"Sabor a Mi" is the title of a song in Spanish.

http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/l/los_panchos/sabor_a_mi.html

Usually, sabor is a noun. But in this context, it seems to be used more like a verb. Can it be (roughly) translated as "savor me"?

Another translation I used, that people liked because it was "hard-hitting" (and sexy), was "come on to me."

"Sabor" is definitely not used as a verb on that song title. – Juan A. Navarro Nov 16 '11 at 15:26
@Juan: As well as telling us what it isn't can you also tell us what it is? – hippietrail Nov 16 '11 at 15:43
Yes. It is a noun. – Juan A. Navarro Nov 16 '11 at 15:50

I would say that the translation could be "a taste of me". I don't see that "sabor" is used as a verb there, it is used as a noun.

+1, though I'd traslate the title (alone) as "Taste of me". It's indeed used as a noun, as in the phrase "that left me a bad taste in the mouth". – leonbloy Nov 16 '11 at 15:28

A taste of me probably would leave a bad taste in the mouth. – Richard Nov 16 '11 at 15:30
