نص أصلي - برتغاليّ - Só deixas de viver quando juntas as botas, mundo...

Hello
May I get a bridge for this one?
Thanx

Here's the bridge:

"You only stop living when you get your boots together. World is game, life is rules, to die is to cheat."

I don't know if the first phrase is some kind of expression or something, cuz' I don't understand its meaning.
