Dizendo para deixar algo para lá. Fica bom também no ritmo, como em: "when skies are rose, school, let it go.

Isso porque não sei se "go away" que rimaria com a pronúncia de rosé ("when skies are rosé, school go away") ficaria rude. https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=go away.

neutral  Fausto Machado Tiemann: Concordo com a explicação. Creio que é o equivalente ao nosso: "que concerto, o quê?". Mas talvez esteja mais para "forget it"..

what ...[?] no way


Explanation:
Based on this rap song https://youtu.be/w9oOaWZd3to and the definition from Dicionário Informal:

qual quê: Em Portugal a expressão designa uma negação.

Note: The suspension points are to be replaced with the nouns (e.g. "concert"). The question mark in brackets is just to show there's an ellipsis.

When the sky gets rosé, what concert[?], no way.

neutral  Fausto Machado Tiemann: Acho que cabe o "no way", mas sem "what" antes. "Concert? No way!"

  -> O texto-fonte diz "qual"; portanto uma tradução com "what" seria mais fiel ao original. Veja: https://www.pinterest.com/julieannedy/what-the-heck-no-way/
