Chitralahari’s Glassmates Lyrics Translation
The lyrics later dismiss external concerns such as fluctuating petrol prices or international visa policies. The singers instead prioritize immediate, simple pleasures. They ask only for fresh snacks, cold drinks, and good company.

The track builds through repetition of its title and the onomatopoeic “Gala Gala Gala.” This structure supports the song’s core idea that friendship between “glassmates” is the only unconditional bond. This connection is defined as one with no end and no compromises.
