My eyes can twinkle
My lips can smile
But the sorrow in my heart, can nobody see

Title
Oculi mei micare possunt
Translation
Latin

Translated by Martijn
Target language: Latin

Oculi mei micare possunt
Labia mea subridere possunt
Sed dolorem in pectore, nemo videre potest
Remarks about the translation
The words mei/mea are somewhat unnessecary in Latin here. Since Latin has no articles 'oculi' can mean both '(the) eyes' or 'my/his/her.. eyes'. The correct translation depends on the context.

One could even say
Oculi micare et labia subridere possunt
Sed dolorem in pectore, nemo videre potest
