    lykke er som en sommerfugl, der, når den forfølges, altid er uden for vores greb, men som hvis du vil sidde stille og roligt, kan tænde på dig.

    la felicidad es como una mariposa que, cuando la perseguimos, siempre está más allá de nuestro alcance, pero que, si se sienta en silencio, puede posarse sobre usted.

    le bonheur est comme un papillon qui, lorsqu'il est poursuivi, est toujours hors de notre portée, mais qui, si vous vous asseyez tranquillement, peut se poser sur vous.

    lykke er som en sommerfugl som, når du blir forfulgt, alltid er utenfor vår grep, men som hvis du vil sette deg stille, kan komme til å tenne på deg.

    lycka är som en fjäril som, när jag förföljs, alltid är utanför vårt grepp, men som om du kommer att sitta tyst kan tända på dig.
