Spanish Word - Leave Me Alone?

Hi Everyone,

I just start my Spanish course online, and I would like to ask how to say "Can You Leave Me Alone" in Spanish?

Thanks!

First you want to say "I love you" and "Will you marry me?" and now "Can you leave me alone?"
You are making it the right way!

Btw, where I've to sign to enter that course

"Déjame en paz" if you're angry, but it can mean "Déjame solo", too. For instance: tengo que estudiar, déjame solo que si no no me concentro (I have to study, leave me alone because if you don't I'm not able to concentrate on it). Well, more or less...

Yes, "Déjame en paz" is the most common.
There was a song that read something like,
"Déjame en paz, que no me quiero salvar, que yo estoy muy bien aquí en mi infierno"
["Let me alone, I don't want to save myself, I am very well here in my (own) hell"]
Not that I recommend that to anyone, but just a real example of "usage".

I find that "leave me alone" is quite a strong expression, and if I just wanted not to be disturbed, I would carefully modify the request with a "Please" to avoid the launching of domestic missiles.

That is actually the most common one around here.

Ah, that reminds me Les Luthiers, a father to his son: "Dejame vivir..."

Or also the phrase means Dejame solo.

Am I right?
