some recordings of Dh'èirich Mi Moch Madainn Chèitein: Kathleen Mac Innes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2_jVUs9bAGI Ainsley Hamill & Alastair Paterson https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJn8MewHwhk Margaret Bennett and Martyn Bennett https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YFNfG42ExRM And a different set of lyrics: DH'ÉIRICH MI MOCH MADAINN CHÉITEIN Fail ill é hill ù hill ó Hiuraibh ó na hó ro éile Fail ill é hill ù hill ó. Dh'éirich mi moch madainn Chéitein, Mas moch an-diugh bu mhuich' an dé e. 'S binn a' chòisir rinn mi éisdeachd. Smeòraichean air bhàrr nan geugan, Uiseagan os cionn an t-sléibhe. 'S bòidhche fhiamh 's a' ghrian ag éirigh, Madainn chiùin fo dhriùchd nan speuran, Bric air linneachan a' leumraich. Leannaidh slàinte agus éibhneas Riùthasan a bhios moch ag éirigh. translation I arose early on a May morning. If early today it was earlier yesterday. Sweet was the choir I listened to, thrushes on the tops of the branches, larks above the moor. Beautiful is the prospect, with the sun rising, a calm morning under the dew of the heavens, trout leaping in the pools. There will follow health and happiness for those who rise early
