Off topic: Portugese speakers?

[JamStone]

There's a song titled "Bebete Voabora" by an artist named Jorge Ben. It's not translatable because I think it's somewhat slang. Anyone know what the title means?

[ATX Spur]

Bebete is a female name in Brazilian Portuguese. Voatora is an adjective that means "flying". Any chance the word from the song is spelled with a 't' instead of a 'b'? Hope that helps, it's about the best I can do.

[ATX Spur]

Unless the word is Vaobora which is a very slang way of saying 'vamos embora', like 'lets go'.

[Bob Lanier]

ATX Spur is right. Vãobora is a lazy spoken form of vamos embora.

It's essentially "Let's go, Bebete".

[JamStone]

It is "vaobora."

I'm not completely sure that makes sense for the song, "Let's go, Bebete," but it's the best response I've gotten so far.

I was also told that it had something to do with "drinking."

I don't know. Thanks for your help.
