This song practices the present subjunctive.  The English translation can be found below the Spanish lyrics.

Coro:
No, no, no
No me molesten. ¡No!
No me molesten. ¡No!
¡No me molesten!

Mamá manda que yo haga algo
Lo voy a pensar
Papá prefiere que yo empiece
A trabajar

Y mis hermanos quieren que
Yo juegue con ellos también
Sólo quiero quedarme aquí
No me molesten

La maestra duda que me dedique
A estudiar
Y le digo que yo deseo
Descansar

Y mis amigos creen que
Yo debo hacer lo que hacen
Sólo quiero quedarme aquí
No me molesten

Translation:

Chorus:
No, no, no
Don't bother me. No!

Mom orders me to do something
I'm going to think about it
Dad prefers that I begin
To work

And my brothers and sisters want
Me to play with them also
I only want to stay here
Don't bother me

The teacher doubts that I’m concentrating on (Dedicating myself to)
Studying
And I tell her that I wish
To rest

And my friends believe that
I must do what they do
I only want to stay here
Don't bother me
