CHI TÈ LA MOGLIE BELLE SEMPRE CANTE E CHI TÈ POCA DINARE SEMPRE CONTE
(THOSE WHO HAVE A BEAUTIFUL WIFE ALWAYS SING, THOSE WITH LITTLE MONEY ALWAYS COUNT)
THOSE WHO HAVE A BEAUTIFUL WIFE ARE CERTAINLY MORE FORTUNATE THAN THOSE WHO ARE POOR AND FORCED ALWAYS TO COUNT AND WHO OFTEN DON'T EVEN HAVE A PRETTY WIFE.
LA BILLEZZE FINE A LA PORTE E LA BUNTÀ FINE A LA MORTE
(BEAUTY ALL THE WAY TO THE DOOR AND GOODNESS ALL THE WAY TO THE TIME OF DEATH)
BEAUTY IS SOMETHING THAT FADES AWAY QUICKLY, WHILE GOODNESS IS SOMETHING THAT LASTS UNTIL DEATH.
