How would you translate this from Japanese to English?

How would you translate 生きていたいと願う from Japanese to English?





I am studying Japanese, but I encountered this and I'm having trouble figuring out it's exact meaning. Please help and please don't suggest online translators, they are NOT helping.





Thank you! ~|||So as a whole it means: to wish to stay alive.



It is not really a sentence, but depending on the context it can be a sentence with some omitted words.



~と here is for quote. In this case "~" refers to what you wish.|||生きていたい means I/We don't want to die yet.


〜と願う means I/We wish or I/We hope.
