Marco’s Marpapa Malayalam Lyrics English Translation
Saeed Abbas, the poet, writes, ‘If you fall in his way, you’ll turn to ash,’ describing a literal burn. BABY JEAN, the performer, sings, ‘Don’t stand there trying to fight,’ urging listeners to move out of the way.
Adangaatha sooryanAn unyielding sun.
Athirillaa kaikalHands that know no limits.
Kalithuppum kanmunnilSpitting fury right before your eyes.
Poypettaa nee chaambalIf you fall in his way, you’ll turn to ash.
Adaradaan nikkandaDon’t stand there trying to fight.
Alambaakaan nokkandaDon’t try to cause a scene.
Edanjalon tharum ninteIf he’s provoked, he’ll serve you,
Pathinaarin uppukannjiyour ‘sixteenth-day funeral gruel’.
Kurbana koodanda oan ninte marppapaYou don’t need a mass; he’s your Pope.
Otthaashael etthanda nin anthyakoodhaashaDon’t come for prayers or your ‘final sacrament’.
Aparaadham thaangukilla paapam porukkukillaHe won’t tolerate insults, and he won’t forgive sins.
Kshamayenna vaakkivante kitthaabhil illyeillaThe word “forgiveness” isn’t in his ‘holy book’.
Valland korkkandaDon’t clash with him too much.
Ninte vaaythaalam othandaDon’t talk big with your rhythmic words.
Vazhi thadayaano porandaDon’t come here to block his path.
Haram perappukal edukkandaDon’t try any ‘forbidden’ tricks.
Thani pakarppaakkan nokkandaDon’t try to copy him exactly.
Ithu minukkanda thekkandaThere’s no need to polish or scrub this.
Ini pinvaathil muttandaDon’t knock on the back door anymore.
Pinkutthu kutthandaDon’t stab him in the back.
Vedakkaakaan nikkandaDon’t try to play dirty.
Oan ninte marppapaHe’s your Pope.

Por veri kondu chirikkana bhranthuA madness that laughs with a hunger for war.
Nadukadalilu bharikkana sraavuA shark that rules the deep sea.
Kodumkaattaalum kettatha pokkA presence that even a storm can’t extinguish.
Chudum irumbinte kaanakkulla mekkuA strength like the weight of glowing hot iron.
Nee mekkittu kaeralle maaruDon’t try to cross him; just get out of the way.
Kodumsharamvitta tharakkana nokkA gaze that pierces like a sharp arrow.
Athu kuthandu kollaand nokkWatch out so it doesn’t stab or kill you.
