| Appears On : | Seinn! O Ho Ro Seinn! |
| Language : | Gàidhlig (Scottish Gaelic) |
| Lyrics : | English Translation : |
| Èisg bhig, èisg bhig | Little fish, tiny fish |
| Nach tu tha math air snàmh | Aren't you the good swimmer? |
| Gu dearbha feumaidh mise sin | Indeed I have to be |
| Oir bidh mi snàmh gu bràth | For I have to swim all my life |
| Èisg bhig, èisg bhig | Little fish, tiny fish |
| Am fairich thusa fuachd? | Don't you ever feel the cold? |
| Cha fairich idir, 'ille chòir | I don't feel it at all, fine sir |
| Ged tha mi measg nan stuadh | Though I live among the waves |
| Èisg bhig, èisg bhig | Little fish, tiny fish |
| Dè dh'ith thu an diugh? | What have you eaten today? |
| Lugaichean is boiteagan | Sandworms, worms in general |
| Is smodal anns an t-struth | And bits and pieces from the sea current |
| Èisg bhig, èisg bhig | Little fish, tiny fish |
| Càite bheil do dhachaigh? | Where is your home? |
| Tha mo dhachaigh anns a'chuan | My home is in the sea |
| Mìle mach o'n chladach | A mile out from the shore |
