saya mau ambil kamo telanjang nanti malam

Non-PRO Indonesian to English Art/Literary Slang
We are trying to figure out what language this is and what nationality it is. One of our co-workers speaks this language and has this not writen from her boyfriend. If you could let us know it will me lunch on her.
Thank you very much.

I suspect, based on the web-sites that were returned when I punched a number of the words into "Google," that the note was not meant for just any eyes...! A rough guide to some of the words, as found in the links listed below.

saya = I
mau = ? (mati = to die)
ambil = get
kamo = you
telanjang = naked, nude
nanti = wait, later
malam = night, tonight

My best guess: "I'm dying to get you naked later tonight." See if that raises an eyebrow or two.

Hope this was of some help!

Peer comment(s):
agree nyamuk : Its Indonesian, but the way that you have translated it with no knowledge of the language makes me suspect that the original author was not a native speaker himself. there are mixed pronouns and an odd usage of 'get'

I want to take your picture in nude tonight

I am sure it is Indonesian for I am an Indonesian native. That is exactly the English translation.
