Beer drinking is big in Brazil, as is bar culture in big cities. In Rio de Janeiro, for example, botecos<\/em> are a fun place to have a chopp<\/em> (beer on tap) and some delicious aperitivos<\/em> (bar food, or appetizers) with friends.<\/p>\n

Here’s a fun song, in the forr\u00f3 <\/em>style, about going drinking with friends in Portuguese. The translation is Drink, Fall, and Get Up. Listen to this very catchy tune and see the lyrics below. (They tend to just repeat over and over, like any good bar song). A note about the word “simbora”: it’s a very slangy word for “embora” so the correct term is vamos embora<\/em> (let’s go\/let’s leave), but here he says “vamos simbora.” Also in slang, you’ll sometimes hear people say “simbora!” to mean “Let’s do it!” or “Let’s go!”<\/p>\n
