The Song | Clip from the animated movie ‘Song of the Sea’
Song of the Sea tells the story of Ben and his little sister Saoirse – the last Seal-child – who embark on a fantastic journey across a fading world of ancient legend and magic in an attempt to return to their home by the sea.
The film takes inspiration from the mythological Selkies of Irish folklore, who live as seals in the sea but become humans on land.

Idir ann is idir as
Idir thuaidh is idir theas
Idir thiar is idir thoir
Idir am is idir áit
As an sliogán
Amhrán na farraige
Suaimhneach ná ciúin
Ag cuardú go damanta
Mo ghrá
Tá mé i dtiúin
Between the here, between the now
Between the north, between the south
From the shell
The song of the sea
Neither quiet nor calm
Searching for love again
Mo ghrá
Mo ghrá
Mo ghrá
Tá mé i dtiúin
