[English]

When it's time to party, we will party hard

Hey!

You, you work all night (all night!)

And when you work you just feel alright

And when, when things stop feeling alright (alright!)

And everything is alright

'Cause we will never listen to your rules (no!)

We will never do as others do (no!)

Know what we want and we get it from you

Do what we like and we like what we do

So let's get a party going (let's get a party going!)

Now it's time to party, and we'll party hard (party hard!)

Let's get a party going (let's get a party going!)

When it's time to party, we will always party hard

Party hard!

(Party hard, party hard, party hard, party hard, party hard, party hard, party hard)

Party hard!

(Party hard, party hard, party hard, party hard, party hard, party, party, party hard)

Party hard!

Hey! Hey! Hey!

Alright!

You, you fight that fight (that fight)

And when you're fighting, you feel alright

But when, when things stop feeling alright (alright!)

And everything is alright

'Cause we will never listen to your rules (no!)

We will never do as others do (no!)

We know what we want, and we get it from you

We do what we like, and we like what we do

So let's get a party going (let's get a party going!)

Now it's time to party, and we'll party hard (party hard!)

Let's get a party going (let's get a party going!)

When it's time to party, we will always party hard

Party hard!

(Party hard, party hard, party hard, party hard, party hard, party hard, party hard)

Party hard!

(Party hard, party hard, party hard, party hard, party hard, party hard, party hard)

Party hard!

(Party hard, party hard, party hard, party hard, party hard, party hard, party hard) hey! Hey! Hey!

Party hard!

(Party hard, party hard, party hard, party hard, party hard, party, party, party hard) hey! Hey! Hey!

Party hard!
