It's more or less 'I couldn't care less what he's saying'.
We also have: Me oye como el que oye llover: He doesn't pay any attention to what I'm saying.

"misa" in english is "mass" - Roman Catholic church service. extended meaning above would require loose,
non-literal translation to english, like it's a case of "in one ear and out the other".

hermit

Quieres decir: Como si dijera misa, ¿no?

Porque si quieres saber como se dice misa en inglés te dirijo a un diccionario bilingüe.
