Sleep my baby on my busom
Warm and cosy it will prove
Round thee mothwers arms are folding
In her heart a mothers love.
Then shall no one come to harm thee
Nought shall ever break they rest
Sleep my darling baby quiet
Sleep on mothers gentle breast.

A wonderful, underrated film, imo. The young Christian Bale was magnificent. The song, a Welsh lullaby, 'Suo Gan,' was beautifully sung by one of the top English boy sopranos of the time, James Rainbird. I've often wondered if that song was chosen as the film's theme because the Welsh tune sounds something like a Chinese mode; and also, I suppose, because it is an innocent sound, reflective of the main character's boyhood.
