Saying "Remember you're still alive"


I'd like to know how you say _Remember that you're still alive_...

I found this あなたはまだ生きていることを忘れないでください with the meaning of _Don't forget that
you're still alive_. It's not strictly necessary the literal translation, but
I need the sense not to change.

I need it for a tattoo and I'd like it to be a single phrase but divided in 2
columns, possibly the first longer than the second... I don't know if I
explained my self, I mean that I don't want a simple _Remember_ / _You're
still alive_ , but _Remember that you're still alive_.

I undestand my request is a little too precise (and maybe impossibile), but,
you know, trying doesn't have any costs.

Thank you very much in advise

I'll make the situation and conditions clear before answering about "still".

> (1) Remember that you're still alive...  
>  I found this あなたはまだ生きていることを忘れないでください with the meaning of Don't forget that
> you're still alive.  
>  (2) Don't forget that you're still alive.

It is clear that "you" in (1) presented by the questioner is in a life or
death situation.

The heart of "you" is beating. "You" are breathing faintly. Maybe there is no
consciousness.

It's possible that "you" may die without recovering consciousness. "You" is
more serious when the word with "still" is needed.

The person who says (1) to "you" probably knows "you" and doesn't want "you"
to die, and when he/she are calling out with (1), he/she wants "you" to
recover consciousness.

The nuances of English in (1) and (2) may be different, but for me who is a
Japanese, there is no big difference between them with having the same meaning
as (3).  
Please speak (1) or (2) quickly. I will speak (3) in the same way as you.
Perhaps (3) took time more than twice (1) or (2).  
We wouldn't use a long phrase like (3) in such an emergency. In a situation
where it is necessary to say "still", you have to speak to "you" in a short
time.  
In such a case, you know the person to whom you are saying the phrase and you
can understand the condition of "you", so you need not to say "you" or "still"
in (1). In addition, there is a reason that it takes more time to say the
phrase without omitting them.  
I showed some Japanese translations in my original answer, but in fact the
Japanese will actually say such expressions briefly as follows in the
situation.

  * 目｛め｝を覚｛さ｝まして！
  * 目｛め｝を覚｛さ｝ませ！
  * （私｛わたし｝/俺｛おれ｝が）分｛わ｝かるか?
  * （おい、）何｛なん｝とか言｛い｝え!
  * 死｛し｝んだらだめ（よ/だ）！
  * 死｛し｝ぬな（よ）！
