Is the literal translation of Erin go bragh Ireland be proud or go proudly?

In: Ireland [Edit categories]

Answer:

It doesn't mean either of those.

Erin is an anglicsation of "Éirinn". Éirinn means "Ireland" (it's the dative of Éire).

go brágh should be "bráth / brách" (brágh is Gàidhlig).

"Go bráth" means "until Judgement day"

Bráth comes from the old Irish word "to judge" (the modern word is breith).
