Need a quick Gaelic translation

[Jerry]

maybe Mardh is supposed to be a pun? an ungrammatical pun of some kind?For example my sister dances with an Irish-dance studio called An Cor Rud. Zing!

Don't mean to hijack this thread, but I have see them perform several times. I don't know which dancer is your sister, but from the youngest dancers to the most experienced, they are all very good.

meaning...?

[Galician]

I know but usually if I can get the words figured out I can play with the phrase and get the meaning.

Does the suggested translation sound right for you? It would certainly sound appropriate to the Cleveland band, as a memorial one composed of firefighters, largely for funerals and memorial services.

For a purely social band, though, I'd find it a bit grim.

Like The Cleveland Firefighters Memorial Pipes and Drums

Thanks for the link JohnsonK

I got ahold of our Pipe Sargent this morning and he confimed that it is "Honor Our Fallen" before I had a chance to check here. Thanks for the help.
Yes Galician it does seem a bit grim but, our band's creation was instituted by the County Sheriff with a mainly memorial and civic function in mind, as a means of honoring our own in the dept. It was the Sheriff's decision at the time to make our motto "Honor Our Fallen". He writes the checks for supplies! But he has given us more latitude to do other functions and we get paid for it as a band so our budgetary impact is very little now.

Thanks everyone,

Brad

Well, if it's Scots Gaelic, Na can be Than or What depending on the usage.
Mardh is March, but as in the month rather than marching.

The phrase altogether doesn't really make any sense to me. Gramatically speaking as well as the wording used it is pretty much just 4 words strung together.
(I will point out again, though, my Gaelic still has a long way to go.)

It means respect or honour your dead

"na" is the plural definate article, as in dead - plural meaning everyone who is not living.
