Buggimaan
When life is pleasant and sweet,
you don't appreciate it,
and a life without happiness
is not something you like here.
In so many different ways,
I confessed my love to you, girl.
Like a clever fox,
I snatched the prize.
Messy, sticky,
and complicated as it is,
trusting such a love,
let no one stumble into it blindly.
The thorny bushes along the way,
just toss them aside!
Hey Lakshmi, Lakshmi, Lakshmi,
you enchantress who came to test my desires!
Hey darling girl, sweet little doll,
the auspicious lamp of my family,
you truly are!
Again and again and again,
let's not have fights and quarrels, girl.
Right now inside my heart,
desire is rising.
Come, let's live our life
happily, Subbulakshmi!
Where arguments never happen,
show me a couple like that!
Nobody here is perfect,
including God Himself!
A restless cow must be handled firmly,
a gentle cow must be coaxed with a song.
Just for the sake of your desires,
don't snatch away my freedom!
Where arguments never happen,
show me a couple like that!
Nobody here is perfect,
including God Himself!
A restless cow must be handled firmly,
a gentle cow must be coaxed with a song.
Just for the sake of your desires,
don't snatch away my freedom!
Happily, Subbulakshmi!
Oh... relatives, buddies,
or the next-door neighbor—
don't listen to their chatter!
Your life is in your own hands.
Even if you feel you've had enough,
don't let go of opportunities that come your way!
Step into the field, there's nothing wrong;
take a firm decision,
and never look back.
Keep your ambition strong
inside your heart. Ten different people
will say ten different things;
brush it aside and let them talk.
We don't give up!
Search, keep searching,
go after your ambition!
Until you achieve it,
search with self-confidence!
Rise and move forward with fire in your eyes!
Whoever comes to block your path,
push them aside with fierce drive!
No need to talk too much now,
no need to drag out the story.
Just by talking and talking, our life
is going completely to waste, man!
Keep it in mind, listen closely,
take the good lesson and tell after watching the film:
Happily, Subbulakshmi!
Where arguments never happen,
show me a couple like that!
Nobody here is perfect,
including God Himself!
A restless cow must be handled firmly,
a gentle cow must be coaxed with a song.
Just for the sake of your desires,
don't snatch away my freedom!
Where arguments never happen,
show me a couple like that!
Nobody here is perfect,
including God Himself!
A restless cow must be handled firmly,
a gentle cow must be coaxed with a song.
Just for the sake of your desires,
don't snatch away my freedom!
Happily, Subbulakshmi!
My path is a path of its own,
don't cross it like a cat!
Don't provoke the wrath of the family deity,
don't make things boil over!
Like a blessing gained through prayer under the sacred peepal tree,
the pure and precious
love I received is you, isn't it?
A human being has endless,
countless millions of desires,
and all my desire is only you!
Hey, if you think that whatever you feel
is always right,
then all my opinions
will obviously look wrong to you!
Differences of opinion
are common in a family.
Why keep going back
and turning over the horoscopes for that?
After many years of searching,
this came together as our love.
When our love was going so well,
why should we constantly clash?
Even if two hearts join as one,
can life thrive if our thoughts stay divided?
Where arguments never happen,
show me a couple like that!
Nobody here is perfect,
including God Himself!
A restless cow must be handled firmly,
a gentle cow must be coaxed with a song.
Just for the sake of your desires,
don't snatch away my freedom!
Where arguments never happen,
show me a couple like that!
Nobody here is perfect,
including God Himself!
A restless cow must be handled firmly,
a gentle cow must be coaxed with a song.
Just for the sake of your desires,
don't snatch away my freedom!
Happily, Subbulakshmi!
Happily, Subbulakshmi!
Subbulakshmi...
Happily, Subbulakshmi!
Subbulakshmi...
Happily, Subbulakshmi!
Subbulakshmi...
Happily, Subbulakshmi!
Subbulakshmi...
Happily, Subbulakshmi!
