Hi Aneta,

I didn't understand that "such a".
Could you put the line in different words?

Oh, looking at the version in Br. Port I think the best wording could be:

"What a futile life to forever praise and salute you!"

Do you agree?

Hi Lilly,
Yes, I thought about starting from "What" as well.

I'm just not sure if "forever" can be replaced this way. It doesn't refer to praise, but to a life, in my opinion.
BTW, in original, both "praise" and "salute" are nouns, not infinitives. Anyway, I believe they can be replaced by infinitives if it sounds better in English.

What about:

"What a futile life to endlessly praise and salute you!" ?

I was waiting for your reply to finally evaluate this translation.

Thank you Lilly! Nice to see you too!

You know, I can't see much difference between both your suggestions. I think you should discuss this with experts in Esperanto to be sure.
