காகங்கள் பறந்தாலும்
மேகங்கள் மிதந்தாலும்
ஆகாயம் அழுக்கு ஆகாமல் இருக்கு
மாறாது எந்நாளும் ஓஓஓஹ்
Even if crows fly,
Even if clouds float,
The sky remains unsoiled.
It will never change forever, ooooho!
உண்மைக்கு யாரும் பூசட்டும் சாயம்
ஒன்றுக்கு நூறாய் பேசட்டும் ஊரும்
Let anyone paint over
The truth with fake colors,
Let the town speak
A hundred words for one;
காகங்கள் பறந்தாலும்
மேகங்கள் மிதந்தாலும்
ஆகாயம் அழுக்கு ஆகாமல் இருக்கு
மாறாது எந்நாளும் ஓஓஓஹ்…
Even if crows fly,
Even if clouds float,
The sky remains unsoiled.
It will never change forever..
விந்தை இதுதான் தந்தைக்கு எதிரே
வழக்காட மகள் துணிந்தாள்
வைரக்கல் இன்று தப்புக்கள் செய்து
உப்புக்கல் ஆனது என்றாள்
(Humming….)
யார் மீது குற்றங்கள் சொல்ல
இது விதியன்றி வேறொன்றும் அல்ல
தர்மங்கள் இங்கே மர்மங்களானால்
தெய்வத்தை கூட தண்டிக்க நேரும்
What a wonder this is,
Against her own father,
A daughter dared to litigate!
If diamonds today commit mistakes
And turn into mere salt,
காகங்கள் பறந்தாலும்
மேகங்கள் மிதந்தாலும்
ஆகாயம் அழுக்கு ஆகாமல் இருக்கு
மாறாது எந்நாளும் ஓஓஓஹ்
Upon whom
Can we lay the blame?
This is nothing else
But fate itself.
சீதை நெஞ்சில் ஸ்ரீராமன் மீது
சந்தேகம் கிடையாது
சாயாது இமயம் புயல் வீசும் சமயம்
என்றெண்ணி வாழ்ந்திடும் மாது
If righteousness here
Becomes a mystery,
Even God himself
May have to be punished!
ஆனாலும் கண்ணீரில் ஆடும் உள்ளம்
அலை பாய்ந்து நிலையின்றி ஓடும் ஓஓ
நட்புக்கு கூட கற்பிங்கு உண்டு
நிறம் மாறி போச்சு அதுதானே இன்று
Even if crows fly,
Even if clouds float,
The sky remains unsoiled.
It will never change forever..
சட்டம் சாட்சி சந்தர்ப்பம் பார்த்து
மன்றங்கள் தீர்ப்பெழுதும்
வாய் வார்த்தை எல்லாம்
கைக்கோர்த்து நின்றால்
உண்மைகள் ஊமைகள் ஆகும்
In Sita's heart, regarding Lord Rama,
There is no doubt.
The Himalayas do not lean
Even when a storm blows,
So lives this steadfast woman.
நேசங்கள் பாசங்கள் சேரும்
நாலு நெஞ்சத்தில் துன்பத்தின் பாரம்
நூல் கொண்டு ஆடும் பொம்மைகள் போலே
நூல் மட்டும் தேவன் கைகளின் மேலே
Yet, bathing in tears,
Her mind fluctuates like waves,
Running around without stability, oo!
காகங்கள் பறந்தாலும் மேகங்கள் மிதந்தாலும்
ஆகாயம் அழுக்கு ஆகாமல் இருக்கு
அதுபோல விளங்கட்டுமே இங்கே
நியாயங்கள் ஜெயிக்கட்டுமே
Even for friendship,
Integrity exists here.
Its color has changed today,
Has it not?
இங்கே நியாயங்கள் ஜெயிக்கட்டுமே
இங்கே நியாயங்கள் ஜெயிக்கட்டுமே
இங்கே நியாயங்கள் ஜெயிக்கட்டுமே
Considering law, testimony,
And circumstances,
The court delivers its verdict.
If all spoken words
Join hands together,
Truths become mute!
Affection and love gather,
A burden of sorrow in four hearts.
Like puppets that
Dance with strings attached,
The controlling string alone
Lies in God's hands.
Even if crows fly,
Even if clouds float,
The sky remains unsoiled.
May it be understood just like that,
May justice prevail here!
May justice prevail here!
May justice prevail here!
Kakangal parandhaalum
Even if crows fly,
Megangal midhandhaalum
Even if clouds float,
Aagayam azhuku aagamal irukku
The sky remains unsoiled.
Maaradhu ennaalum ooooho
It will never change forever, ooooho!
Unmaikku yaarum
Let anyone paint over
Poosattum saayam
The truth with fake colors,
Ondrukku nooraai
Let the town speak
Pesattum oorum
A hundred words for one;
Kakangal parandhaalum
Even if crows fly,
Megangal midhandhaalum
Even if clouds float,
Aagayam azhuku aagamal irukku
The sky remains unsoiled.
Maaradhu ennaalum ..
It will never change forever..

