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 asIdir thuaidh is idir theas

Idir thiar is idir thoirIdir am is idir áit

As an sliogánAmhrán na farraigeSuaimhneach ná ciúinAg cuardú go damantaMo ghrá

Tá mé i dtiúin

Between the here, between the nowBetween the north, between the south

From the shellThe song of the seaNeither quiet nor calmSearching for love again

Mo ghrá

Mo ghrá

Mo ghrá

Tá mé i dtiúin
