Litteraly it means : "save whoever can". It means "let's get out of here / escape / save yourself"

Other synonymes : fuir, prendre ses jambes à son cou, prendre la poudre d'escampette

Every man for himself!
The kind of thing a captain shouts when a boat capsizes. From "sauver" - to save.

It is , perhaps, the origin of the well known sentence: "Â¡ SÃ¡lvese quien pueda !"
