a tornar el agua en vino
STANZA VII
To Boscan, because once being
in Germany he danced at a wedding.

Everybody's flabbergasted,
As you are spoken about by them all,
Since a miracle you did
Had to take place at the wedding.

Methinks, if you continue
the way you do,
That you will turn water into wine
The same as dancing into laughing

Cuando algo excepcional acontece se dice que ha ocurrido un milagro. Si lo inesperado ocurre en una boda
y si el resultado de lo acontecido repercute en la felicidad de los presentes, la memoria acaba remitiéndonos
a la Biblia. Que el vino y el reír, en su justa medida, sigan formando parte del milagro de vivir.

When something exceptional happens, it is said that there has been a miracle. If the unexpected event
occurs during a wedding, and if as a result it lends happiness to those present, our memory finally refers us
to the Bible. May wine and laughter, in their right proportion, keep being a part of the miracle of living.
