'My Heart is In Ireland'

IrishJo

What does "My heart is in Ireland" mean in Irish Gaeilge?

There are many ways to say things similar to what you have posted. However, since most Irish sayings come from a time when overseas travel was rare, there is nothing that matches what you are looking for exactly.

Do you mean 'what does it mean' or 'how do you say it'? If you mean the former, then it depends how it is said - tá mo chroí istigh in Éirinn means I love Ireland, ach tá mo chroí(se) in Éirinn just means 'my heart is in Ireland'.

I wanted to ask how I say it in Gaeilge. Thanks!

That reads more like "my heart is inside Ireland" to me?

Yeah, literally that's exactly what it means, but it is a way of expressing love:

tá mo chroí istigh sa cheol - i love music
tá mo chroí istigh ionat, ach ná déan sin - i love you, but don't do that.

Airím Éire uaim.

I think a direct translation would be ok:

Is in Éirinn atá mo chroí.

That'd work too, except Éire should be in the tuiseal tabharthach, so in Éirinn.
