Erin Go Bragh Meaning
Did you wonder what that means? I guess, it’s time to find out what “Erin Go Bragh” stands for.
Actually it stands for “Ireland Forever”, but can also have the following translations:
“Ireland until eternity”
“Ireland until the end (of time)”
“Ireland until the Day of Judgment”
Where does it come from?

And the name I go under’s bold Erin-go-braghOne night in Auld Reekie as I walked down the street
A saucy big polis I chanced for to meet
He glowered in my face and he gi’ed me some jaw
Sayin’ “When cam’ ye over, bold Erin-go-bragh?”
