É un'allegoria con cui si augura buona fortuna a qualcuno. Si dice "In bocca al lupo" perché per i lupi cuccioli il luogo più sicuro e accogliente è la bocca della madre. In'italia c'é la tradizione di rispondere a questo augurio con "Crepi" (ossia "Si frantumi, muoia") perché perché il senso originale del modo di dire é stato perduto e per il senso comune i lupi sono pericolosi, quindi si spera di avere la fortuna che "crepino".

No hay traducción literal en español, pero sería como decir “que tengas suerte”
