S. C. Krishnan’s ‘Paazhum Moodargal’ from the album ‘Jaya Gopi’ features lyrics by Kannadasan and music by Viswanathan – Ramamoorthy. The song opens by asking a child with only sorrow for a companion if wretched fools call them a sinful birth. This question sets up a direct confrontation with an unjust world.

Jaya Gopi’s Paazhum Moodargal Lyrics Translation
The lyrics ask why the child should grieve over the words of worthless sinners. It then states that on an earth where wicked people thrive, no one will recognize the child’s loving heart. This turn redirects the source of wrongdoing from the accused to the accusers.

The song serves as a defense of a child against a heartless society. It moves from questioning the child’s sorrow to making a final statement about the world. The conclusion is that the world has no heart, leaving an orphaned life unprotected and unseen.
