    Literally, it means "No way I am going to share my sadness/blues with you, I'll leave it all for myself". However, "no way" sounds much more colloquial than the Russian phrase and doesn't match the style of this sentence. Perhaps it would be better to say "I will never share my blues with you..." etc.

    I will not share my sadness and melancholy with you, I will keep it all for myself.
    It is very odd, though.

    It doesn't sound so odd if you realize that this is a line from a song .

    Word order is often different in poetry than in normal speach.

    Дело не в порядке слов, а в смысле высказывания. Но если это из песни, тогда, конечно, смысла не нужно.

    А со смыслом-то что не так? Тут как раз всё в порядке. "Я не собираюсь грузить тебя своими проблемами." Смысл совершенно очевиден.
