In all modesty, I believe a better translation would be: \nLet evil have its own way, and you will remain in darkness forever. Be free!\n\nFOLLOW-UP\nOK, leaving all modesty aside, and in the interest of providing Uncle Chris with an accurate answer... It's not enough to have 'some' knowledge of the SOURCE language, so that you get the gist of the writing; you need to understand the subtleties as well, otherwise you risk falling completely off the mark. Second, you have to be truly fluent in the TARGET language, so that your version looks and sounds as though it had been written in English by an English speaker. \n\nIf you break down the original sentence, you can tell that it was translated word for word by someone with a very limited knowledge of French (I doubt that a machine or online translator could have done even this well):\nlaissez = let\nle mauvais = the bad => evil (the article is omitted because 'evil' is an uncountable noun)\navoir = have\nsa propre manière = its own way\net dans l'obscurité = and in darkness (again, uncountable noun -> no article)\nvous resterez = you will stay\npour toujours = forever\n\nThe translation I propose is the only one so far that is true to the intention of the original and that sounds at all like idiomatic English.

I think you mean:\n\n"Another English Lesson\n\nWe'll begin with box, and the plural is boxes;\nBut the plural of ox should be oxen, not oxes.\nThen one fowl is goose, but two are called geese ...\nYet the plural of moose should never be meese.\nYou may find a lone mouse or a whole lot of mice,\nBut the plural of house is houses, not hice.\nIf the plural of man is always called men,\nWhen couldn't the plural of pan be called pen?\nThe cow in the plural may be cows or kine,\nBut the plural of vow is vows, not vine.\nAnd I speak of a foot, and you show me your feet,\nBut I give a boot ... would a pair be called beet?\nIf one is a tooth and a whole set are teeth,\nWhy shouldn't the plural of booth be called beeth?\nIf the singular is this and plural is these,\nWhy shouldn't the plural of kiss be nicknamed kese?\nThen one may be that, and three may be those,\nYet the plural of hat would never be hose;\nWe speak of a brother, and also of brethren,\nBut though we say mother, we never say methren.\nThe masculine pronouns are he, his and him,\nBut imagine the feminine she, shis, and shim!\nSo our English, I think you will all agree,\nIs the trickiest language you ever did see.\nI take it you already know\nOf tough and bough and cough and dough?\nOthers may stumble, but not you\nOn hiccough, thorough, slough, and through?\nWell, done!

Proverbial means from a proverb.  There is an old saying "curiosity killed the cat" - it's not exactly a proverb, but that's what the person meant when he / she said that.  Cats are notoriously curious - more than is good for them.  If you've ever owned one, it has certainly gotten into all kinds of trouble around the house I'm sure - falling into fish tanks, knocking things over etc.  \n\nCuriosity killed the cat is a well-known proverb to warn against being too inquisitive lest you come to harm.\n\nThe earliest printed reference to the origin of this proverb is attributed to British playwright Ben Jonson in his 1598 play, Every Man in His Humour (performed first by British playwright William Shakespeare).\n\n...Helter skelter, hang sorrow, care will kill a cat, up-tails all, and a pox on the hangman.\n\nIn this instance, "care" was defined as "worry" or "sorrow."\n\nShakespeare used a similar quote in his circa 1599 play, Much Ado About Nothing:\n\nWhat, courage man! what though care killed a cat, thou hast mettle enough in thee to kill care.\n\nThe proverb apparently remained the same until at least 1898. E. Cobham Brewer included this definition in his Dictionary of Phrase and Fable:\n\nCare killed the Cat. It is said that "a cat has nine lives," yet care would wear them all out.\n\nThe earliest known printed reference that is similar in style and meaning to the current proverb is O. Henry's short story Schools and Schools from 1909:\n\nCuriosity can do more things than kill a cat; and if emotions, well recognized as feminine, are inimical to feline life, then jealousy would soon leave the whole world catless.\n\nThe earliest known printed reference to the actual phrase occurred in The Washington Post on 4 March 1916 (page 6):\n\nCURIOSITY KILLED THE CAT.\n\nFour Departments of New York City Government Summoned to Rescue Feline.\n\nFrom the New York World.\n\nCuriosity, as you may recall—\n\nOn the fifth floor of the apartment house at 203 West 130th street lives Miss Mable Godfrey. When she came to the house about seven months ago she brought Blackie, a cat of several years' experience of life.\n\nThe cat seldom left the apartment. He was a hearth cat, not a fence cat, and did not dearly love to sing. In other respects he was normal and hence curious.\n\nLast Tuesday afternoon when Miss Godfrey was out Blackie skipped into the grate fireplace in a rear room. He had done this many times before. But he had not climbed up the flue to the chimney. This he did Tuesday. Blackie there remained, perched on the top of the screen separating the apartment flue from the main chimney, crying for assistance. Miss Godfrey, returning, tried to induce her pet to come down. If you are experienced in felinity, you know that Blackie didn't come down.\n\nOn Wednesday the cat, curiosity unsatisfied, tried to climb higher—and fell to the first floor. His cries could still be heard by Miss Godfrey; who, to effect Blackie's rescue, communicated with the following departments:\n1. Police department.\n2. Fire department.\n3. Health department.\n4. Building department.\n5. Washington Heights court.\n\nAmong them they lowered a rope to Blackie. But it availed neither the cat nor them anything.\nThursday morning, just before noon, a plumber opened the rear wall back of the chimney. Blackie was taken out. His fall had injured his back. Ten minutes later Blackie died.\n\nThe proverb, though, has been widely attributed to Eugene O'Neill who included the variation, "Curiosity killed a cat!" in his play Diff'rent from 1920:\n\nBENNY—(with a wink) Curiosity killed a cat! Ask me no questions and I'll tell you no lies.\n\n[edit]\nCuriosity killed the cat, but satisfaction brought it back.\nThe origin of this variation is unknown. But, the earliest printed reference occurs in a horoscope printed in The Lima News (Lima, Ohio) from 14 September 1966 (pag

the correct phrase is "Querer es poder" and I think that the equivalent in English is "Where there's a will there's a way"...if you really want to achieve/get something you'll find a way to do it.\nHope it helps =)
