Kochu Keralam Lyrics Translation – Vaazha 2 Soundtrack
The lyrics ask, ‘What’s even happening in this tiny Kerala of ours?’ The band mentions a neighbor who acts like a saint but hides ‘wicked desires’. They also describe a sister who smiles warmly but spreads gossip behind their back.
Enthokke aada ee kochu Keralathil nadakkanathuWhat’s even happening in this tiny Kerala of ours?
Ente ponnu ayalvaasi maamaaMy dear neighbor uncle,
Enthinu tharunnu traumawhy are you giving me such trauma?
Chuttillum enthora dramaThere’s just so much drama all around.
Ithingane poyal comaIf things keep going like this, I’ll end up in a coma.
Naattile Dalai LamaYou act like the town’s very own Dalai Lama,
Nightilu annan wrongabut at night, brother, you’re clearly in the wrong.
Ullil thulumbana kamaWith ‘wicked desires’ overflowing inside you,
Pakshe paadum Hare Ramayet you’ll still chant ‘Hare Rama’ out loud.
Enthokke aada ee kochu Keralathil nadakkanathuWhat’s even happening in this tiny Kerala of ours?
Munnil punchiri thoovana chechiSister, you’ve got a smile for me whenever we meet,
Pinnil enthinu eshani kaachibut why do you stir up gossip behind my back?
Paradhooshanam parathana poochiYou’re like a pest spreading rumors everywhere,
Ella veettilum paari paadisinging your tales in every single house.
Chechi enthinu ingane kaattiWhy did you act this way, sister,
Naattilum veettilum aattionly to be driven out by your family and neighbors?
Avarake kettathu paathiThey only ever heard half of the truth,
Baaki kaiyinnu ittangu paadiand just made up the rest of the story.
Enthokke aada ee kochu Keralathil nadakkanathuWhat’s even happening in this tiny Kerala of ours?
Thaadi vechaal theevra vyaadhiIf you grow a beard, they treat you like a ‘dangerous threat’.
Andanum mandanum aadhiEvery random person is filled with some kind of worry,
Swayam chinthakaro avarathiwhile self-styled ‘intellectuals’ are in a frenzy.
Nahi hoga thera shaadiYour wedding is never going to happen,
Vaagdaanam thattikkoottiwith all those empty promises you’ve patched together.
Kaatti kootti partyYou’ve put on a big show with your party,
Naattil pe pidichu odana pattirunning like a rabid dog through the streets.
Pavam pavakale vazhikaattiLeading poor, innocent souls down the wrong path.
Enthokke aada ee kochu Keralathil nadakkanathuWhat’s even happening in this tiny Kerala of ours?
