Song ID "I wanna know if it's al-er-right"

Here is a musical niggle I've had for many years. It's a very minimalistic earthy song. I can't tell if it's from the 80's or 90's, but it features a Clannad style (Gothic?) woman singing "I wanna know if it's alright, I wanna know if it's alright" and the "alright" is dragged out to 3 syllables like "al-er-right". I'm actually quite sure that's not what she singing, but that's the only think I can think of that fits the sound she makes.

My best phonetic interpretation of the lyrics is: "Haddano(pause) fits on a ryde, A-haddano(pause) fits on a ryyyyyde" (Gaelic, maybe?)

I think it might have been remixed recently. I hear it sometimes as background music on TV commercials etc. It's a very distinctive melody and I'm sure everyone would know what song I was on about if I could sing it on here :)........

Can anyone help??

Could it possibly be "Now We Are Free" by Hans Zimmer & Lisa Gerrard from the Gladiator Soundtrack?
