orale
Mexican/chicano word that not only means "hell yeah" or "roght on", but has lots and lots of meanings.
Also used to: indicate surprise ("Orale, homes, that ***** has a huge ***!").
To quote a famous mexican comedian: "It is a term of excitement like yeehaw is to the country folk." It does not have a definite meaning but it makes you feel good to say it.
Jonnies:Hay vato! Que viva la rasa!
Iggy: Orale!!! Que viva!!!

In my part of the coutry, south Texas, it means watch it or let's do it - it depends in what context it is being used

"Orale" is a slang, and it means: oh yeah or ok
i agree with cameron and JJ, because they're right.

I think it's "pray to him." To pray is "orar." "Ora" is either he/she/it prays, or, more likely with the "le," is an informal command (given to a familiar friend) and the "le" refers to whom the person is commanded to pray.
It would help if you included the context, though.
