This isn't an actual language they just took parts of pronunciations of different languages from all around the world to make all they phrases that people speak sound real as a cultural song.

The CRC Children's Choir in Beijing sing in a very ancient Mandarin dialect that hasn't been spoken for centuries. The chorus and bridge are made-up phonetics, chosen for their "shape". AOMUSIC songs are "universal" with no special allegiance to a particular nation or ethnic group, which lends to a primary message of GLOBAL UNITY. The composers are careful that no main body of lyrics or style are well known to a particular region. The Beijing Olympic Committee chose AOMUSIC for this reason.

The lyrics of this song are "made up" phonetics like many of the songs produced by AO... The idea is to hold no allegiance to any particular ethnicity, so the sound is exotic from wherever on the earth you're from... The intended impression is a sense of "UNITY"... Thanks for asking!

Hey-JayQ3586 and Starplaque-- this song is on AO's new album called Twirl, which is due to come out later this month (don't know the exact date.) After that, I'm sure the song will be available for download on various music sites. Check out AO's MySpace page for more info!
