Lucky, lucky... lucky, lucky...
If you know how to love, you are lucky!
Ladki, ladki (girl), you are lucky too!
If you understand your lover, you are lucky!
Insure both your hearts,
And fall in love, rocking the whole town!
Lucky, lucky... lucky, lucky...
If you know how to love, you are lucky!
If you know how to love, you are lucky!
...
Love is an alliance of two hearts,
Oho... oho...
Love is the symphony of youth,
Oho... oho...
My whole body is wounded, my girl,
The touch of your lips alone can heal it!
Separation is always cruel, my girl,
Show me your affection just like before!
With your tiny little smiles,
Moonlight will shower down upon my wild heart!
Lucky, lucky... lucky, lucky...
If you know how to love, you are lucky!
Ladki, ladki (girl), you are lucky too!
If you understand your lover, you are lucky!
Insure both your hearts,
And fall in love, rocking the whole town!
Lucky, lucky... lucky, lucky...
If you know how to love, you are lucky!
...
When there is distance between lips,
Oho... oho...
How can two lovers truly unite?
Oho... oho...
Let the Kolattam (rhythmic dance) begin today,
Let all our restless desires be satisfied!
The branch you hold onto is strong and solid,
Why do you still bring up old arguments, girl?
Lock away your doubts and fantasies,
And let all four seasons blend together!
Lucky, lucky... lucky, lucky...
If you know how to love, you are lucky!
Oh, ladki, ladki (girl), you are lucky too!
If you understand your lover, you are lucky!
Insure both your hearts,
And fall in love, rocking the whole town!
Lucky, lucky... lucky, lucky...
If you know how to love, you are lucky!
Ladki, ladki (girl), you are lucky too!
If you understand your lover, you are lucky!
Insure both your hearts,
And fall in love, rocking the whole town!
Lucky, lucky... lucky, lucky...
If you know how to love, you are lucky!
If you know how to love, you are lucky!
If you know how to love, you are lucky!
