Un punnagai unmen nadai
Haiyo ennai yetho seiya
Minsaramaai un kan imai
Paikindrathae naan enna seiveno
Pollatha kaadhal ondru

Pogatha paadhai thedi
En kalgal thulluthae

Where’s is the party
Where where’s is the party
Where’s is the party
Where where’s is the party now
Where's the party now?
Where's...
Where is the party right now?
Suddenly, thunder and rain
fill my heart.
Girl, the way I see everything is changing!
Suddenly it snapped,
my heart, just a little;
when you come near, it completely shatters!
My love, my love,
in my heart, in my heart,
because of you, inside me
there is an earthquake!
Where is the party?
Where, where is the party?
Where is the party?
Where, where is the party now?
...
Your smile, your graceful walk,
oh, they do something crazy to me!
Like an electric shock, your glance
strikes me; what am I to do?
A wild kind of love
is lighting a fire inside me.
Searching for paths I've never walked,
my feet are jumping with joy!
When my heart,
just like a football,
was kicked by you,
I soared right past the sky!
Oh, suddenly thunder and rain
fill my heart.
Girl, the way I see everything
is changing... hey!
Aahoo... Aaaahoo...
With one eye, you cast a spell,
with the other, you left a wound.
You told lies that I love,
and spoke the sweet truth that you love me too!
Riding on a chariot of joy,
as my heart leaps ahead,
calling me a total madman,
you scold me and confess your love.
That even tears
can taste sweet,
through your love,
I have come to realize!
Where is the party?
Where, where is the party?
Where is the party?
Where, where is the party now?

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

The song depicts a young man captivated by the sudden, overwhelming sensation of falling in love. He describes his inner emotions as a violent storm, an earthquake, and an electrical spark triggered by the girl's presence. Her gaze and actions send his feelings soaring into the sky like a kicked football, throwing his life into a joyful chaos. As the song progresses, he celebrates the sweet dualities of love—how her eyes charm and hurt at the same time, how her scoldings feel like affection, and how even tears taste sweet in her presence. Interspersed with high-energy party beats, the lyrics capture the ecstasy, madness, and disorientation of newly discovered romance.
