I love this song sung in Cheetah Girls 2. I understand that it is a lullaby but it is so beautiful it makes me cry.

there are a couple of words that I cannot translate as written by people who have written down the lyrics-not my spellings:

fuenticita (that run clear and sonorus)
I believe it may be a stream or creek

and

ruisenor (that in the forest singing)

the entire song is written as:

A la nanita nana nanita ella nanita ella
Mi niña tiene sueno bendito sea, bendito sea
(repeat)

Fuentecita que corre clara y sonora
Ruiseñor que en la selva cantando llora
Calla mientras la cuna se balansea
A la nanita nana, nanita ella

A la nanita nana nanita ella nanita ella
Mi niña tiene sueno bendito sea, bendito sea

Fuentecita que corre clara y sonora
Ruiseñor que en la selva cantando llora
Calla mientras la cuna se balansea
A la nanita nana, nanita ella
(from Yahoo answers)

ruisenor is a nightingale

nightingale in the forest singing crying quiets while the crib balances (stops rocking)

A fuente is a spring, so a fuentecita is literally a little spring.

A ruiseñor is a nightingale.
