: This is the first line from a song, that sensual dance that was so popular for awhile originally in Spanish "llorando se fue" - why can't I remember the name? Aha, the lambada!!

Perfect symmetry (but a little odd).
Ir-se (foi-se, se fue em esp) means to go away, in this case \"leave me\" one way or another. Of 5 answers 2 reflect this fact, 2 do not, and one cuts two ways.
There are two agrees. One supports the \"go away\" meaning, the other does not.
Am I missing something???
