Don't grieve for me/don't feel sorry for me
If it is Swedish the spelling is not correct. But it does sound Swedish.

If it is slang I would understand it as "Don't trouble yourself over me" or something like that.

Thanks. You have more exp. in the world of Kudoz than me so maybe repeating parts of other suggestions is alright. Maybe the "rules" differ in the different fora. :)

Can't anyone look after me
I think this is Swedish. My Swedish is not as strong as my Danish, but I think it does mean the above.

P.S. If it really is slang, I suppose a better translation would be "Can anyone look out for me".

As the asker specifies slang, I think you need something lightweight like this, particularly because it echoes the well-known song. Words like 'grieve' and 'mourn' are of course perfectly correct translations, but they are not really slang words -- too high a register in this context, in my view.
