    English to Sanskrit translation
    Hi,

    Can anyone please help me translate a sentence into Sanskrit?
    It is for a tattoo, so it has to be correct - I have myself tried automatic translators on the internet, but I will be sure, so please only answer if you know the language Sanskrit :-)

    The sentence is:

    Dream as if you'll live forever, live as if you'll die today

    ... translated into the shortest form possible.

    I will really appreciate some help!

    Well, it is a James Dean quotation, and the sentence is in the imperative mood.

    "dream" here refers to ambitions and the things you want from life.
    "live forever" = as if your life will never end.
    "live as if you'll die today" = live your life and do the things you want to, as if life will end today / in this moment.

    Hi again, I wonder if you are still willing to help me with this?
    It has been quite a long time since your last answer, and I really need this translation.

    If you will help me, I will be very pleased!
    If not, then please tell me, so I can try to find help somewhere else.
