Once you light the camphor
And circle it around,
Spitting away the bad luck,
The evil eye will vanish!
Good fortune will arrive,
Happiness will double,
And once you see the cash,
All your troubles will disappear!
Whether you believe this
Or just want to avoid any fuss,
Just follow your fun,
This life is a one-way ride!
Suddenly, you might hit the jackpot,
And that is the real surprise!
So never, for any reason,
Put a stop to your happiness!
Rapati nakkunu rapati nakkunu
Rapati nakkunu rapati nakkunu
Rapati nakkunu rapati nakkunu
Ruppappa!
Rapati nakkunu rapati nakkunu
Rapati nakkunu rapati nakkunu
Rapati nakkunu rapati nakkunu
Ruppappa!
Hit it!
Aaha!
No matter what risks you take,
Even if you become an Elon Musk,
There will always be a crowd
Ready to criticize!
Politely brush them off,
Learn the rules of the game,
And chasing after your goal
Is your own duty!
When something sad
Happens in your life,
Why keep brooding the very next day
And ruin your inner peace?
When an airplane is flying,
You think that you are flying,
But the truth is you are simply
Sitting in your seat!
Whether you believe this
Or just want to avoid any fuss,
Just follow your fun,
This life is a one-way ride!
Suddenly, you might hit the jackpot,
And that is the real surprise!
So never, for any reason,
Put a stop to your happiness!
Rapati nakkunu rapati nakkunu

Rapati nakkunu rapati nakkunu
Ruppappa!
