| Maan puli vettai aada vaa | Come, let us hunt the deer and tiger |
| Puthu kaatai theda naan | As I search for a new forest |
| Oru saattai veesa yaar | Who is there to crack a whip? |
| Vazhi kettu povaar yaaro | Someone will lose their way and go away |
| Female | |
| Yen odinai yen thedinaai | Why did you run? Why did you search? |
| Nee seidha paavangal thee moottuthaa | Do the sins you committed kindle a fire? |

மான் புலி வேட்டை ஆட வா
புது காட்டை தேட நான்
ஒரு சாட்டை வீச யார்
வழி கேட்டு போவார் யாரோ
Come, let us hunt the deer and tiger
As I search for a new forest
Who is there to crack a whip?
Someone will lose their way and go away
ஏன் ஓடினாய் ஏன்தேடினாய்
நீ செய்த பாவங்கள் தீ மூட்டுதா
போராடுதான் ஏன் தோற்கிறாய்
நீ செய்த துரோங்கங்கள் ஏமாற்றுதா
Why did you run? Why did you search?
Do the sins you committed kindle a fire?
Why do you lose in this battle?
Do the betrayals you committed lead to disappointment?
பாதை என்றும் ஓயாதிங்கே
போகும் தூரம் நீ போவாய்
கானாத யோகம் என்ன
பாவம் என்ன நீ காண்பாய்
The path never rests here
You will go as far as the distance goes
What is this unseen fortune?
What sin will you witness?
சரியென்ன தவறும் என்ன
அறிந்தால் என்ன மறந்தால் என்ன
நீ செய்த வினைகள் இங்கே
விதையாய் எரித்து எறிகிறதே
What is right and what is wrong?
What if it burns, what if it is forgotten?
The deeds you committed here
Are burning away like seeds in a fire
நடக்குது மயங்கள் வெடிக்குது நாளங்கள்
மனதினில் பூகம்பம் வருதே
எரியுது காயங்கள் மறையுது நியாயங்கள்
பதிலினை நாளும் தேடி தேடி
Illusions occur, veins burst
An earthquake arises in the heart..
Wounds burn, justice vanishes
Searching day after day for an answer
பொய் பிழையாக மாற
தேடும் பாதை போக மாயம்
வேகம் கூடி போக மோதும்
தேடல்கள் வீணோ வீணோ
As a lie turns into a flaw
The sought path is a mystical illusion
As speed increases, it collides while moving forward
Are these searches in vain, in vain?
பாதை என்றும் ஓயாதிங்கே
போகும் தூரம் நீ போவாய்
கானாத யோகம் என்ன
பாவம் என்ன நீ காண்பாய்
The path never rests here
You will go as far as the distance goes
What is this unseen fortune?
What sin will you witness?
சரியென்ன தவறும் என்ன
அறிந்தால் என்ன மறந்தால் என்ன
நீ செய்த வினைகள் இங்கே
விதையாய் எரித்து எறிகிறதே
What is right and what is wrong?
What if it is known, what if it is forgotten?
The deeds you committed here
Are burning away like seeds in a fire
காதலோடு தீயும் ஏற
தேகம் எங்கும் வேகுதே
ஓடி ஓடி போகும் போதும்
பாதம் நோகுதே
As fire rises up along the feet
The entire body scorches
Even while running continuously
The feet ache
மீதி யாவும் வீணுமாக
பேதை வாழ்வு ஆனதே
நீந்தி போக நீரை தேட
தாகம் ஆனதே
As everything remaining becomes futile
Life has turned into a foolish existence
Searching for water to swim across
Thirst consumes everything
மாறாமலே நிலைக்குதே ஆரா ரணம்
கானமலே நீ கோழையாக யார் தான்
அவனோ புதிர் ஆனானோ
An unhealing wound remains unchanged
Without showing yourself, who are you to be a coward?
Has he become a mystery/puzzle?
துரத்திட ஓடுகிறோம்
வெறுப்பினில் வாடுகிறோம்
பயமது உயிரினிலே வருதே
We run to chase
We wither away in hatred
Fear creeps into the soul
தொடருது தேடல்கள்
பெருகுது தூரங்கள்..
தொலைவுகள் கூடி போக போக
யார் பாலியாக ஆவார்
Searches continue
Distances multiply
As the distance keeps increasing
Who will become the victim?
பாதை மாறி மாறி போக
தீமை தேடி தேடி கூட
வேடன் தான் யாரோ யாரோ
As the path keeps changing continuously
Even as evil gathers while searching
Who is the hunter, who is it?
புதிர் ஆனானோ புதிர் ஆனானோ
புதிர் ஆனானோ புதிர் ஆனானோ
புதிர் ஆனானோ புதிர் ஆனானோ
புதிர் ஆனானோ புதிர் ஆனானோ….

Has he become a puzzle? Has he become a puzzle?
Has he become a puzzle? Has he become a puzzle?

This intense and dark track from 'Akku' explores themes of guilt, karma, relentless pursuit, and existential conflict. The lyrics depict a protagonist trapped in a metaphorical forest of their own past misdeeds, betrayals, and sins, where every action comes back as a burning punishment. The imagery of hunting, scorching fire, and unending paths highlights a chaotic state of mind driven by fear and urgency.
