Is the love of chocolate universal?

To celebrate reaching the $1000 mark for contributions given to Vision Trust, let’s open a bag of Baci brand chocolates. Distinctly Italian, this brand of chocolate is sure to please any chocolate lover. Speaking of “lover,” each chocolate bears a delicate slip of parchment paper with a proverb inside.

Mine read like this:

I loved you at first sight. And you smile because you know it.
Come ti vidi m’innamorai. E to sorridiperche’ lo sai.
Como te vi, me enamore’. Y tu” sonri’es porque lo sabes.
Je t’ai aimé à première vue. Et tu souris parce que tu le sais.
我一見鍾情你。你微笑,因為你知道它。

and my second one…
We were together, all else has long been forgotten by me.
Eravamo insieme, tutto il resto l’ho scordato.
Esta’bamos juntos, todo el resto lo he olvidado.
我們在一起,其他一切早已被我遺忘。
