I bought some tiles in Granada, Spain, and have forgotten what they say:
La buena vida, es cara;la hay mas barata, pero no es vida
Si bebes para olvidar paga antes de empezar
Los enemigos del hombre son tres...suegra cunada y mujer
Thanks!
Can someone translate these 3 Spanish phrases for me?

You got yourself 3 great tiles!!!
1) The good life is expensive; there is a cheaper one , but that one is not life( my dad's favorite saying)
2)If you drink to forget you better pay before you start( drinking)
3) Man has three enemies: mother in law, sister in law and his wife
As usual, something is lost in translation. they are much better in spanish than in english.
Loosely translated:
1. A good life is expensive; it can be cheaper, but then it is not life.
2. If you drink to forget, pay up before you start.
Man's enemies are three: hir mother-in-law, his sister-in-law, and his wife.
The translations are:
The good life is expensive; you can find cheaper, but it (wouldn't be) life.
If you drink in order to forget, pay before starting (to drink).
The enemies of men are three: mother-in-law, sister-in-law and wife
MMM
Thank you!
