What does vamos, que… mean?
I mean — in other words
It announces a summary of what you just said, usually because you have noticed it did not land. Nothing to do with going anywhere. It is a cousin of o sea, but more decisive: vamos que heads straight for the conclusion.
Llegó tarde, sin avisar y sin disculparse. Vamos, que pasa de nosotros.well — I mean (softening it)
After pero it softens what has just been said, or takes the drama out of it: pero vamos, tampoco es para tanto. It hedges rather than concludes.
Es un poco caro, pero vamos, merece la pena.come on, let's go
The literal sense, let's go: a push to get moving, often with venga in front and a reason after it — venga, vamos, que cierran.
Vamos, que perdemos el tren.
