It's a very frequent saying here in Spain yet so hard to translate. Anyone can give me a hand? Thanks

This just became my new favorite phrase! Is the correct pronunciation "no may ah-go-bee-ays"?

Yep! It is such a good phrase to use - with toddlers and puppies, especially. - 0057ed01, Nov 23, 2009

Sorry Heidita but even though you gave me 4 possible answers they all seem to me a bit artificial and I'm not sure if this is really what Spanish people mean when they say 'no me agobies'....
