Yeah it seems like it began meaning chest, became a polite way of saying boobs, and eventually the latter edged out the former. Mind you this is in English and the line in question is Portuguese so maybe arguing English semantics isn't helping us get close to the truth.

If anyone here speaks Portuguese I'd love to hear if that word has any of these implications in Portuguese.
