of the people themselves ...
...
Ritsuko: Management of this world exceeds the birth of a new organism. The old life as a price fall.
Misato: the wings!? The same 15 years ago!!!
Ritsuko: Yeah ... more of the Second Impact, the beginning of the Third Impact, the end of the world
Lili's call and take on Kaworu's line:
LiLi wrote:"Saa, yakusoku no toki da, Ikari Shinji-kun. Kondo koso kimi dake ha, shiawase ni shite miseru yo..."
"Come now, this is the promised time, Ikari Shinji-kun. This time*, I will make you, at least, happy..."
*could also be taken to mean "now". koso = "for sure", added for emphasis.
Regarding the music:
LiLi wrote:The title is "Tsubasa wo kudasai" (Give Me Wings) - a song published by folk group Akai Tori in 1971, I think.
