பெண்: சின்னச் சின்னத் தூரல் வந்து நெஞ்சுக்குள்ளே முத்தமிடும் மாயம் மாயம் என்ன என்ன சொல்லிக்கொடுடா கத்தியின்றி ரத்தமின்றி காதல் வந்து யுத்தமிடும் காயம் காயம் இன்பமென்று சொல்லிக்கொடுடா
The title itself, "Oru Murai Vettai," translates to "Once a hunt." This is not accidental. The lyrics abandon the conventional language of romance (heart, soul, beauty) and replace it with the lexicon of a forest chase. Words like vettai (hunt), kootam (group/army), pattai (striped tiger skin), and kattai (log/weapon) dominate the song. This metaphor serves a dual purpose. First, it aligns with the film’s rural backdrop, where hunting metaphors are common in folklore. Second, it portrays the male protagonist's love not as passive admiration but as an active, aggressive pursuit. The line "Kootathula pattai adichu vachu kattai" (Placing the striped skin on the wood after hunting in a group) suggests a trophy mentality, turning the beloved into a prized capture.

S. built a haunting, minimalist folk backdrop (using the thavil and urumi drum) that allows the words to breathe.
