Depending on the context, it has a whole host of possible meanings. The universal understanding one could infer, though, is that one has done something wrong, or that something is wrong. Dame means, roughly, "(It's/That's/This is) no good."

For example, trying to put the wrong kind of trash into the recycling bins could elicit a cross armed, "X" gesture and a "dame (Don't do that! / That's wrong!) from a passerby.

Or, perhaps one has just attempted to fix the bell on a bicycle, but upon giving it a ring, it doesn't work. You could say "Dame da" (It's no good) to imply that your solution / tinkering failed.
