Portuguese Language and Culture

"Boa sorte e que Deus te abençoe."

Bom dia princesa is portuguese for Good day, princess.

It actually means 'Good morning, princess'. 'Good day' is when someone wishes another 'have a good day', and in that case it's diferent from good morning, though in portuguese 'bom dia' can mean 'good morning' or 'good day', it depends on the context. In this case, it's certainly 'good morning', unless it's used at the end of a conversation or in reply to a 'good day' from the other half, which can mean 'have a good day' as a departing sentence. Hope it's been helpful.
