Umseting - Danskt-Enskt - Jeg er min egen lykkes smed

I'm the architect of my own fortune.

Yes, it can be so Lena! But I think that this is similar to the Danish proverb: "Enhver er sin egen lykkes smed." --> ""Everybody is the smith of his own happiness"

That's why I wrote like I did.

I think too! And the Swedish "Envar är sin egen lyckas smed",but I've never heard your version in English.

What do you think ?

That was a nice page! The translation is right for sure! No doubt about that, but the English equivalent I've heard is the one with the architect.

Yes ...so nice page! I thought that maybe(?) one can write "I forge my own Happiness" instead, that's the meaning I think...or?

Lena,
maybe I can write your version as an alternative translation in the notes.

Well, I don't know. Maybe your version is totally OK. Only I never heard it in English. Let's see what Lilian thinks. She will probably have a good solution.

Hi girls,

Yes, Pia, you are right! There's a motto:
"Be the smith of your own happiness" with a Swedish origin.

I think this translation is right, anyway I'll set a poll to be sure, OK?
