Deixe-me em paz


Explanation:
Ao "pé da letra", deixe-me sozinho(a), mas no Brasil se diz "deixe-me em paz", ou numa linguagem bem coloquial, "me deixa em paz". Ou ainda, "me esquece".
A frase toda seria "Já pedi para me deixar em paz, por favor", "Já pedi, por favor, para me esquecer".

me deixe em paz


Explanation:
Embora "deixe-me em paz" seria a tradução mais correta da expressão "leave me alone", creio que no contexto acima deveria ser: "eu já te pedi, por favor, me deixe em paz"