Vindhai idhu thaan
What a wonder this is,
Thandhaikku edhirae
Against her own father,
Vazhakkaada magal thunindhaal
A daughter dared to litigate!
Vairakal indru thappugal seidhu
If diamonds today commit mistakes
Uppukal aanadhu endraal
And turn into mere salt,
Yaar meedhu
Upon whom
Kuttrangal solla
Can we lay the blame?
Idhu vidhiyandri
This is nothing else
Ver ondrum alla
But fate itself.
Dharmangal ingae
If righteousness here
Marmangal aanaal
Becomes a mystery,
Deivathai koodi
Even God himself
Thandikka naerum
May have to be punished!

Megangal midhandhaalum

Seedhai nenjil sreeraman meedhu
In Sita's heart, regarding Lord Rama,
Sandhegam kidiyadhu
There is no doubt.
Saayadhu imayam
The Himalayas do not lean
Puyal veesum samayam
Even when a storm blows,
Endrenni vaazhndhidum maadhu
So lives this steadfast woman.
Aanaalum kanneeril aadum
Yet, bathing in tears,
Ullam alai paaindhu
Her mind fluctuates like waves,
Nilaiyindri oodum oo
Running around without stability, oo!
Natpukku kooda
Even for friendship,
Karppingu undu
Integrity exists here.
Niram maari pochu
Its color has changed today,
Adhu dhanae indru
Has it not?
Sattam saatchi
Considering law, testimony,
Sandharppam parthu
And circumstances,
Mandrangal theerpeluthum
The court delivers its verdict.
Vaai varthai ellaam
If all spoken words
Kaikorthu nindraal
Join hands together,
Unmaigal oomaigal aagum
Truths become mute!
Nesangal paasangal saerum
Affection and love gather,
Naalu nenjathil thunbathin baaram
A burden of sorrow in four hearts.
Nool kondu aadum
Like puppets that
Bommaigal polae
Dance with strings attached,
Nool mattum
The controlling string alone
Devan kaigalin melae
Lies in God's hands.
Kakangal parandhaalum
Even if crows fly,
Megangal midhandhaalum
Even if clouds float,
Aagayam azhuku aagamal irukku
The sky remains unsoiled.
Adhu pola vilangattumae
May it be understood just like that,
Ingae nyaayangal jeyikattumae
May justice prevail here!
Ingae nyaayangal jeyikattumae
May justice prevail here!
Ingae nyaayangal jeyikattumae
May justice prevail here!
Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
Nyayangal Jeyikkattum is a deeply philosophical song reflecting on truth, justice, destiny, and moral integrity during emotional courtroom and interpersonal conflicts. Using the metaphor of the sky remaining stainless despite flying crows or passing clouds, the song emphasizes that ultimate truth cannot be tarnished by falsehoods. It captures a painful dispute where a daughter confronts her father legally, attributing such tragic turns to fate while questioning how righteousness can become obscured in legal proceedings. Ultimately, it portrays humans as puppets in the hands of God, expressing a heartfelt prayer for justice to triumph over deceit.
