Annotation:

This is a proverb meaning that what other people have always seems better than what you have. It can also be used to refer to other people's situations.

One of the Esperanto translations of this sentence is quite picturesque: “En landoj transmaraj estas oraj arbaroj.” (In lands across the sea, there are forests of gold.) Another version, "Propra supo brogas; fremda allogas." means "One's own soup is scalding hot; the stranger's (soup) entices.”
