Italian term

“Anche se piove o tira il vento, sempre felice io mi sento!”

Italian to English Art/Literary Poetry & Literature
A rhyme from a childrens' book.

Just look for a few ideas if anyone is feeling creative...

At the moment I have "Come wind or rain, I'm happy all the same!" but there might be something snappier.

Thanks.

Fiona Grace Peterson Feb 10, 2010:
TBH It seemed like you were the one taking it personally, with your thinly-veiled sarcasm. I'm bowing out of this thread now.
Paul O'Brien Feb 10, 2010:
To Fiona The same applies to you. Be prepared for positive and engative comments on your comments. :-)
We're just having a friendly debate. Don't take it personally.
Fiona Grace Peterson Feb 10, 2010:
To Pauley With regards to your comment, try reading the KudoZ FAQs - "be prepared for other members to comment both positively and negatively on your answer". I said what I thought - if you're not prepared to accept criticism then perhaps you shouln't contribute
BrigitteHilgner Feb 10, 2010:
With Fiona My second choice would be Pauley's suggestion.
Fiona Grace Peterson Feb 10, 2010:
Your suggestion I like your suggestion, David - I think it's the best so far :o)
David Turnbull (asker) Feb 10, 2010:
credo che in questo caso le parole si puo' cambiare. l'imoprtante qui sia il significato e che la frase risulta facile da ricordare per i ragazzini.
Constantinos Faridis (X) Feb 10, 2010:
la rima è quasi impossibile da una lingua ad un'altra...eccetto se cambi le parole

Come rain or shine happiness is mine

neutral James (Jim) Davis : It is a truly great line, but unfortunately I don't think its right for children's book

agree philgoddard : I think it's fine. You could leave out the "come", and it needs a comma after "shine".

It's a seven-word sentence consisting of two clauses, one of which is an idiom known the world over, including by children. What on earth do you mean by saying it is convoluted?
agree Ivana UK : seems perfect to me - short, to the point and easy to remember. I can already see all the little kids repeating this :)
