Anyone want to have a go at translating this image for a friend of mine? Google's failing miserably and the spelling is likely to be off.

Let us save our effort and just lie down and die. 
We have been wagging all hearts to lift the white erratic not hard. AKA we make people light-hearted.

Not that I speak Dutch or anything, but of course I want to have a go.

Maybe something like "Though you have passed on, as long as you live in our hearts, you will never die"?

That's some broken Dutch right there, but it could be so on purpose to sound poetic, which fails imho

I tried translating it, but the grammar makes no sense whatsoever. Maybe to someone from Holland some of those structures would make more sense

A word by word translation would be:

To have left to
live in hearts that we after
are not to die

Mmmm, pizza. 
I'm sorry to say it, but that already looks like it's been through google several times.

I see the text also appears on this page about Czechs in Omaha. It is a translation of the corresponding English wikipage, which states the quote as "To live in hearts we leave behind is not to die."

This is still a (probably badly done) translation of a Czech quote, though.

That's sorta messed up, but I can give it a go. It could be all wrong but...

"You have gone away. You'll live in our hearts and will never die".

Love! True love! 
Without any help, I think it's:

On a waggon,
in our hearts we level up before death.
Possibly by starvation.

well it is terrible dutch and so i agree it seems to be gone trough a translator several times.

the translation would be

"to have gone to live in hearts that we find out are not to die"(litteral translation that is)

Another translation request:

"Om te leven in harten die we hebben achtergelaten. Het is niet om te sterven."

Ok go.
