A literal translation of it is roughly: Wise heart to the right hand, foolish heart to the left hand.
A more meaningful translation though might be: The wise prefers his right (stronger) hand, and the fool prefers his left (weaker) hand.
Of course, most of this unfortunately gets lost in translation.
