We have seen a song ‘kANada Urali nI kuLitiruve’ (uploaded on 01-08-2015) from the movie Gandhinagara, where-in Raj kumar in jail and SPB sings the song. Very few songs are sung by SPB for Raj kumar. This song also sung by SPB where-in Raj kumar is in jail scene. Sorrowful song penned by Shri Sorat Ashwat and music by Rajan-Nagendra. Song describes about the almighty’s actions on human beings.

Lyric follows:

chitra: svayaMvara 1973
gAyana: es pi bAlasubramaNyaM
saMgIta: rAjan-nAgeMdra
sAhitya: sOraT ashvath

I jagavoMdu nyAyAlaya
idara adhikAri avanEnayya
nyAyava maresuva
anyAyava meresuva /I jagavoMdu/

vAtsalya mamateya tAne ittu
olaviMda naguvAga tAne kittu
edeyanE.. tuMbuvA..
katheyanE naDesuvA.. /I jagavoMdu/

bALalli AseyeMba dIpaviTTu
ChalaveMba gALiyalli Ara biTTu
aLisuvA nagisuvA
ATavA ADuvA / I jagavoMdu/

mAna abhimAna kanikarake beleyillave
idake apamAna kaNNIre parihArave
siritanA baDatanA
bhEdavA tOruvA.. /I jagavoMdu/

Meaning of the song:

This world (I jagavoMdu) itself is a like court (nyAyAlaya)
and HE (avanEnayya) is the Magistrate (adhikAri).
In this court justice (nyAyava) will be kept hide (maresuva),
instead injustice (anyAyava) will be highlighted (meresuva).

HE himself will provide (tAne ittu) love (mamateya) and affection (vAtslya)
Will be taken away by HIM (tAne kittu)
when we are very happy (olaviMda naguvAga)
To fill in (tuMbuvA) the heart (edeyanE)
drag (naDesuva) on the story (katheyanE)

Light a lamp (dIpaviTTu) of desire (AseyeMba) in the life (bALalli)
Made to light-off (Ara biTTu) with the breeze (gALiyalli) of stubborn-ness (ChalaveMba)
Made to cry (aLisuvA) and laugh (nagisuvA)
Will be playing (ADuvA) this play (ATavA)

Honour (mAna), self-respect (abhimAna),
sympathy (kanikarake) have no values (bele illave)
Insult (apamAna), tears (kaNNire) are the remedy (parihArave) for this (idake)?
Richness (siritanA) Poverty (baDatanA)
Showing (tOruvA) dissimilarity (bhEdavA)
