@ Muriel Thanks for the explanation. It's actually the one I like best so far!
Muriel Vasconcellos Mar 7, 2017:
@ Tania I actually think "contented heart" is perfect for a dying man. I thought of it because that's the feeling I got when I was with a man when he died 2 years ago. He wasn't joyous, just completely contented with his life. He kept repeating the same idea.
Tania Pires (asker) Mar 7, 2017:
@ Ana Eu sei e agradeço. :)
Ana Vozone Mar 7, 2017:
OK, can't say that I didn't try ;) Vamos ver o que os colegas sugerem...

Tania Pires (asker) Mar 7, 2017:

Ana Vozone Mar 7, 2017:
Que tal qualquer coisa como I will have lived my life to the fullest

Thanks, Muriel, that's a good one, but in this case, he's dying, so I don't know if it would make much sense.

Note from asker:
Obrigada, Ana, mas estava a tentar fugir dessa expressão porque "when I go my heart will be full" não parece fazer muito sentido (estamos a falar de alguém que está a morrer).
