Hi my friend, O my God, translating Polish into English is such a pain. You have two ways of doing in.

A direct word for word translation… However this way often makes no real sense once translated!!

OR

A translation with a little bit of ‘artistic licence’ this is how poetry if often translated into different languages so in keeps it’s rhythm and rhyme.

Here is my attempt at it…….

W życiu musisz doświadczyć wszystkiego, ponieważ każdy umiera, ale nie każdy żyje.

TRANSLATED

In life you have to experience everything, because everyone die, but not everyone live.

Hope this helps, see what other people contribute, they may have a different take on the translation.

Musisz czerpać z życia więcej niż ono oferuje, bo choć umrze każdy, to nie każdy żyje! (more poetic )
