Not necessarily in a literal movement sense. In sentences like this, בואי often works like come on or let’s when inviting someone to do something together.
So אבל בואי נשב... is very natural Hebrew for something like but come on, let’s sit...
It can still feel connected to the basic verb לבוא = to come, but here it is mainly an inviting expression, not a command to physically come somewhere.
בואי is the imperative form used when speaking to one woman.
- בוא = to one man
- בואי = to one woman
- בואו = to more than one person
So this sentence is addressed to a female addressee.
