The sin went one way, the blame another,
That is how it went, my golden peacock!
The law stood on one side, the crime on another,
That is the honest truth.
The sin went one way, the blame another,
That is how it went, my golden peacock!
The law stood on one side, the crime on another,
That is the honest truth.
If you hear that story,
Your heart will not be able to bear it.
And if I do not tell it,
My heart will find no sleep.
The sin on one side...
The sin went one way, the blame another,
That is how it went, my golden peacock!
The law stood on one side, the crime on another,
That is the honest truth.
In the village of Puliyampatti,
Late in the evening after dusk,
A gang of men in white dhotis
Came asking for a feast.
In the village of Puliyampatti,
Late in the evening after dusk,
A gang of men in white dhotis
Came asking for a feast.
The woman who served them a meal,
They made a feast of her!
Watching that happen, her daughter's heart
Burned fiercely deep inside!
Back then, she witnessed that crime,
And today, she settled the score.
An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth,
She showed the fierce rage of Kannagi (the legendary woman of righteous wrath)!

That is how it went, my golden peacock!
The law stood on one side, the crime on another,
That is the honest truth.
I brought her into my house,
I served her food in a bowl,
So that no dishonor would touch her,
I taught and raised her with care.
I brought her into my house,
I served her food in a bowl,
So that no dishonor would touch her,
I taught and raised her with care.
If you water a neem tree,
It gives good shade in the heat.
If you feed milk to a snake,
You have to watch your step.
What they did to her was not just,
And for the revenge she took, there is no sin.
She delivered the justice that the laws failed to give,
There is no wrong in praising her.
She delivered the justice that the laws failed to give,
There is no wrong in praising her.
