Answer 1

直译是很难的，这里我尝试意译。
来处，表示你的源头，理解为家，港湾，等等。In English I will put it as home.
归途，表示一步步走向生命的尽头。In English I will put it as tomb.

Hence, the whole sentence, added on some poetic embellishment, would be:
When parents are alive, you can still long for home; when parents have been away, you can only prepare for your tomb.

'Home' roughly rhymes with 'tomb' as well.

Answer 2

When parents alive, you know where you came from(or was born); but if parents passed away, the only way you have left in your life towards the death.

父母：

父母 fùmǔ (1) parents (2) 父亲和母亲的总称 父母者，人之本也。——《史记·屈原贾生列传》 《记》曰：“士庶有人善，本诸父母。”——明·钱谦益《 袁可立父淮加赠尚宝司少卿》(3) 具有父亲和母亲作用的人 （4）我们的第一位老师 （5）我们的最好的朋友

Answer 3

Parents in life is to go home, parents of life only for the 2 words!

Answer 4

When parents alive, you know where you came from(or was born); but if parents passed away, the only way you have left in your life towards the death.我自己翻的，比较直译。也许不太好
