Proverbs
Looking through my memories
There was a school notebook
And the surprise was big
To see that it was from my grandmother
There were love poems
And with great detail
But what captivated me the most
Were all her proverbs
Love and fortune (no resistance)
To each bird (its nest is dear)
With honest gray hair (no closed door is there)
To your brother's house (don't go every summer)
For any ailment (patience is the cure)
To your aunt's house (in and out)
To dinner and bed (only once is it said)
Not by waking up early
Does the day dawn sooner
I kept reading calmly
The ink was blurry
Who would believe that grandma
Was so playful from a young age
I will follow her advice
Before it's too late
Blessing to all the elderly
And may God keep my grandmother
In the land of the blind (the one-eyed is king)
The goat always seeks (for the mountain)
In the blacksmith's house (wooden knife)
To a saving father (a spending son)
To the one given a hand (takes the whole arm)
To the one with a toothache (let it fall out)
That old love (I neither forget nor leave)
Not by waking up early, does the day dawn sooner
In the absence of a hand (feet are good)
To a good chaplain (a better sacristan)
The master's eye (fattens the horse)
To the one who has much (more will come)
Running water (heals the people)
A boat in the shipyard (makes no money)
Love for interest (ends in a snap)
Not by waking up early, does the day dawn sooner
And with this I bid farewell
I hope you take advice
From Grandma's proverbs
So that you reach old age
