I just heard this song for the first time and I couldn't make sense of all the lyrics, but one part of it was definitely in Finnish. That's why I had to google the song (and that's how I found your question) . "Sängyssä lapsia on yksitoista" means there are eleven children in the bed. That's the first line from a Finnish bedtime song for children. It is possible that some of the other lines were also Finnish, but that they were pronounced with such a thick accent that I couldn't make sense of them.

From their myspace page: http://myspace.com/spiralsystem "Lottie Child moves erratically through time and space, making random stops connecting an array of sentiments, senses, situations and sounds. She spins her soft sweet melodies into an intricate web singing in English, Portuguese, Finnish and Tibetan which give her a fresh distinctive sound that she delivers in an intimate and seductive performance."
