Not English. Incomprehensible.

This is perfectly acceptable English. It is similar in form to "Let the games begin!" One might imagine this being said on Halloween, for example.

In Greek I think this means something more like “Don’t play games with me”, “Stop messing around”, “Don’t get cute with me”, etc. I.e., the emphasis is on the negative. The similar phrase ‘άσε τα ψέματα’ tends to get translated as “stop lying”.
