I am sorry that we don't have the audio in English available, we do have the text translated into English, available here. The book of Eichah is the book of Lamentations it is traditionally ready on the fast of the Ninth of Av, a day of on which we mourn the destruction of both Holy Temples in Jerusalem and several other tragedies which befell our people on that day.

I don't even know what this megillah is about. It would be helpful if it was also spoken in English.
