Spanish term or phrase: suerte
suerte que mis pechos sean pequenos y no los confundas con montanas
Devika Shivprashad
lucky/luck
Explanation:
Hi Devika:-)
Though you put "other" as the category, I'd like to think it's literary:-)

"lucky (or luck) that my breasts are small and not to be mistaken for mountains".

That's how I'd translate it.

Hope it helps:-)
