Re: Mas Te Vale Que No Te Metas
This is very colloquial speech.
You are better off not interfering in this.
or
Don't interfere [like it's not of your business, your opinion is not wanted]
Re: Mas Te Vale Que No Te Metas
Better don't mess with me! Or
You better don't mess with me!

I don't agree with that. If it said Más vale que no te metas conmigo, then yes, because it is directed at you. But the way it is, it's like do not get into something that doesn't concern you.

Re: Mas Te Vale Que No Te Metas
What do you guys think about: "Go mind your own business"? I have heard/seen this expression a lot.
Re: Mas Te Vale Que No Te Metas
Yes, definitely...that sounds perfect because it is actually very colloquial and in tune with the original.
It conveys both meaning and tone.

Re: Mas Te Vale Que No Te Metas
I like stay away too, but I think it sounds "softer". Maybe we can use either one, depending on our mood or on the person we are talking to. Porque de repente te encuentras con cada gente... :-)
Re: Mas Te Vale Que No Te Metas
Buenas...
A few more colloquial options:
'You'd better keep your nose out of it'
or
'You'd better stay out of it'
depending on context.
