"Grass greener": different suggestion

[Prof Steven P Hill]

Dear colleagues and Prof Knox-V.:

I  seem to recall long ago reading a Russian phrase worded 
appoximately as follows:

"Slavny bubny za gorami" (?).  

Is the sense similar to "Grass is greener..."?  Or very different?

Best wishes to all,
Steven  Hill,
University of Illinois.

We are trying to come up with a good translation in Russian of the 
English saying "The grass is greener on the other side of the fence." 
Would appreciate help. Jane Knox-Voina, Bowdoin College, Russian Dept
