I can't think of anything that might sound accurate. Dance with me??

Hi! :)


Did you hear it or read it.

Never heard the verb "sambar" ever before. Might be a regional colloquialism.
Impossible for me to say anything about its possible meaning without any context.

Hi Premium, there is always SOME context.
Who said it / wrote it?
When?
How?

If I remember there is always the 5 Ws...

Yeah, here it is


Who is it about?
What happened?
When did it take place?
Where did it take place?
Why did it happen?

Some authors add a sixth question, “how”, to the list, though "how" can also be covered by "what", "where", or "when":


How did it happen

There should always be a non confidential reference to matter, energy, space, time or life... I'd say...

"Trackeamos?"* (Spanglish being used here...) :p

I just came back from Acapulco, Mexico and there was a Spanish(definitely Spain) couple. The male one used it once or twice when the music was playing in a club.
There were some words I didn't understand, for instance; méndigo & qué onda, but I could make it up from the context. I don't know but I just can't get the word out of my mind.

The only think that comes up to mind would be "zámpame" :)

You say from Spain, because the way they looked and/or talked? But really cannot be sure?

I talked to them on some occasions. They were from Andalusia.

Ah! Then it must what Angélica said, a regional colloquialism. :)

And at that, I would said it "sambéame" whcih would mean "dance the samba for me" it reminds me of a Gipsy Kings song "báilame

:)

I agree with Chileno...

The other option (in another context, is to "give me a ride in your Samba", which is a type of car, "Seat Samba" "Fiat Samba" or even "Talbot Samba"...) while this is a bit stretched, nonetheless is a possibility.

The most plausible interpretation is the "dancing" one, "baila samba para mí" or "anímame a bailar samba" or something of that order...
