Zafur:Actually, it is real American English. The context is: "He lived at peace with himself and the world because he was in tune: he practiced what he preached. He lived his beliefs. He could die with a good conscience." In German we say, somone is round with himself.Evildela:I think it means something along "he knows himself well" or has achieved inner peace.

alonsososo:Please can you help. How can I translate: someone is in tune (with himself)?Some suggestions:
Li havas enan harmonion/integrecon.
Li ne havas enan konflikton.

alonsososo:"May I live halfway as good a life and die as good a death."Half as good as what?

alonsososo:"May I live halfway as good a life and die as good a death."If that means "May my life be at least half good and my death be at least that good", I might put it Mi esperas al vivo almenaŭ duone bona, kaj morto almenaŭ tiel bona.
