QUEM ME VÊ SORRINDO by Cartola and Carlos Cachaça, new words by Joel Sattler
New title: "Happy's Just a Disguise"
Say, you thought me smiling meant that I was okay
You ought to know happy's just a disguise
That's because the tears are locked away within
My heart and not inside my eyes
If perhaps you don't believe my pain
Perhaps you don't believe that, that I feel anything
But when I hit a low, no matter how I doubt
I go and try to sing my heart out
Say, you thought me smiling meant that I was okay
You ought to know, happy's just a disguise
That's because the tears are locked away within
My heart and not inside my eyes
And so I know mistakes we all have made
Some cry when they are glad, but my sad I hide
I made me a solemn vow, which you see before you now
To always keep the tears inside
Say, you thought me smiling meant that I was okay
You ought to know happy's just a disguise
That's because the tears are locked away within
My heart and not inside my eyes

Original lyrics in Portuguese:
Quem me vê sorrindo pensa que estou alegre
O meu sorriso é por consolação
Porque sei conter para ninguém ver
O pranto do meu coração
O que eu sofri por esse amor, talvez
Não compreendeste e se eu disser não crês
Depois de derramado, ainda soluçando
Tornei-me alegre, estou cantando
Quem me vê sorrindo pensa que estou alegre
O meu sorriso é por consolação
Porque sei conter para ninguém ver
O pranto do meu coração
Compreendi o erro de toda humanidade
Uns choram por prazer e outros com saudade
Jurei e a minha jura jamais eu quebrarei
Todo pranto esconderei
Quem me vê sorrindo pensa que estou alegre
O meu sorriso é por consolação
Porque sei conter para ninguém ver
O pranto do meu coração
