It should go like this: If you hadnÂ´t existed, I would have died. My life would have been bad. I didnÂ´t have any other friends but then you came you helped me up again and you stay here by my side Thanks to you I got friends real friends who stay [with me] friends like you. Note that the last sentence is not a direct translations, it DOES really say "some like you", as Bhatarsaigh wrote, I just thought it sounded better this way.

" If you hadn`t been born I would have died it would have been shit I didnÂ´t have a friend but then you came along you helped me up again and you stayed by my side thanks to you I got friends, like you, who stays " but IÂ´m not shore =)

	han Number of messages: 3	"om du inte hade funits" is not equal to if I hadn't found you but rather If you had not been there I would have died. my life had been (and not was) shit. i did not have a single friend. /.../ Thanks to you I got (and not I've got) friends. Not some like you but rather friends like you OR those like you

	Mats Fondelius Number of messages: 153	The translation is not good at all unfortunately... This is how it should be: "If you didn't exist I would have died... My life would have been shit... I didn't have one single friend... But then you came... You helped me back up again... And you stayed... Here with me... Thanks to you I made friends... True friends that stay around... People like you..."

	d95marty Number of messages: 3	The last row of the English translation is incorrect. A more correct translation would be "friends like you", based on the poetic style of the text.
