Andar and ir. They are both the imperatives of those verbs. "Go on!", "Let's go!", "Hurry up!". Extremely common.

Oh, and le and nos are the pronouns meaning you and us. These pronouns are often attached to the ends of imperatives.

Thanks! Also, why is "le" attached to "ándale" instead of "te" if you're talking to someone familiar? - Sofia2010, JUN 9, 2010

"Ándale" it's like saying: "Come on!!!"

and "Vámonos" means "let's go"
