Come, come with me,
I'll teach you how to live,
to live without any worries.
I have bought
heaven itself,
come and stay up here.
Even cold water
will catch fire
if you light it.
What will happen to my heart, darling?
Just looking at you makes my head spin.
If our heads bump,
my brain heats up.
If anyone sees all of you,
they would lose their mind over you.
Life here
comes only once,
learn to live it, man!
Yesterday and tomorrow
do not belong to us,
accept that truth, man!
Only this moment
is truly your own,
so don't let go of what you have!
Tell me, who in this world
lives without worries?
Whatever happens,
we'll just have fun!
Come, come with me,
I'll teach you how to live,
to live without any worries.
A gorgeous girl is caught,
pull her close and hold on tight!
She is like a piece of sweet halwa,
break off a piece and taste it!
Everything has a price,
toss some cash around!
Can we offer Tirupati itself
a giant laddu sweet?
Cook up a tasty
chicken curry,
pour the strong drink
and chug it till you're flying high!
Haan!
Female: To live happily,
there are so many ways.
Chorus: Haan!
Female: I'll teach you everything,
I will.
Chorus: Haan!
Female: No matter who says what,
why should we care?
Chorus: Haan!
Female: Your life
belongs only to you, man!
Haan!
Female: Joy and sorrow
exist side by side here.
Chorus: Haan!
Female: Ask whatever you want,
and I'll give it to you.
Chorus: Haan!
Female: We have
so many desires within us.
Chorus: Haan!
Female: Experience everything
and live life to the fullest!
This season of youth
is truly a treasure
that seeks novelty, man!
Once youth is gone, it won't return,
so live it up while you still have it!
Tell me, who in this world
is completely pure and righteous?
You shouldn't live life
being too naive and honest.
You and I may be different,
but together, we are a blast!
Even God has a part in this,
for a different reason.
Come, come with me,
I'll teach you how to live,
to live without any worries.
