It's printed on the sides of a bottle opener. There's a logo for Warteck beer (from Switzerland). One side says:
"E halli Freud. La vie en blonde." And the other side says: "E halli Freud. Una chiara gioia." There are two dots over the the "a" in "halli". Any ideas? "La vie en blonde" is "Life as a blonde", but what about everything else? |

Are the two dots an umlaut? a la motley crue? (jeff could probably put the character up there with his keyboard)

If it is a Swiss beer wouldn't the logical guess be French. The words look like they have a Latin origin so I have to guess French.

If it's a local Swiss language, then it would be German, French, Italian or Romansh.
It does not appear to be German or French. I happen to be in Basel today, so I'll keep my eyes open for a Warteck beer and find a local to ask. John

According to the translater at http://www.dictionary.com "Una chiara gioia" is Italian for "a clear joy".

Yes. The two dots are an umlaut.

If I had to guess, I'd say "E halli Freud. La vie en blonde." means "All hail Freud, long live the blond!" But I really don't know. Sounds cool though.
"All hail Freud! Long live the blond!" Might get that on a t-shirt.
