Maaripocho Lyrics Meaning Jakes Bejoy | Karthi | Kanam
Madhan Karky uses simple yet powerful imagery to talk about the passage of time. The lyricist mentions forests, roads, and houses changing, while the scent of the wind remains the same. The song asks, ‘Has everything changed?’, reflecting on how love and childhood memories can feel lost in a shifting world.
Maripocho Enna AchoHas it changed? What’s happened?
Maripocho Enna AchoHas it changed? What’s happened?
Kalam Mara Ellame MaraAs time changes, everything else changes too,
Vanam MaravillaBut the sky hasn’t changed at all.
Enna Suthi Ellame MaraEverything around me is changing,
Nanum MaralaBut I haven’t changed.
Kadil Roadu Veedellam VeraThe forests, roads, and houses are all different now,
Kathil Matham IllaBut the wind’s scent hasn’t changed.
Kannu Pakkum Ellame MaraEverything my eyes see is changing,
Neeyum MaralaBut you haven’t changed.
All Nam Oora Nam OoraIs this our town? Our town?
Veroora AyachoHas it turned into a different place?
Kanmoodi ThoranthuJust by closing and opening my eyes,
Ellame Paranthe PoyachoHas everything just flown away?
Ellame MaripoyachoHas everything changed?
Ellame MaripoyachoHas everything changed?
Maripocho Enna AchoHas it changed? What’s happened?
Maripocho Enna AchoHas it changed? What’s happened?
Kanavillai Nam EndruThinking that we aren’t a dream,
Thedi Chelgirom EndruThinking that we’re still searching,
Baliyathai Nam EngeWhere did we lose
Tholaithom TholaithomOur childhood? We’ve lost it.
Kadhal Adhu Oru ThalaiyaiThat love is one-sided,
Ooril Undu Kadhai KadhaiyaiThere are stories after stories in this town.
Pasam Ingu Oru ThalaiyaiAffection here is one-sided,
Unarnthom UnarnthomWe’ve felt it, we’ve felt it.
All Vervai Mele VanthathaleJust because the roots come to the surface,
Kilaigal Mannul PovathundoDo the branches ever go into the ground?
Megam Keezhe VanthathaleJust because the clouds come down,
Mazhai Dhan Mele PaivathundoDoes the rain ever spray upwards?
Netru Indru Nalaiyai MatrinaiYou’ve changed yesterday, today, and tomorrow,
Nan Indru Nanum IllaiI’m not even myself today.
Kalathin Kazhchalai MathinaiYou’ve changed the scenes of time,
Edhum Inbam IllaiThere’s no joy in anything anymore.
Ellame MaripoyachoHas everything changed?
Ellame MaripoyachoHas everything changed?
Maripocho Enna AchoHas it changed? What’s happened?
Maripocho Enna AchoHas it changed? What’s happened?
Maripocho MaripochoHas it changed? Has it changed?
Eppadi MatruHow do I change it back?
Innukkulla KayangaleThese wounds deep inside of me,
Eppadi AtruHow do I heal them?
En Munne Oar VazhiyilIn front of me, there’s one path,
Pinne Oar VazhiAnd another path behind me.
Engu Pogum En Manam EndrathuMy heart asked where it’s going,
Maripocho MaripochoHas it changed? Has it changed?
The translation of ‘Maaripocho’ lyrics examines the tension between change and constancy. Featuring Karthi and Jakes Bejoy, the track from ‘Kanam’ offers a heartfelt meditation on memories and the desire to reclaim what’s lost.
