Thank you so much! The context is from "Old man & the Sea" by Ernest Hemingway. It reads as such:

..."And the best fisherman is you"
"No. I know others better."
""Que va," the boy said. "There are many good fisherman and some great ones. But there is only you."

Nick, stop asking a machine for translations. Machines are stupid."Qué va" can mean "no," or "no way!," or "it's OK," or "don't worry about it." It is used in Cuba and other countries (maybe all). Give us the context and we can give you a better answer.
