It does
Quite correct a translation.
If you need to know the exact meaning - it's something like "It's a business your mind is not capable of dealing with" It's a business not of the mind of yours. (I'm just having fun - just say It's none of your business and let it go at that).

You can also say: Не ваше собачье дело (the meaning is the same - it's none of your dog's business)

не вашего это ума дело

It depends on the logical stress in the sentence and a style of speech
