What was your original sentence in English? "Sacre bleu" is the equivalent of "my god!" (more from old French) and "je ne t'aime pas" (not "je n'aime pas tu" - bad grammar in French) means "I don't love you." The "a" has no business being there. Stay away from online translators, they're absolute garbage...they are not "intelligent" enough to understand idiomatic expressions or metaphoric speech....they work on a word for word basis which is the wrong way to translate things...I can recommend an online forum that connects you to native French speakers who could do a better job for you...check out http://forum.wordreference.com. You have to create an account but nothing to worry about...it's really easy....

The first part is an oath which is a corruption of "Blessed God" and has not been used in French parlance for some centuries. It is similar to the old English oath "zounds" and dates from roughly the same period.
"je n'aime pas tu" is bad French by someone who hasn't a clue about the language and is trying to say: "I don't like you."
It's always particularly pathetic when someone uses swear words in a language he doesn't know.

The above explanations accurately reflect the literal meaning of the expression.... it's not something anyone would ever dream of saying in conversation, so it must be from a song or poem or something (although "tu" doesn't really rhyme with "bleu" to French ears).

"pluie" means rain. But I think the sentence should be: Je n'aime pas LA pluie

This is not proper French, therefore it's impossible to translate properly without some changes:
Sacre bleu, je ne t'aime pas.
I can't see who would use the phrase "sacre bleu" today but anyway it would be:
"Dam* it, I don't love you."

I would guess that the French is itself a machine-translation from some other language. in any case, it's rubbish. It's approximately equivalent to "Zounds, I to you don't like/love"
Alternatively, it might be "Sacre bleu, ah, je n'aime pas toi", which is still pretty unusual: "Zounds, ah, I don't like/love YOU"

I think it means something along the lines of "Oh my God! I do not like you!"
Sacre bleu is an expression of shock.... but I don't think many French people actually use it :-)

Just curious, but where did you hear that? Was it Pepe Le Peu in a Warner Brothers cartoon? I'm asking cos I noticed that he spews a lot of rubbish with a French accent, I realize it's a cartoon, and it's funny cos I know what he's saying doesn't mean anything. Like I said, just curious. Cheers, mates!

Very bad French..'Sacre bleu..je ne t'aime pas' is better but not perfect, it roughly translates as "Bloody hell..I don't love you."
By the way, aimer can mean 'to love' or 'to like', although how many think 'Je t'aime' means 'I like you'?

As everyone has said, it is bad cartoon-style French, and means " I really, really don't like you." "Sacre bleu" is very old-fashioned and was originally used as a less blasphemous way of saying "sacre coeur", in the same way that the colloquialism "Cor blimey" in English came from "God blind me".
