Spanish Translation
No juegues conmigo.
No toques conmigo*
Suonare?! You don’t play (an instrument?) with me. Surely “non giochi con me” would be better?

Yes. in spanish this was translated as jugar (to play) but jugar in spanish doesn’t also mean to play an instrument. so the correct translation is “no toques conmigo”.
and that would be “No juegues conmigo.”

As in Spanish, in Italian too different verbs are used for play:
to play a musical instrument → “suonare uno strumento”
to play a game → “giocare a un gioco” or “fare un gioco”
to play a video → “riprodurre un video”
So maybe, translating from English, Italian and Spanish translators chose a different meaning of “play”.
