Having listened to the song again, I'd go with an English interpretation of
"Even if it takes(/seems to take?) the whole future, we will survive the
(entire) past" which I translate as "segu temci fa le bavli gi mi'o ba renvi
lo purci" giving us a complete translation of:

"segu temci fa le bavli gi mi'o ba renvi lo purci
.i ga la fonxa cu janbe gi du mi"

The entire original song's lyrics can be found at

And now I will take Jorge's advice and get out my asbestos suit for the
emerald tablet...
