A man is always in a big hurry.  A terrible monster is defeated by a cat.  A rich man devises a cunning plan to marry off his daughter.
Even if he became an artist, 
things would still be hard for him.
Si se hace pintor, tendrá 
que pasar momentos difíciles.
Si se hace pintor, tendrá una vida difícil.
Mesmo que ele se torne um artista,
as coisas ainda vão ser difíceis para ele.
