ஹே சீதா
உயிர் நுழைய வாசல் தா
ஹே சீதா
உன்னில் வசிக்க வாய்ப்பை தா
So that we never separate,
in a way, I want to interlock
your hand tightly with mine.
என்றும் பிரிந்திடா வண்ணம்
உந்தன் கையை இறுக்கியே கோர்க்க தா
A love that the world has never known,
such a love I shall give to you;
give me your heart to fill it completely.
பூமி அறிந்திடா காதல் ஒன்றை தருவேன்
நிரப்ப உன் நெஞ்சம் தா
தனிமையில் உன்னை நான் நீங்காத
உரிமை வேண்டும் தா
In your moments of loneliness,
to never leave your side,
grant me that rightful privilege.
ஹே ராமா
எனை பிரிய வேண்டாமா
ஹே ராமா
நிழல் அறிய வேண்டாமா
Oh Rama,
shouldn't you promise never to part from me?
Oh Rama,
shouldn't even your shadow know this closeness?
நாளை நிகழ்ந்திடும் காட்சி ஒன்றை
இன்றே எழுதுகோல் தீட்டுமா
நேற்றே எழுதிய பாடல் ஒன்றை
காலம் நாளையும் மீட்டுமா
A scene that is destined to happen tomorrow,
can the pen sketch it today itself?
A song that was written yesterday,
will time play its melody tomorrow as well?
ரகசிய நெருப்பு ஒன்றென்னுள்ளே
இருக்குமா சும்மா
A secret fire burning deep within me,
will it just remain idle?
ஹே சீதா
இந்த திரிக்கி தீயை தா
ஹே ராமா
எனை பிரிய வேண்டாமா
Oh Sita,
give fire to this wick!
Oh Rama,
shouldn't you promise never to part from me?
கண்களை கண்கள் கொய்கையில்
நெஞ்சில் வானவில் மான்களா
வார்த்தைகள் மாயம் செய்கையில்
வானில் தூரிகை மீன்களா
When eyes lock into eyes,
does a rainbow bloom softly in the heart?
When words weave magical spells,
do paintbrushes turn into stars in the sky?
ஓ வலக்கண்ணில் ஊஞ்சலாடும் மயக்கம்
இடக்கண்ணில் தாயமாடும் தயக்கம்
பாவம் நானென பாரடா
என்ன செய்குவேன் கூறடா
கொஞ்சும் சலங்கைகள் விலங்கினானால்
என் உலகம் என்னாகும்
Oh, a heady intoxication swings in the right eye,
a hesitant shyness plays dice in the left eye.
Look at my helpless state and take pity on me,
tell me, what am I supposed to do?
இரவிலே பேசும் தலையணை
அதற்கு உன் பெயர் சூட்டு நீ
உன்னை நான் கூடும் நாளில்
என் செய்கிறேன் என்று நான் காட்டினேன்
If my anklets turn into binding fetters,
what will become of my world?
விழி நீ மூட உன் கன்னம் தீண்டும்
தலையணை போல் நான் வாழ வேண்டும்
மனதின் கூக்குரல் கேட்குமா
வலிகள் ஓவியம் ஆகுமா
உனை நான் அருகிலே கண்டு
உருகி வீழ்கையில் அள்ளி கொள்ளம்மா
The pillow I talk to in the quiet of the night,
I named it after you.
On the day I finally unite with you, what would I do?
That is exactly what I rehearsed and showed it.
ஹே ராமா
உயிர் உருக வேண்டாமா
நான் அள்ளி
அதை பருக வேண்டாமா
When you close your eyes and it gently touches your cheek,
I wish to live like that pillow.
Will the silent cry of my heart be heard?
Will these deep aches turn into a fine painting?
Seeing you so close to me,
as I melt and fall,
scoop me up and embrace me!
என்றும் பிரிந்திடா வண்ணம்
உந்தன் கையை இறுக்கியே கோர்க்க தா
பூமி அறிந்திடா காதல் ஒன்றை தருவேன்
நிரப்ப உன் நெஞ்சம் தா
Oh Rama,
shouldn't the soul melt in love?
Gathering it up,
shouldn't I drink it in?
தனிமையில் உன்னை நான் நீங்காத
உரிமை வேண்டும் தா
So that we never separate,
in a way, I want to interlock
your hand tightly with mine.
A love that the world has never known,
such a love I shall give to you;
give me your heart to fill it completely.
In your moments of loneliness,
to never leave your side,
grant me that rightful privilege.

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
The song 'Hey Sita Hey Rama' from Sita Ramam (2022) is a deeply romantic duet portraying the tender, unconditional, and eternal bond between Ram and Sita. The lyrics express an intense desire for togetherness, where love transcends physical distance and time itself. The male protagonist promises an unprecedented, pure love and asks for the right to remain by her side forever, while the female protagonist echoes his emotions, revealing her secret longings, vulnerable hesitations, and deep devotion.
Writing craft
Poetic devices
Iyaipu (Rhyme / Refrain)
“Enai piriya vendamaa / Nizhal ariya vendamaa”
The repetitive ending word 'vendamaa' creates a rhythmic refrain and underscores the pleading, longing tone of the lyrics.
Muran (Antithesis / Contrast)
“Oh valakannil oonjalaadum mayakkam / Ida kannil thaayamaadum thayakkam”
Contrasting emotions are placed side-by-side in opposite eyes—intoxicated ecstasy swinging in the right eye versus hesitant shyness playing dice in the left eye.
Personification
“Iravilae pesum thalaiyanai / Atharkku un peyar soottinaen”
The pillow is personified as a nighttime confidant to whom the protagonist speaks and gives her lover's name.
Metaphor
“Valigal oviyam aagumaa”
The emotional pain of longing and separation is metaphorically envisioned as turning into a beautiful painting.
