This is a party, man!
Time to get ready, buddy!
Forget your worries, girl!
Shaking it all night, yeah!
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah...
Are you ready?
Chorus: Yeah...
Female: Are you ready?
Chorus: Yeah...
Female: Let's party!
Chorus: Yo...
No star hotels for me,
No saxophone for me,
I just want wide open spaces!
Chorus: Oh yeah!
Oh yeah!
Female: No city lights,
No sounds of cell phones,
I just want an innocent heart!
Chorus: No, no... oh
Why, why, why for me,
is this air-conditioned prison?
Isn't there an open sky to fly?
Life is turning so sour and dull,
isn't there any alternative to this?
Like a horse prancing in a grassy meadow,
won't I roll around in the dust?
Along with little girls,
won't I gather seashells?
Like a horse prancing in a grassy meadow,
won't I roll around in the dust?
Along with little girls,
won't I gather seashells?
Our territory, our turf!
We are the army of this territory!
Come on, boss!
Millions and millions,
that's our goal!
Our victory is guaranteed!
With huge stacks of cash,
soft, thick mattresses,
we must stitch!
We want to live like everyone else,
That's right, man!
We want to build a hut on top of that LIC skyscraper!
Let's celebrate!
Shaba!
Hey shaba!
Hey shaba shaba... hey shaba!
Hey shaba hey!
Hey shaba hey!
Hey shaba shaba... hey shaba!
Watching DVDs all day,
my eyes have grown exhausted!
Run out of the house!
Chorus: Oh yeah!
Oh yeah!
Female: Standing in one place,
my legs have turned to roots!
Run towards the wild woods!
Chorus: No, no... oh
Every day like a flower,
sleeping endlessly on a soft bed,
my body has caught the sickness of laziness!
In the night, out on the sidewalk,
I feel the urge to just sleep on the pavement... yeah!
On the butterfly's wings,
can't you tie me up?
Riding on the back of the wind,
can't I roam freely in the breeze?
On the butterfly's wings,
can't you tie me up?
Riding on the back of the wind,
can't I roam freely in the breeze?
Our territory, our turf!
We are the army of this territory!
To win in any battle,
there is courage in this chest!
For those whose hearts are steadfast,
there is a share in the World Bank!
Keep pushing till you break through, man!
If you win, whatever was wrong becomes right!
Oh yeah!
Come on, yeah!
Right now, yeah!
Baby, yeah!
Oh yeah!
Come on, yeah!
Right now, yeah!
Baby, yeah!
Oh...
Eating pizzas,
my tongue has lost its taste!
I want country chicken!
Chorus: We want country chicken, ah!
Eating dry bread,
this girl has completely dried up!
I just want dried fish!
Chorus: We want it, we want it!
Why in life,
is there no fresh flavor?
The heart says, 'Demand a change!'
Chorus: Woah-ho-woah
Female: Why for me,
is there still no hunger?
It says, 'Wander around and see, see, see!' yeah!
In the month of Chithirai (mid-April to mid-May),
in the peak summer heat,
shall I sleep wrapped in a wool blanket?
In the pouring rain
of the month of Karthigai (mid-Nov to mid-Dec),
shall I dance without clothes?
In the month of Chithirai (mid-April to mid-May),

Our territory, our turf!
Chorus: Hey hey hey...
Male: We are the army of this territory!
Chorus: Hey hey hey...
Everything that crawls and flies,
fry it up and serve it on the table!
Serve up fresh raw meat,
my mouth is watering already!
We want to scoop it all up and feast,
We want Diwali every single week!
Our territory...
Oh yeah!
Come on, yeah!
Right now, yeah!
Baby, yeah!
Oh yeah!
Come on, yeah!
Right now, yeah!
Baby, yeah!
Yeah yeah...

Beyond the translation
Overall song meaning
The song 'Vattaaram Vattaaram' (or 'This is a party da') is a high-energy youth anthem that rebels against modern artificiality, city routine, and high-strung urban lifestyles. The singers express a deep desire to break free from 'air-conditioned prisons', cell phone ringtones, and corporate monotony to reconnect with raw nature, simple delights like collecting seashells, sleeping under the open sky, and eating authentic rustic foods over processed urban meals.

“Chiththirai maatham Kaththiri veiyilil Kambali pottu thoongatta”
Suggesting sleeping with a heavy woolen blanket during the hottest summer month (Chithirai Kaththiri veiyil) and dancing unclothed in the pouring rain of Kaarthigai as extreme rebellious imagery.
Edhugai (Second-letter Rhyme)
“Pattaam poochchiyin siragil enna / Kaattrin muthugil yerikondae”
The second consonant 'tt' matches across lines ('Pattaam' / 'Kaattrin'), providing rhythmic harmony.
