Playing with it in Google Trans, it looks more like it should be

do you want me to (turn back, return, come back)

Try "vill ni att jag" in GT, it's "do you want me", not "I want you".

Thanks (or should I say Tack?)

GT is good for somethings buh-ut ...

Here's what it did to a delightful little song by Astrid Lindgren:

Bom Sicka Bom

Tycker du som jag, så rider vi,
för då känn' för då känn' för då känner jag mej jag mej fri.
Lille häst lille häst vilka skutt du tar,
sitter svans sitt' svans sitt' svansen ändå ändå kvar.
Så far och flyg och ryk och ränn
och bom sicka bom ä du me' på den så spring och skrik
och kom igen och bom sicka bom ut i mässingen,
och tut och tjut och tjosan sen
och bom sicka bom va' de' small i den.
Så far och flyg och ryk och ränn
och bom sicka bom ä du me'på den
och bom sicka bom ä du me'på den
och bom sicka bom ä du me'på den. (Ja!)

here's what it sounds like

And here's what GT made of it:

Do you like me, so we ride,
for then feel 'for which features' because then I know myself I myself free.
Little horse little horse which leaps you take,
sit his tail 'its tail' tail yet still remain.
So father and flight and Ryk and gutters
bom bom sick and you're being me 'on it, run and scream
and came back and boom boom out sick in brass,
and toot and howl and tjosan ago
and sick boom boom va 'de' in the template.
So father and flight and Ryk and gutters
and boom boom you're being sick me'på the
and boom boom you're being sick me'på the
and boom boom you're being sick me'på it. (Yes!)

Yes!  I'm being boom boom sick.

Granted it's 'poetry' but ... still
