Maalokam Maarunne Lyrics Translation – Panchavalsara Padhathi Soundtrack
Engandiyoor Chandrasekharan writes about a world losing authenticity. Illusions fill the mind as false masks take root. Job Kurian asks whether the path forward is truth or illusion.
Maalokam MaarunneThe world’s changing,
Marimaayangal ManamettunneIllusions are filling up the mind,
Nerellam MaayunneEvery truth is fading away,
Poykkolangal KaaverunneFalse masks are taking root.
Maalokam MaarunneThe world’s changing,
Marimaayangal ManamettunneIllusions are filling up the mind,
Nerellam MaayunneEvery truth is fading away,
Poykkolangal KaaverunneFalse masks are taking root.
Pularum PonkanavilIn the dawning golden dream,
Kaatthathellam PoothorungeEverything once sheltered has bloomed and prepared,
Durayaay KazhukaringuGreedily, the vultures have descended,
Paari VannathoDid they come flying in?
Urayum Komarangalum Naadirangi NaatharaayiPossessed ‘oracles’ have descended to the land and become its masters,
Uthirum Ponpanangal KilukilungaveWhile the falling golden coins keep on jingling.
Maalokam MaarunneThe world’s changing,
Marimaayangal ManamettunneIllusions are filling up the mind,
Nerellam MaayunneEvery truth is fading away,
Poykkolangal KaaverunneFalse masks are taking root.

Malaraay Peyyana KaalamIt’s a time that rains down like flowers,
Varamaay Athana NaaloOr is it the day a blessing arrives?
Ithu Nervazhiyo MaayaavazhiyoIs this the path of truth or just an illusion?
Kaanan Pokana PooramIt’s the grand ‘festival’ we’re about to witness,
Kanavaay Neerana NeramIt’s the moment that melts away like a dream,
Oru Thumazhaye Poru MazhayeOh pure drizzle, come along with the rain,
Ee Malayaake Ee MedakeTo this entire mountain and these meadows,
Poonthalirekaan VaaCome and bring the flowers to bloom,
Ee Maruvaake Ponniravode Maduranilaave VarumoWill the sweet moonlight come to this dry land with a golden night?
Enniniyo EnniniyoWhen will it be, when will it be?
