Sorry, that's idiomatic English.
For the non-English speakers: "gilding the lily" means to foolishly try
to improve on something that's already magnificent. "Gilding" means to
paint something with gold. A lily is already a beautiful flower:
gilding the lily will not make it more beautiful -- it will only waste
your time and your labor.
Not to be confused with gelding the filly, which, if you're doing, well,
as I said, you're probably quite confused...
