Do you mean  Dónal agus Mórag?

I'm fairly certain that Dónal agus Mòrag is indeed the song Shefreya is seeking, as Malcolm suggests.

Dónal agus Mòrag is a Rathlin Island version (with a couple of verses added by Prionsias Ó Maonaigh) of
'S i Mòrag
, which is also at another thread

but we've only given you lyrics and you specified TUNE

The Scottish and Rathlin songs have nearly the same tune

Quite possibly there are relevant soundfiles somewhere on the world wide web.

The relevant Altan recording of Dónal agus Mórag is "Harvest Storm".
