பச்சை நீளம் சிவப்பு ஆட்டம்
செந்நிறம் அது ஏதோ காட்டும்
புதிரானது புரியும் வரைக்கும்
தொடரும் உன் சோதனை ஓட்டம்
The dance of green, blue, and red,
The red color indicates something mystery,
Until the puzzle is understood,
Your trial run will continue.
என் பதித்த காகிதம் காட்டும்
யார் எவரன இடு உன் நோட்டம்
ஒளி இன்றி விழிகள் சுரங்கம்
வழியெல்ல்லாம் இருளே இருந்தும்
The printed paper will show,
Fix your gaze to see who is who.
Eyes narrow in the absence of light,
Even though the entire path is dark,
இருட்டுக்குள் வெளிச்சம் இருக்கும்
இங்கும் அங்கும் விடைகள் திறக்கும்
புகைதானே நெருப்பின் விளக்கம்
புல்லும் பூண்டும் புதையல் மறைக்கும்
There will be light inside darkness,
Answers will unlock here and there.
Smoke itself is the evidence of fire,
Grass and weeds can hide a hidden treasure,
குறுகடுகும் பரிதி மறைக்கும்
எல்லாமே உன் கண் முன் கிடக்கும்
உன் குருதி மரபில் துடிக்கும்
காக்கி செல்கள் எதையும் பிடிக்கும்
Even a small mustard seed can obscure the sun,
Everything will be found right before your eyes.
Pulsing in your bloodline,
Khaki cells will catch anything.

சிறு கல்லும் வாயில் உடைக்கும்
வளையா திரும்பை அழலும் வளைக்கும்
தடமெங்கும் துப்பு கிடைக்கும்
பற்றி கொண்டால் மறலி விலகும்
Even a small stone breaks inside the mouth,
Fire can bend even an unbending stick,
Clues will be found all along the track,
If caught, death itself will move away.
குற்றங்கள் தடையம் தெளிக்கும்
குட்டை கலக்கி மச்சம் சிரிக்கும்
உன் குருதி மரபில் துடிக்கும்
காக்கி செல்கள் எதையும் பிடிக்கும்
Crimes will leave clear evidence behind,
Muddying the waters makes the fish smile,
Pulsing in your bloodline,
Khaki cells will catch anything.

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
The song serves as an energetic themesong centered on intense investigation, detective instincts, and duty. It portrays the sharp intellect of a police officer whose duty ('Khaki cells') runs deep within his bloodline. The lyrics emphasize that no matter how obscured a crime scene or mystery may seem—like treasure hidden under weeds or the sun blocked by a tiny seed—perseverance and observation will eventually uncover the hidden truth and bring light to darkness.
