That is simply not what it literally means. It literally means “Behold, this is your soul’s homeland” Literally translated word by word: Oro - behold; Sé - this is (contracted form); Do - your; B(h)eatha - life/soul/lifeforce; Abhaile - home/origin.

Youtube: 'Darach Ó Catháin' He sings a real old style version, recorded 1980's.
It's the version I grew up listening to. Interestingly, Padraig Pearse changed the lyrics in the early 1900's to modernise it for the events of that time. 'Calling all sons and daughters home' 🤝

My greatgrandparents were from Ennis and my Grandma barely spoke Gaeilge but she always use to tear up singing this song and I never could understand why until now 🥺 That makes so much better sense now, thank you.
