“Maravikale,” hauntingly beautiful music from the Malayalam film “Bougainvillea,” is a moving examination of memory, loss, and the passing of time. The title translates from Malayalam to English as “Forget-me-nots,” and the lyrics, written by Rafeeq Ahammed, explore themes of nostalgia, the fleeting nature of beauty, and the eternal power of love. Jyothirmayi delivers a mesmerizing performance on this evocative composition, which features Madhuvanthi Narayan’s lyrical vocals.
“Maravikale” in Malayalam is a sorrowful contemplation on the transitory nature of time and the eternal force of love, according to the poet. Rafeeq Ahmed’s Malayalam lyrics tell a melancholy story of reminiscence and desire. The chorus’s verse, “Maravikale parayoo…kadalaasupoo ithalilirikkum smaranakalaam mizhineerthumpikal,” reads, “Oh Oblivion, speak to me. Will the dragonflies of my sorrow-laden memories find rest upon the petals of bougainvillea?” This sentence wonderfully expresses the song’s central theme of cherishing memories and clinging on to the past.

Maravikale Parayu
Oh Oblivion, speak to me.
Kadalaasu Poo Ithalilirikkumo, Smaranakalaam Mizhineerthumbikal
Will the dragonflies of my sorrow-laden memories find rest upon the petals of bougainvillea?
Murivukale Parayuu Eeran Nila Malardeepa Naalangal
Nizhalukalil Ninnu Verpidumo
O wounds, answer me. Will the flames gleaming in moonlight sever themselves from their shadows?
Perariyaan Parathukayaanee Poovukal Than Ithalukalil
I search for my name in the petals of these flowers.
Ariya Lipiyaay Maarunnu Lokam
The world transforms into an unknown scripture.
Palathaay Chithari Mayunnu Roopam
The silhouette crumbles, dissolving into nothingness.
Churul Neerunnu Marulokamathilo Thiriyaa Varikal
As the pages turn to another realm, the lines grow cryptic.

Parayaathakale Paayunnu Neram
Time escapes without a whisper.
Mazha Thorunnu Theliyunnu Thaliril Veyilin Sirakal
As the rain subsides, leaves glow in streams of sunlight.
