I don't think a literal translation will work but I'd try Partick Library first.

'Co ag iarraidh beo gu brath' is the best we can do here - Who wants to live always.

sorry bout delays, but mum is 84 and non internet ...

Co bhiogh ag iarraidh mar beo gu brath
which is "who would be wanting to remain alive forever", which apparently according to the Gaelic class and teacher combined is more how it would actually be said
