Happy TartanDay! Here's a tune that we're sharing to celebrate, as part of the virtual celebrations being held by NYC Tartan Week and Saint Andrew Society of Saint Louis. Click "Show More" for additional info!
Moch sa Mhadainn (Early in the Morning) is a traditional Scottish Gaelic song that heralds the coming of Prince Charles Edward Stuart. The words were composed by the famous Gaelic poet, Alasdair Mac Mhaighstir Alasdair, who was also Prince Charlie's Galic tutor. Our rendition is inspired by Bear McCreary and Griogair Labhuidh's outstanding performance, as heard in the TV series Outlander.
Tartan Day is a celebration of tartans and Scottish heritage. Originating in Canada, it commemorates the day the Declaration of Arbroath was signed in 1320. 2020 marks the 700th anniversary of of the Declaration, which confirms Scotland's status as an independent, soverign state. The American Declaration of Independence was modelled after this document hundreds of years later.

“Moch Sa Mhadainn” Lyrics (in Gaelic):
Hùg hó ill a ill ó
Hùg hó o ró nàill i
Hùg hó ill a ill ó
Seinn oho ró nàill i.
Moch sa mhadainn is mi dùsgadh,
Is mòr mo shunnd is mo cheòl-gáire;
On a chuala mi am Prionnsa,
Thighinn do dhùthaich Chloinn Ràghnaill.
Gràinne-mullach gach rìgh thu,
Slàn gum pill thusa Theàrlaich;
Is ann tha an fhìor-fhuil gun truailleadh,
Anns a’ ghruaidh is mòr nàire.
Mar ri barrachd na h-uaisle,
Dh’ èireadh suas le deagh nàdar;
Is nan tigeadh tu rithist,
Bhiodh gach tighearna nan àite.
Is nan càraicht an crùn ort
Bu mhùirneach do chàirdean;
Bhiodh Loch Iall mar bu chòir dha,
Cur an òrdugh nan Gàidheal.
“Moch Sa Mhadainn” Lyrics (In English):
Hug ho ill a ill o
Hug ho o ro naill i
Hug ho ill a ill o
Seinn oho ro naill i.
Early in the morning as I awaken
Great is my joy and hearty laughter
Since I’ve heard of the Prince’s coming
To the land of Clanranald
You are the choicest of rulers
May you return unhurt, Charles.
In that most modest cheek
Runs blood that is pure and undefiled.
Along with overflowing nobility
That ever rises up along with good nature
And if you came again
Each laird would be at his post.
And if the crown were placed upon you
Joyful would your friends be
And Lochiel, as he ought,
Would be drawing up the Gaels for battle.
