It comes from the French expression De quoi je me mêle? which says I should mind my own business.
Haitian Creole's mele (from French mêler) means to mix, to mingle, to meddle, to get involved
So if I wanted to translate that literally, I would say:
Ki te mele'm?
Ki | te | mele | 'm | ?
What | past tense | involve | me | question mark
What should I involve myself ?( literally)
or more exactly
Why should I meddle?
