Mai, si sem tůt morți e nessun non al sé, pôtrém facare che siam vivi?
But if we're all dead and no one knows it, could we think we're alive?

Now, just looking at it, I remember what it is. My goodness, Ejnoq was embarassingly bad D:

M'à tret chelca scóndis por analizâ a regzóni quell frási.
[ma tɾɛ ˈkɛl.ka ˈskõː.dɪ pə.ɾ‿a.na.lɪˈtsɛː a rəˈdʑoː.nɪ ˈkʊ̯ɛːl ˈfɾɛ.zɪ]
It took me a few seconds to correctly parse that sentence.

A prim vesud, quella senggla volê dî ca sì es denz li purgatuói, es Gesu.
[a ˈpɾẽː vəˈzoː ˈkʊ̯ɛːl.la ˈsãː.gla vɔˈleː ˈdeː ka se ɛ ˈdã.s‿lɪ pʊ(ɾ)gaˈtʊ̯ɑːɪ̯ ɛ ˈdʑɛ.zʊ]
At first glance, it seems to mean, "If you are in purgatory, you are Jesus".

Purgatory

Eno meço de li cammino de nóstra vita
me retrobái en una selva oscura,
cá la dirétta via erat perdida.
Midway upon the journey of our life
I found myself within a forest dark,
For the straight-forward pathway had been lost.

Edit: Corrected a small error: lo is for the accusative singular, li for the genitive/dative singular (but also for the plural nominative, like in Romanian).

Non la buona part, más d'acord.
