Happiest Man On Earth
Broken Back Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

This pretty smile on this pretty face
I think I am the happiest man on earth

I belong to the roads now
Coming home to my old town
This pretty smile on this pretty face
I think I am the happiest man on earth
I think I am the happiest man on earth
I think I am the happiest man on earth
I think I am the happiest man on earth
I think I am the happiest man on earth

Will you let me empty
The pain in your eyes
The chain in your heart
I'm gonna break it with my arms

Whenever you feel sad
In times of dark days
Going through a bad patch
Please come and take my hand

I care too much about you
To let you get drown
I'll always stay around
Whenever you hit the ground

I belong to the roads now
Coming home to my old town
This pretty smile on this pretty face
I think I am the happiest man on earth

I belong to the roads now
Coming home to my old town
This pretty smile on this pretty face
I think I am the happiest man on earth
I think I am the happiest man on earth
I think I am the happiest man on earth
I think I am the happiest man on earth
I think I am the happiest man on earth

Will you let me empty
The pain in your eyes
The chain in your heart
I'm gonna break it with my arms

Whenever you feel sad
In times of dark days
Going through a bad patch
Please come and take my hand

I care too much about you
To let you get drown
I'll always stay around
Whenever you hit the ground

I belong to the roads now
Coming home to my old town
This pretty smile on this pretty face
I think I am the happiest man on earth

I belong to the roads now
Coming home to my old town
This pretty smile on this pretty face
I think I am the happiest man on earth
I think I am the happiest man on earth

I think I am the happiest man on earth
I think I am the happiest man on earth

Line by Line Meaning

I'll make it quick for you to know
I will be brief in telling you the truth

Splashing my feelings is not where I'm the best (at)
Expressing emotions is not a strong suit of mine

I've never told you many things that I should
I have kept certain things hidden from you

The words are on my lips, it's time to tell you the truth
I am ready to reveal what I have been keeping inside

I belong to the roads now
I am free to travel on the open road

Coming home to my old town
Returning to the place where I grew up

This pretty smile on this pretty face
My attractive appearance leaves me feeling content

I think I am the happiest man on earth
I believe that I am the most joyful person alive

Will you let me empty
May I help relieve

The pain in your eyes
The suffering I see in your gaze

The chain in your heart
The burden weighing heavily on your heart

I'm gonna break it with my arms
I will use my embrace to ease your pain

Whenever you feel sad
When you are overcome with sorrow

In times of dark days
During difficult times

Going through a bad patch
Experiencing a rough period in life

Please come and take my hand
Please allow me to be there for you

I care too much about you
You mean too much to me

To let you get drown
I won't let you suffer alone

I'll always stay around
I will be a constant presence in your life

Whenever you hit the ground
When life knocks you down

HAPPIEST MAN ON EARTH
Letra
Haré esto rápido para que lo sepas, no soy el mejor salpicando mis sentimientos
Nunca te he dicho muchas cosas que debería
Las palabras están en mis labios, es hora de decirte la verdad
Haré esto rápido para que lo sepas, no soy el mejor salpicando mis sentimientos
Nunca te he dicho muchas cosas que debería
Las palabras están en mis labios, es hora de decirte la verdad
Ahora pertenezco a los caminos
Regresando a mi vieja ciudad
Esta bonita sonrisa en esta bonita cara
Creo que soy el hombre más feliz de la tierra
Ahora pertenezco a los caminos
Regresando a mi vieja ciudad
Esta bonita sonrisa en esta bonita cara
Creo que soy el hombre más feliz de la tierra
Creo que soy el hombre más feliz de la tierra
¿Me dejarás vaciar?
el dolor en tus ojos
Las cadenas en tu corazón
las voy a romper con mis brazos
Siempre que te sientas triste
En tiempos de días oscuros
Pasando por un mal momento
Por favor, ven y toma mi mano
Me preocupo demasiado por ti
Para dejar que te ahogues
Siempre estaré aquí
Cada vez que golpees el suelo
Ahora pertenezco a los caminos
Regresando a mi vieja ciudad
Esta bonita sonrisa en esta bonita cara
Creo que soy el hombre más feliz de la tierra
Ahora pertenezco a los caminos
Regresando a mi vieja ciudad
Esta bonita sonrisa en esta bonita cara
Creo que soy el hombre más feliz de la tierra
Creo que soy el hombre más feliz de la tierra
¿Me dejarás vaciar?
El dolor en tus ojos
Las cadenas en tu corazón
Las voy a romper con mis brazos
Me preocupo demasiado por ti
Para dejar que te ahogues
Siempre estaré aquí
Cada vez que golpees el suelo
Ahora pertenezco a los caminos
Regresando a mi vieja ciudad
Esta bonita sonrisa en esta bonita cara
Creo que soy el hombre más feliz de la tierra
Ahora pertenezco a los caminos
Regresando a mi vieja ciudad
Esta bonita sonrisa en esta bonita cara
Creo que soy el hombre más feliz de la tierra
Creo que soy el hombre más feliz de la tierra
Creo que soy el hombre más feliz de la tierra

Are those who sing this song tongue tied? It sounds like they are or maybe they have a split in the roof of their mouths. Just curious.

Alex Georghiades

I think this video beautifully captures the metaphore of life. how he, the happiest man, is care free and rides through life seeing all these things, money, fame, looks that hook people and stop them from enjoying and seeing the inherent happiness within life.

Rachel Silva

+Alex Georghiades Absolutely!

Jürgen Uuspuu

8y↑3

+Alex Georghiades I agree - a beautiful depiction of life's trivialities for a guy having the time of his life enjoying the simple pleasures of life, in his case reliving past happiness with his adorable little three wheeler.

If you think money stops ppl from enjoying life, I suggest you turn off your tablet and smartphone and speak to a poor person. Poverty leads to violence, lack of education, disease, suicide, the list is endless

Je les ai vus hier soir en concert à Nantes, c'était excellent ! Que du bonheur, c'est passé trop vite ! Le naturel et la simplicité de ces mecs (Je me permets de les appeler "mec", puisque sur la dédicace de mon C.D, j'ai un "A bientôt mec !") ajoutent à l'attachement que l'on peut avoir pour Broken Back... Continuez comme cela Messieurs, gardez votre accessibilité et vos pieds sur terre, même si cela risque d'être difficile à la vue du succès que vous rencontrez et qui n'est, j'en suis certain, que le début de longues années de carrière et de succès !

This is the second song ever to make me feel this way. A masterpiecie

this song brings tears to my eyes and smile to my face at the same time! that's what I feel! I'm so done with those runs, I want to just move on in my own pace. It was nothing but apathy for a year or so. Now it's much better (I'm back home now, small town, slow life). But some people keep aggressively telling me that I have to "get a life" like they're scared to death that I don't want a "good job" and romantic relationships and so on. Not a deadly thing, but it's kinda pressure. I want to finally start doing what I really want to, and it takes time.

I'm 21. I want to enjoy this road trip.
Period.

Priscilla Celestino

Hi dear! I don't know if you are a man or a woman but I just wanted to tell you, do what your heart feels it's right. Don't let people try to control your journey because they think that is the only wait to get through life. You're 21, I'm 20. We are in a phase of discovery of ourselves and of the world. We finally have more autonomy in our actions. Let's take advantage of it. Hope your life get even happier every day 😊 Greetings from Brazil 🇧🇷
