Portuguese term or phrase: Vou me pirar!
numa cançao...
Essa cabrocha
Quem não acredita
Vem ver
Uma cabrocha sambar
Mexendo com as cadeiras
E seu feitiço no olhar
Toda risonha e faceira
No meio da batucada
Se desmanchando
E deixando a turma abafada
Essa cabrocha
Quando entra para o samba
Não acredita em bamba
Nem tampouco no azar
Essa cabrocha
É alegria do morro
Quem vai lá fica espantado
E quer a cabrocha roubar
Vou me pirar!Lá na cidade
Já mandaram uma proposta
Convidando a cabrocha
Pra num rádio ir cantar
Abandonar o morro
Ela tem pena
Pois lá não existe antena
A luz que tem lá é o luar(em meu olhar)

me voy a volver loco, tal vez?...
italianissimo
¡me voy a ir discretamente!/¡yo me rajo!

¡me las piro!


Explanation:
Igual que Alejandra, creo que, por el contexto, la acepción aquí es "largarse", o "pirárselas", más que "volverse loco"...
