Soundtrack Q & A
Q: I am trying to find the name of the lullaby song, the words and music, to teach my grand daughter... as she fell in love with the movie.  (from Susan  in Australia )
A: The song is called "Windsong" by James Horner and Will Jennings. Here are the lyrics and the English translation:

Imba wimbo
Wa upepo
Wakati unajiwa na

Imba wimbo wa upepo
Wakati ndoto tamu

Lala mpaka usiku uisheni
Upepo wa usiku
Wimbo wanko na

Wimbo wangu inaendelea milele

English translation:

Sing a song
And for a moment
You will be visited by the wind

Sing a song
And for a moment
Dream sweetly of the wind

Sleep now until the night is dawn
The wind and the night song, they are there
However the song, my child, will go on forever.

(thanks to Hornerfan , Michigan add more info

A: I think the above translation is off. Here's what looks to be the CORRECT translation:

Sing the song of the night wind, the time is coming.
Sing the song of the night wind when having sweet dreams.
Sleep 'til the night wind ends, the night wind will sing for you.
Your song and my song.
It goes on forever.
(thanks to Cheryl , Raleigh, NC add more info
