What does "Гой" mean?
The best example that I can find of this is the Аркона song "Гой, Роде, Гой" in which Rod is the Slavic God of the Universe. I have heard that it is a hailing, and the song is generally translated as "Hail, Rod, Hail" but I have also heard that it is a simple expression such as "Oy" or "Ugh."

It is an obsolete word. I had to turn to a dictionary to find out its definition.
It says: “interjection. Used to express a greeting or to address someone”.
So I think “hail” fits properly.
Hope you understand my English. :)

"Гой" - в современных иврите и идише - обозначение нееврея, что значит "Иноверец".
В настоящее время слово "Гой", вошедшее во многие языки (в частности, в русский и английский), обозначает нееврея. Словарное значение этого слова в русском языке - "Иноверец у иудеев". И это слово совершенно нигде не используется. Я его никогда не встречал.

Гой это слава!! Слава Роду, старославянскому богу всего сущего. Если верить гуглу. Hail это наверное heil ( немецкий), да здравствует!! Могу и ошибаться
