Let's play I Want Your Text!

Welcome to the Radio 1 game, I Want Your Text, except this time you should post the answer, not use SMS!!

For those of you not familair with this game, I will take a song title, translate it into another language, then translate back into English. I will then give you the result as a clue, you then need to tell me what the original song title was. For example, the clue for "Lady Marmalade" would be "Woman Jam".

As this is a test of your skill and knowlegde, no Babelfishing allowed!

Okay. What song title when translated into Portuguese and then back into English is "with small aid of my acquaintances"

Nice and easy to start off.

Mine was 'Bullet With Butterfly Wings'. That's about as popular as I could do, I was looking through my mp3s for inspiration :)
