The translation is basically correct, except for the perpetuation of a very common error in Spanish (not a jive to you Hilmar, as almost everybody I know says it that way, though incorrectly). It is one of my pet peeves that I try to avoid.

The correct phrase is "por nada", not "de nada". The proposition is the key. :)
