I heard it a couple of years ago and really liked it, it was about a woman called Marie Kenny (or something similar) who falls in love with the sea and leaves her life on the land.The song is sung from the point of view of her family members left behind. Oh and it was in Irish. Anyone know?

An Mhaighdean Mhara (The mermaid)

It's about a mermaid (Mary Chinidh) who must leave her daughter (Máire) and husband (Pádraig) and return to the sea forever.
