The Spanish sentence says "el pasto del vecino" (the grass of the neighbor).
That's more logical, by the way.

Maybe this is supposed to be the complete proverb/idiom.

The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence.

> The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence.

Indeed, this is the original idiom, but the shorter version "The grass is always greener" has become quite common on its own.
