Explanation:
I would not have answered you if the meaning was not exactly the same as your phrase. Please also bear in mind that not all languages have the same word order English has.

Now, if you expected some "latenglish" phrase that could be understandable but NOT correct Latin, I won't do it. I gave you correct Latin, if that's what you asked for.

Good luck!
