Hey, East or West,
North or South,
everywhere is our youthful celebration!
Don't live life worrying about Vaastu,
life is pure fun!
Hey, hot or cold,
sweet or salty,
taste whatever comes your way!
Don't live life by strict plans,
life is pure fun!
Hey, if exams and constant tuition classes
weren't around, it's total fun!
A dad who doesn't scold,
and a sweet sweetheart—
if you have them, it's pure fun!
Hey, turning your arms
into wings is fun!
If you can understand
a baby's language, it's fun!
Oh, it's pure fun!
Even when holding an umbrella,
getting soaked in the rain is fun!
It's fun!
Opening up your heart
now and then is fun!
Oh, it's pure fun!
Relishing whatever your heart loves
is pure joy!
If you keep smiling,
you'll be happy.
If you don't smile,
you'll get weepy.
Open your heart
and look at this world,
life is pure fun!
When a mustache just begins to sprout,
and you gently touch it with your fingers,
the joy that rises in your heart
is pure fun!
Instead of speaking harshly like spicy chilies,
if you talk gently and with love,
even a murderer turns into an innocent child!
It's pure fun!
Even when you know karate and kung fu,
losing to a friend is fun!
Setting an alarm, waking up at dawn,
and going right back to sleep is fun!
Hey, sitting by the window in a gentle drizzle is fun!
Cracking a joke with the god of death is fun!
Oh, it's pure fun!
Climbing up a mountain and basking in the chill is fun!
It's fun!
Enjoying your youth to the fullest is fun!
Oh, it's pure fun!
Respecting old age from the bottom of your heart is fun!
It's fun!
Hey, East or West,
North or South,
everywhere is our youthful celebration!
Don't live life worrying about Vaastu,
life is pure fun!
...
Hundreds of years ago,
your house and your street didn't belong to you.
Once you realize this, life is always
pure fun!
Even if you defeat hundreds of people,
that doesn't count as true bravery.
The courage to forgive whole-heartedly
is pure joy!
To live without jealousy and anger—
if you can manage that, it's fun!
Instead of living like everyone else,
being different is fun!
Hey, having a dream
that turns into your ambition is fun!
Shedding tears of joy when winning is fun!
Oh, it's pure fun!
Laughing in the face of defeat is fun!
Yes, it is truly fun!
Understanding another person's
thirst is pure joy!
Oh, it's pure fun!
Hugging the one who came to strike you is fun!
It's fun!
Ho ho ho ho...
Come on, come on!
Ho ho ho ho!
If you keep smiling,
you'll be happy.
If you don't smile,
you'll get weepy.
Open your heart
and look at this world,
life is pure fun!
