I live in SoCal.  Visiting my brother in London, we start talking about music and he turns me onto this station from the States! Probably the most eclectic station I’ve ever heard!!

One man's sublime is another man's "too repetitive"... Vive le difference.
Sounds a bit like Minion's language. 
A lovely and soothing song. 
I don't say I don't like it, but the language sounds like minions.
She certainly has a very pleasant voice.
Two mentions of this being a child's bed time song...no wonder it's putting me to sleep....
I hear "whole milk" in the lyrics near the end of a phrase.

That is the full extent of my comprehension of this songs lyrics.  
Whoo. Just not my style.  Repetitive to the max.

Yes! I think it was on a compilation CD of child songs from across the world.  I don't think I've heard it for over 10 years.  Bill, I don't know your magic for selecting these songs but it's wonderful.. Thank you.
 
I'm in the same boat!  We had that CD and played this song every night to put my infant son to sleep 9 years ago! Lost the disc a long time ago and hadn't heard this song since then.   

What great memories flooding in now hearing this song again :).  Thanks Bill!

Jeez, what's not to like?
Yes, that slice of guitar is Carlos Santana - before you ask!*

*(if Bill ever gets round to playing it, that is!)
