All you need to do is write down the numbers and your text next
to them.
1. "Hi!"
2. "Go away!"
etc.

1) Hola que haces allí?
2) No te importa un bledo, déjame tranquila.
3) Niñita son dos días que estás enfadada, tu amorcito no va a
volver. Se fue con la hija del conde. Vuélvete a tu casa.
4) Cállate. Hago lo que quiero.
5) La vida es sueño dicho Calderón de la Barca, y yo no sé si
estoy viva o muerta, despierta o dormida. Voy a esperar aquí.

1. Hello, do you want to play with me?
2. Leave me alone. Don’t you see that I am busy?
3. Did you find an answer to my question?
4. I’m still thinking about it. It’s a hard dilemma.
5. What came first the chicken or the egg? Why do philosophers
ask such difficult questions? My Mommy told me that I am born
from an egg that she had laid but who had laid the original egg?
Did God create the egg or the chicken first? Who’s God anyway? I
never met him. If he exists why did he create dinosaurs and then
let us disappear?

1. Scusami signore, come arrivo alla valle delle margherite?
2. Mi dispiace, non sono di qui.
3. Questo insetto è sempre disorientato. Fa così ogni giorno.
Abbiamo bisogno di un cartello che dice "non disturbare".
4. Che bella idea.
5. Un sogno... ovviamente. Ogni drago sa che animali chi parlano
non esistono.

2) No te importa un bledo, déjame tranquila.
[/quote]
"me importa un bledo" = I don't give a f*ck
"te importa un bledo" = you dont give a f*ck
Literally, "me importa un bledo" means "it's as important to me
as pigweed". I've never heard this idiom used with a negative, I
suppose it would then mean "I/you (do) give a f*ck". :)
If you wanted to say something like "none of your business" or
"f*ck off", there's a variety of expressions to choose from.
Some of the less offensive ones are here:

The most common (and rather offensive) one would be "Vete a la
mierda". :)

1. Verdammte Drachen! Ich hasse sie. Wenn ich einen sehe, werde
ich ihn vollkacken!
2. Das ist nich sehr nett.
3. Ein interessanter Fakt: Drachen sind nach den Statistiken
weniger intelligent als andere übernatürliche Wesen, egal
wieviele Köpfe sie haben.
4. Was ist hier los?
5. Aufgabenliste für morgen: 1. Tierschutzkanal abbestellen.

Nice one, Nikola! And very good German! :)
Please let me explain a couple of things:
1. Although "nicht" is often shortened colloquially to "nich'",
it does need an apostrophe if you want to use it - which is not
ideal in written German. ;)
2. I didn't mark it, because it's not a mistake, but "Fakt" is
not used that often in German, although it does exist. We
usually use "(die) Tatsache".
3. "nach" is a tricky one. I know it often comes up in
dictionaries as a translation of "according to". However, since
it's usually used in its temporal meaning ("after"), we tend to
avoid it in other contexts, unless it's followed by a name, e.g.
"nach Freud/Jung/Einstein". And even then, it's most often used
to mean "according to Freud's/Jung's/Einstein's methods", not
when we're quoting somebody. If you do want to use it, I
recommend combining it with the verb "urteilen", e.g. "den
Statistiken nach zu urteilen". (I don't think I'd have bothered
to point this out if the rest of your text had been less
perfect, grammatically. ;) )

Thank you, Alharacas. "Nich" was a typo :) Just to double-check,
"ihn vollkacken" means "poop all over him" right? Because Google
translate suggests "f*ck him up" when I run the text through it.
