There is liquor to drink... ooh...
There is a beedi (country cigarette) to smoke...
There is the sea to bathe in... ooh...
There is a room to sleep in...
When morning comes, there is money...
And when the lamps are lit, it's fun and games!
A deck of cards,
Life is a deck of cards, my friend!
It takes a little bit of luck,
And a little bit of brains, it takes both, my friend!
If you have luck on your side,
You will win with the cards you get.
If you have the brains,
You will win even with the cards you lost.
Even if the cards are dealt against me,
I will still win and show you, my friend!
Even if I go off track in life,
I will smash through and triumph, my friend!
A deck of cards,
A deck of cards...
Hey... a deck of cards,
Life is a deck of cards, my friend!
It takes a little bit of luck,
And a little bit of brains, it takes both, my friend!
Don't get tangled up in love and nonsense, buddy,
Don't shed tears and waste away, buddy.
Even the Buddhas and Siddhas (mystic saints)
Have told us this, buddy!
A heart broken by love
Won't even burn to ashes on the funeral pyre, buddy!
Don't lose heart and give up,
Just take it easy, buddy!
In your pocket, all you need, man,
Is cash, hard cash!
Right into your hands will come
Heaven, pure heaven!
Just as Wednesday is right next
To Tuesday, side by side,
Just wave your hand and pleasure will come
And stand right before you!
Living by strict rules and discipline,
No man alive
Exists, my friend!
Look, a hen that lays square eggs
Simply does not exist, my friend!
A deck of cards,
A deck of cards...
A deck of cards,
Life is a deck of cards, my friend!
It takes a little bit of luck,
And a little bit of brains, it takes both, my friend!
A deck of cards,
Life is a deck of cards, my friend!
It takes a little bit of luck,
And a little bit of brains, it takes both, my friend! (Dialogue)
Even around Courtallam waterfalls,
There are monkeys that never take a dip!
And people who never smile
Live in this town too!
Work, work for a little while,
Fun, fun for a little while,
Anyone who has neither of these here
Is just an utter fool on earth!
Spending your money today
Is the right and easy way!
Saving it up for tomorrow
Is a mistake, a huge mistake!
Even if the boat sails in the opposite direction,
To the south, to the south,
Look at all the joys in life,
Look for them and seek them out!
Living by strict rules and discipline,
No man alive
Exists, my friend!
Look, a hen that lays square eggs
Simply does not exist, my friend!
A deck of cards,
A deck of cards...
