If a moment you'd enjoy
Drink a cold refreshing draught:
If an hour, then early dine:
If a day then dress your beard;
If a week a bath you'll take,
If a month, a porker kill;
If a happy year you'd pass
Marry then a cleanly lass.

(Dice el refran)
Si quieres un lindo rato,
Bebe frio; si una hora,
Come en tu casa temprano;
Si un buen dia, hazte la barba;
Si una semana, vé al baño;
Si un buen mes, mata un lechon;
Y si quieres un buen año,
Cásate con mujer limpia.
