The term brách is equivalent to 'eternity' or 'end of time', meaning the phrase may be translated literally as 'Ireland until eternity' or 'Ireland to the end (of time)'. This linguistic shift (dative forms replacing nominative) is common among Irish nouns of the second and fifth declensions. In all other dialects the distinction between the nominative Éire and the dative Éirinn is retained.

The standard version in Irish is Éire go Brách, which is pronounced. Erin go Bragh is an anglicisation of the phrase Éirinn go Brách in the Irish language.
