I watched Cabras da Peste; What is the English translation of this text? Google Translate is not showing that peste is a word in Portuguese, although I did find it elsewhere that it means plague. On English Netflix, the name translates to "Get the Goat" What exactly does 'Cabras da Peste" translate to in English? Obrigada!

I am Brazilian. Cabra da Peste means: is someone bad character or someone who is hated or someone deplorable, disgusting etc etc. That's an expression that is from Nortwest of Brazil.

Sorry, I forgot: cabra = goat - da=of - peste=plague. Therefore: cabra da peste, literally, it would be in English : goat of plague.

Yes it means to get the goat. This is a phrase meaning to upset irritate someone. “His constant snoring really gets my goat”
