மாறிபோச்சோ என்ன ஆச்சோ
மாறிபோச்சோ என்ன ஆச்சோ
Has everything changed, what happened?
Has everything changed, what happened?
காலம் மாற எல்லாமே மாற
வானம் மாறவில்ல
என்ன சுத்தி எல்லாமே மாற
நானும் மாறல
As time changes, everything changes,
But the sky hasn't changed.
As everything around me changes,
I haven't changed.
காடு ரோடு வீடெல்லாம் வேற
காத்தில் மாத்தம் இல்ல
கண்ணு பாக்கும் எல்லாமே மாற
நீயும் மாறல
Roads and houses on the land are different,
But the wind feels no change.
As everything the eye sees changes,
You haven't changed.
நம் ஊரா நம் ஊரா
வேறூரா ஆயாச்சோ
கண்மூடி தொறந்து
எல்லாமே பறந்தே போயாச்சோ
Has everything changed completely?
[Chorus vocalization]
Male: Has everything changed completely?
[Chorus vocalization]
Has everything changed, what happened?
Has everything changed, what happened?
எல்லாமே மாறிபோயாச்சோ
குழு :
.................
எல்லாமே மாறிபோயாச்சோ
குழு :
...........................
மாறிப்போச்சோ என்ன ஆச்சோ
மாறிப்போச்சோ என்ன ஆச்சோ
Saying that we are missing,
Saying that we are searching,
Where did we lose
Our childhood? We lost it!
ஆண் ராப் :
.........................
One-sided romantic love,
Has many stories in town;
But here, one-sided affection,
We felt it, we felt it!
காணவில்லை நாம் என்று
தேடி செல்கிறோம் இன்று
பாலியத்தை நாம் எங்கே
தொலைத்தோம் தொலைத்தோம்
You altered yesterday, today, and tomorrow;
Today I am not myself anymore.
You altered the perception of time;
There is no joy in anything.
காதல் அது ஒரு தலையாய்
ஊரில் உண்டு கதை கதையாய்
பாசம் இங்கு ஒரு தலையாய்
உணர்ந்தோம் உணர்ந்தோம்
Has everything changed completely?
[Chorus vocalization]
Male: Has everything changed completely?
[Chorus vocalization]
Has everything changed, what happened?
Has everything changed, what happened?
வேர்கள் மேலே வந்ததாலே
கிளைகள் மண்ணுள் போவதுண்டோ
மேகம் கீழே வந்ததாலே
மழை தான் மேலே பாய்வதுண்டோ
Has it changed? Has it changed?
How do I change it back?
These wounds deep inside,
How do I heal them?
நேற்று இன்று நாளையை மாற்றினாய்
நான் இன்று நானும் இல்லை
காலத்தின் காய்ச்சலை மாற்றினாய்
ஏதும் இன்பம் இல்லை
A path lies ahead of me,
A path lies behind me,
Where will my heart go, it asks.
Has it changed... has it changed...
எல்லாமே மாறிபோயாச்சோ
குழு :
..................
எல்லாமே மாறிபோயாச்சோ

மாறிபோச்சோ என்ன ஆச்சோ
மாறிபோச்சோ என்ன ஆச்சோ
ஆண் ராப் :
மாறிபோச்சோ
மாறிபோச்சோ
எப்படி மாற்று
இன்னுக்குள்ள காயங்களே
எப்படி ஆற்று
என் முன்னே ஓர் வழியில்
பின்னே ஓர் வழி
எங்கு போகும் என் மனம் என்றது
மாறிபோச்சோ மாறிபோச்சோ

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
Maaripocho from Kanam (2022) is a poignant reflection on time travel, personal loss, and the permanence of emotional bonds. The protagonist contemplates how physical surroundings, time, and relationships evolve over the years, while core feelings of grief, love, and identity remain frozen or deeply wounded. The song highlights the tragedy of losing one's childhood and suffering one-sided affection despite altering time itself.
