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

    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.

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

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

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

    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.
