    The 3 first parts are totally correct...but the last one is a bit confusing

      *Feels like da head is not working correctly*

      If I came to the world, it was
      only to deflower virgin forests,
      and to draw my own feet in the unexplored sand!
      but whatever I do, it is of no value."

      Is this totally too?

      STILL struddling

      PURPLE HELL is back and burning!! See you there!

        For the last part, how about:

        For what I did was meaningless.
        I'd rather be an optimist who's a little bit crazy than a pessimist who's right.

        I have found eternal life. Embrace it.

          @Lilli....errr....

          @Fred, very close, but not correctly translated, though, the word you used is very good

              @Fred, it's still not very correct...

                I'm running out of ideas,

                For all I did was worthless

                  Use an online translator and translate the last part...
                  Cause you're saying something at the begining that doesn't 'make sense' according to the sentence in portuguese...

                    Of course I'm using a translator, but it's giving me this:

                    More than I make not valley nothing

                    or
                    I'd rather be an optimist who's a little bit crazy than a pessimist who's right.

                      Conciliate what the translator gives you and what you think of the sentence...

                        I guess my english isn't good enough so I'm gonna quit for now. I don't really get poems anyway, they are very tricky, I find.

                          No, don't quit You were in the right path!
                          On the last sentence, you just had to conciliate the first words that the translator gave you, and what the last words that you were saying before

                                More than often what I am doing is meaningless
