காத்துல கரையிற
கனவுல தெரியுற
கண்ணாமூச்சி ஆட்டம்தான் எதுக்கு..ஓ...ஓ...
காத்துல கரையிற
கனவுல தெரியுற
கண்ணாமூச்சி ஆட்டம்தான் எதுக்கு..
அல்லாவின் பெயரால் அழைக்கிறேன் உன்னை
உன்னோட ஆட்டத்த நிறுத்து
Dissolving in the air
Appearing in dreams
Why play this game of hide and seek?
Dissolving in the air
Appearing in dreams
Why play this game of hide and seek?
In the name of Allah, I call upon you
Stop your games!
உன் மந்திரங்கள் தந்திரங்கள்
வேண்டாம் வாடா
உன் மாய ஜால வித்தைகளும்
வேண்டாம் வாடா
நீ கூடு விட்டு கூடு பாய
வேண்டாம் வாடா
வாடா வாடா வாடா
Your chants and tricks
Are not needed, come on!
Your magical tricks too
Are not needed, come on!
Your soul-transmigration
Is not needed, come on!
Come on, come on, come on!
காத்துல கரையிற
கனவுல தெரியுற
கண்ணாமூச்சி ஆட்டம்தான் எதுக்கு..
அல்லாவின் பெயரால் அழைக்கிறேன் உன்னை
உன்னோட ஆட்டத்த நிறுத்து
Dissolving in the air
Appearing in dreams
Why play this game of hide and seek?
In the name of Allah, I call upon you
Stop your games!
ஆ.....ஆஆ.....ஆஹ்....ஆ....ஆ.....
(Humming...)
உயிர் குடிக்க நீ நினைத்தால்
உயிர் அறுந்து நீ கிடப்பாய்
உன் பகையை நான் முடிப்பேன்
காலனுக்கு நீ துணையா
கடவுளுக்கு நீ பகையா
உன் கணக்கை நான் முடிப்பேன்
If you think of taking a life
You will lie dead with your own life severed
I will put an end to your enmity
Are you a companion to the God of Death?
Are you an enemy to God?
I will settle your account
எட்டித்திக்கும் ஓடினாலும்
உன்னை விட மாட்டேன்
எந்த ரூபம் எடுத்தாலும்
கண்ணை மூட மாட்டேன்
Even if you run in all eight directions
I will not let you go
Whatever form you take
I will not close my eyes
இன்னம் ஒரு ஜீவனை
நீ தொட விட மாட்டேன்
உன்னுடைய வன்மங்களை
ஜெயிக்க விட மாட்டேன்
Another innocent life
I will not let you touch
Your malicious vendettas
I will not let win
வலி கூடாது கூடாது நீ கேளு
பகை வாழாது வாழாது நீ பாரு
நீ எல்லைகள் மீறிட கூடாது
அது இயற்க்கைக்கு எப்போதும் ஆகாது
உன் பொல்லாத கோவத்தால்
இல்லாத சாபம் ஏன்டா
Pain should not increase, should not increase
Listen to this!
Enmity will not flourish, will not flourish
See for yourself!
You must not cross the boundaries
Nature never accepts that
Why bring a non-existent curse through your wicked wrath?
காத்துல கரையிற
கனவுல தெரியுற
கண்ணாமூச்சி ஆட்டம்தான் எதுக்கு..
அல்லாவின் பெயரால் அழைக்கிறேன் உன்னை
உன்னோட ஆட்டத்த நிறுத்து
Dissolving in the air
Appearing in dreams
Why play this game of hide and seek?
In the name of Allah, I call upon you
Stop your games!
இரவல் உடல் ஏன் உனக்கு
இறந்த பின்னும் வாழ்வெதற்க்கு
மறுமையிலும் நீ இல்லடா
வாள் எடுத்து வா வெளியே
போர் புரிவோம் வா தனியே
நேர் வழியில் நீ வெல்லடா
Why do you need a borrowed body?
Why live on even after dying?
You won't even exist in the afterlife
Draw your sword and step out
Come alone, let us fight
Try to win through righteous means
ராட்சசனும் ரக்ஷகனும்
ஒன்றும் இல்லை இங்கே
வஞ்சகம்தான் எப்போதும்
வாழ்ந்ததில்லை இங்கே
வேள்வி செய்ய எந்தன் முன்னே
வந்து நில்லு இங்கே
தீவினைக்கு தீவினைதான்
மண்டியிடு இங்கே
A demon and a savior
Are not the same here
Deceit has never
Thrived here
To perform the ritual sacrifice, before me
Come and stand here
Evil deeds beget evil ends
Kneel down here!
உன் மூர்க்கத்தை
முடிக்கத்தான் போறேன்டா
உன் மூச்சுக்கு தீ மூட்ட வாறேன்டா
என் கட்டுக்குள் கை கட்டி நீ வாடா
உன் கடைசி நாள் இன்றுதான் நீ வாடா
உன்னை நான் அழிக்கத்தான்
அவதாரம் எடுத்தேன்டா
I am going to put an end to your savagery
I am coming to set fire to your breath
Come bound under my command
Today is your final day, come on!
Only to destroy you
Have I taken this incarnation!
காத்துல கரையிற
கனவுல தெரியுற
கண்ணாமூச்சி ஆட்டம்தான் எதுக்கு..
அல்லாவின் பெயரால் அழைக்கிறேன் உன்னை
உன்னோட ஆட்டத்த நிறுத்து
Dissolving in the air
Appearing in dreams
Why play this game of hide and seek?

நீ கூடு விட்டு கூடு பாய

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This track is an intense, exorcism-style battle chant where the protagonist addresses a malignant spirit or demonic entity hiding in the shadows. Invoking divine power and righteousness (specifically calling upon the divine name of Allah), the protagonist commands the malevolent force to stop playing mind games, spirit-jumping, and using dark magic. The lyricist emphasizes that evil deeds never flourish, and boundary-crossing supernatural torment violates the laws of nature. The song builds into a fierce declaration of war, warning the evil spirit that its time is up and that the protagonist has taken a formidable stance specifically to vanquish it once and for all.
Writing craft
Poetic devices
Edhugai (Second letter rhyming)
“Kathula karaiyira / Kanavula theriyura”
The second consonant 'th' repeats in 'Kathula' and 'Kanavula', establishing rhythm.
Monaai (Initial letter rhyming)
“Kaalanukku nee thunaiya / Kadavulukku nee pagaiya”
Repetition of initial consonant sound 'K' in 'Kaalanukku' and 'Kadavulukku'.
Antithesis / Contrast
“Raatshasanum rakshakanum ondru illai inge”
Direct opposition between 'Raatshasan' (demon) and 'Rakshakan' (savior) to highlight moral duality.

Trivia
Composed by 'Thenisai Thendral' Deva for the horror-thriller film P2 (2024), this song combines traditional Islamic spiritual exorcism themes with heavy acoustic and percussion arrangements. Lyricist Snehan uses classical Tamil terminology such as 'Koodu vitu koodu paaya' (astral projection/spirit displacement) alongside divine chants.
