Arief Wibowo Yeah, thats the problem, I am stuck at my knowledge limit.
Okay, just an Indonesian/Malaysian one, back few hundred years:
Cahari olehmu akan sahabat,
yang boleh dijadikan obat.

Marius Vincenzii Dennischter That's too easy for me Arief...
I'll give it a miss and let the others work on it

Arief Wibowo I remembered exactly that, and let's bring back our friends: Hesham Swehli, Fahd Mir Jan, Chiara Maggi
Billy James Brightraven Sorry, guys, I was out with the dog 
but nice working. Yes, it's from a fiction. This one to be more exact.

Marius Vincenzii Dennischter I'll repeat the question:
Cahari olehmu akan sahabat,
yang boleh dijadikan obat.
Cahari olehmu akan sahabat,
yang boleh dijadikan obat.
Marius Vincenzii Dennischter Yeah, you are getting there Fahd Mir Jan
I'm not quite sure, but that sentence might be from old Malay language, so the grammar is a bit funny.
In modern Indonesian, "akan" can be translated into "will", but not the case in this phrase.

Christian James Meredith Damn. I've seen Cahari before but forgotten it. Could it be something like "being with you as a friend becomes like a drug"? Problem is that I'm completely ignoring yang there.
Marius Vincenzii Dennischter Christian James Meredith Being like a drug is pretty acceptable although it doesn't really hit the spot, but the first phrase is still incorrect
Christian James Meredith Searching for friends with you is what may be made medicine. < thats still rather literal tho.
Christian James Meredith Unless its "searching for a friendly gift for you is what becomes medicine"? (EDIT: got rid of the reduplication now that I'm not on the phone)
Christian James Meredith Unless something else there has a double meaning as well in which case Indonesian has thoroughly beaten me.
Marius Vincenzii Dennischter searching for a gift for a friendly gift for you is what becomes medicine... that's very very close, you just need to change the tense into a more imperative structure 
Christian James Meredith Ah ok. Well "Search for friends, that is what can be made into medicine" then.
Marius Vincenzii Dennischter I'll let you go with it then,
the translation should be:
Search (Look upon )you for a friend that can be a medicine
the translation should be:
Search (Look upon )you for a friend that can be a medicine
Marius Vincenzii Dennischter Cari/ cahari = search/look
olehmu = by you/ upon you
akan = of
sahabat = friend
yang = which
boleh= can/possible
dijadikan = to be made
obat = medicine
I also found the words very exotic as well :p
and I am kinda a native speaker
olehmu = by you/ upon you
akan = of
sahabat = friend
yang = which
boleh= can/possible
dijadikan = to be made
obat = medicine

Christian James Meredith Haha, well I guess it is oldish language so I guess it's not surprising it's written poetically. Well I guess it's your turn since you technically solved it (and since I haven't got anything to suggest myself)
(and since I haven't got anything to suggest myself)Marius Vincenzii Dennischter hmmm.... alright then...
I would like to post another Indonesian, but I guess it will be better if I bring it back to Europe...
let me think
