Quote:
nunca es tarde si la dicha es buena means better late than never but I don't think that this can be correct. I think the Spanish means It is never too late if the circumstances are right, but better late than never means something completely different. Anybody?

It means mejor tarde que nunca, que tampoco es que este muy desencaminado, pero no es lo más exacto.
