They are related in meaning to "content" and "felicity" in English.

Hola!

I remember being corrected on SpanishDict for using "contenta" when I should have used "feliz". They said that "contento/a" means more of "satisfied" rather than "happy". If you wanted to say 'happy' (as in I am happy today), you would use "feliz".
