Practice not being too literal # 32

Practice not being too literal # 32

As my title says, I am trying to learn to not be literal in translations, so every day I will post a saying in English and ask for suggestions as to how to convey the thought in Spanish. At the end of the day, I will pick the answer that I think most accurately reflects the idea, and I will choose it as best answer for 20 points to the respondent.

Today's phrase is, "Everything's coming up roses."

Good luck!!

Todo marcha/va viento en popa. (Everything goes like wind in the sails).

How about, "Todo me está saliendo bien."?

Que yo sepa, hay dos posibilidades: "todo está/va saliendo a pedir de boca", "No todo es color de rosa"

Espero que te sirva.

Does, "que yo sepa" mean something like "as far as I know?" I have heard this phrase before in books and couldn't figure out its exact meaning... - PumpkinCalabaza, Aug 7, 2012
yes, exactly! - pescador1, Aug 7, 2012

Todo pinta color de rosa. Todo sale a pedir de boca. Todo marcha sobre ruedas. Más fácil imposible.
