The song "Lucky" by Tumsa speaks about the feeling of being lucky and the different things that make the singer feel that way. The opening lines mention having a pack of lucky cigarettes in one hand and the hand of a lucky girl in the other, highlighting a sense of companionship and trust. The lyrics go on to mention a lucky day, a lucky face, and a lucky photo in a lucky passport. The singer believes that they look so lucky that others don't even love them.
The song continues to list more lucky items, including a lucky bottle of whisky and a lucky smile. Despite feeling so lucky, the singer acknowledges that the devil hates them and God doesn't know them, adding an interesting contrast to the overall feeling of the song.
Overall, the lyrics suggest that luck is a state of mind, and having lucky items around can contribute to that feeling. The repetition of the phrase "I'm so lucky" serves to reinforce this idea.
