/Sounds like "mah" (as in "mark") + "droo" (as in "drew") + "GAHR" (as in "garden")/
To wake up very early, before dawn or at the crack of day. In Mexico and Central America, madrugar is treated as a virtue: the one who rises early gets ahead. It also works figuratively to mean getting a head start on something or beating someone to the punch.
“We need to get up early tomorrow to beat the crowds.”
“The early bird catches the worm.”
