The spirit of contentment ever wears the hues of joy.
Del color de la dicha
Se viste siempre el contento.
Se viste siempre el contento.

For in a firm mind there is always found an unchanged countenance for good and evil.
As the day sinks cool and fresh into the tomb, to be the guest of the sea-god, good-night to you.
