Please translate " a vida e dura para quem e mole"
I have received a decorative tile with the following inscription "a vida e dura para quem e mole" What is the English translation?

It's Portuguese and a bit of wordplay.
One interpretation would be "Life is hard for (one) who is soft."
"Duro" (in its feminine form here, "dura") has a lot of idiomatic meaning as well, ranging from "hard up" as in broke or having no money, to "stubborn."
Hello Shgshg, welcome to the Forum.
The expression you have submitted is in Portuguese, not Spanish. This is a learning site for people wishing to learn Spanish or English, rather than a translation service. Nevertheless, in my weak understanding of Portuguese, I believe the expression means: "Life is hard for those who are soft"
sounds part latin- quem
Sounds like they got some mole in your hard life. jejeje
