soy hombre feliz

[celador]

Ok here is another one. It's kind of a personal pity party, but sometimes that is what brings out the muse.

Note to Fillipe: No doubt about it, a personal translator is better, but it's just not possible to have that always. This is the best I could do with the mechanical by going back and forth.

y, muy gracias por Tomisimo, para la mejor dictinoario para buscando otras palabras.

So (anyone) give this your best critical evaluation. That native personal touch is exactly what I want.

******

I am a Happy Man / soy hombre feliz

People often ask me / La gente a menudo me pregunta
why I seem so sad / porqué parecer tan triste
I smile and answer / sonrío y contesto,
"I am a happy man" / "soy hombre feliz"
but they know somehow / pero, saben de alguna manera
that it is not the truth / que no es la verdad

though sometimes i toss my head / aunque tirando mi cabeza a veces
and laugh out loud / y risa en voz alta
really from my heart / realmente de mi corazón
i will never smile again/ nunca sonreiré otra vez

Like a departed soul,/ Como un alma difunto
I walk silently / camino silenciosamente
in an alternate world / en un mundo alterno
where there is no sense of touch / donde no hay sentido del tocar
where opportunity still comes / todavía viene de oportunidad
but, only to disguise the pain / pero, disfrazar solamente el dolor
that will be too much my fate / cuál será demasiado mi destino
too late for happiness / así que así tarde para felicidad
