The translators are slightly confused with this sentence. I would say: Antes de que me muera, quiero vivir.

For your next sentence you should try the translators first. Sometimes they get it right.

Its very dificould to find out how to spell it right, but thank you very much for your answer! Are any of you 100% sure? Becouse as i Said, its for a tattoo so i have to be 100% sure!

The spellings on the different variatons are correct. You want to say: "Before I die, I want to live.." Two ways to say it: Antes de que me muera, quiero vivir and a shorter way: Antes de morirme, quiero vivir.

Antes de morirme, quisiera vivir is also correct, but it means: Before I die, I would like to live.

Note that technically, gramatically: "Antes de morirme" ("before dying) and "Antes de que me muera ("before I die).

The context of the tattoo is a proclamation and quisiera just sounds more romantic than quiero. My reason for the usage Antes de morirme was to shorten the tattoo while still communicating the idea accurately. Using Antes de que me muera make it very long - PapoPaz, Nov 18, 2013
