It's actually "Eireann go bragh!"

It means - "Long Live Ireland!" or "Ireland Forever!"

Here are a few more Irish terms you might like to try out!

Dia duit- God be with you.
Dia is Muire duit - God and Mary be with you. (Said in reply)

Conas atá tú ? - How are you?
Tá mé go maith.- I'm doing well.

Maith thú - Well done / Way to go etc.

Sláinte - Cheers.

Sláinte chugat - Good health to you.

Go raimh maith agat - Thanks.

Gurab amhlaidh duit - The same to you.
Tá failte romhat - You are welcome.


Nollaig shona duit- Happy Christmas

Cheers!

Happy Paddy's Day!

Ireland Forever

Forever Ireland

ireland forever or ireland eternally.

It means Ireland Forever. It hangs in almost every bar/pub in Ireland. There are Gaelic/English dictionaries that you can look it up in if you wish.

Éireann go Brách = Ireland Forever, Pronunciation: /Erin guh brawk/, Downloads: 19,370

The popular phrases "Erin go Bragh" or "Erin go Braugh" mean Ireland forever. It's the anglicised version of the Gaelic phrase which would be known to some Irish Americans (although its English spelling is quite meaningless).

I've been told and seen on greeting cards since I was a kid that the phrase "Erin go braugh" means "Ireland forever." Something as beautiful as Ireland SHOULD last forever!!

Forever Ireland

Quite literally, it means "Ireland Forever." To put it in our very incompetent English terms, "long live Ireland."

It is the anglicized spelling of the phrase "Éireann go Brách" (Ireland forever). "Éire go Brách" is also acceptable


My Grandmother who arrived here in the states in the early 1900's via Ellis Island from Ireland told me it meant "Ireland Forever". That being said she also said that for the people of her generation it really said "Green go the Irish"

Go bragh and go deo both mean forever though. And did you know that Fear = man and Féar = grass?

"Éireann go Brách" which means "Ireland forever" More loosely translated, it would mean 'Long Live Ireland'.

I believe â€ËœErin go Braughâ€â„¢ is actually Gaelic for 'Ireland Forever.' The term Erin means Ireland and go Braugh translates to forever. Hence 'IRELAND FOREVER'.

erin go bragh means eire for ever,i have a tattoo of it on my chest beside my heart!

it means ireland forever trust me im irish


Other meanings

It means Ireland be free

It means (Ireland go Brave) a battle cry, this information from a member of a Celtic Band who performs a lot of Scottish and Irish music and this lady's husband is from Scotland.

Definitions

"Éireann go Brách" is the correct spelling, but when translated to English I don't think it matters whether it is spelt braugh or bragh because it is not easy to see the correct pronunciation unless spelt in Irish, though I do believe it is more commonly spelt as Braugh. Probably depends on where you are and who is spelling it. This is a common problem when Irish words are Anglicised!

(also commonly spelled Erin Go Braugh) is the Anglicization of a Gaelic phrase used to express allegiance to Ireland. It is most often translated as "Ireland Forever", and pronounced /ˈɛrɪn gə brɔː/.


Failte (fault'ya) is the Irish word for welcome. Cead mile failte romhat means 100,000 Welcomes.
