The form of Radha, O Mother Sita!
Beholding the Lord was Andal's blessed destiny,
Sri Rama Sita is the melody that I sing.
Victory to Rama, victory to Sita and Rama!
Victory to Rama, victory to Sita and Rama!
You are Rama, and you are Krishna.
The form of Radha, O Mother Sita!
In the divine play of the Supreme Lord, there is the flute,
And upon His chest rests Radha's loosened hair.
In the divine play of the Supreme Lord, there is the flute,
And upon His chest rests Radha's loosened hair.
There are no words to describe the gaze of their eyes;
O Krishna, isn't the art of love truly your creation?
Victory to Rama, victory to Sita and Rama!
Victory to Rama, victory to Sita and Rama!
You are Rama, and you are Krishna.
The form of Radha, O Mother Sita!
Which is the day Rama arrives in Mithila?
That is the greatest festival in Sita's life.
Which is the day Rama arrives in Mithila?
That is the greatest festival in Sita's life.
She beholds the noble countenance on the King's face.
Victory to Rama, victory to Sita and Rama!
Victory to Rama, victory to Sita and Rama!
You are Rama, and you are Krishna.
The form of Radha, O Mother Sita!
The four Vedas took form as Him,
The four noble virtues took shape as womanhood.
The four Vedas took form as Him,
The four noble virtues took shape as womanhood.
To those who have faith, He is their own child,
To those who have faith, He is their own child,
To those who place their trust in Him, He is the ultimate refuge.
Sita Ram, victory to Radha and Ram!

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

Ramanum Neeyae Krishnanum Neeyae is a soulful composition from the 1977 movie Uyarndhavargal. Penned by Kannadasan, the song draws rich mythological parallels between human devotion/love and divine archetypes such as Rama-Sita and Krishna-Radha. The lyrics depict a devotion where the beloved is perceived as the embodiment of divine virtues, blurring the lines between romantic affection and spiritual reverence. Throughout the song, imagery of the Vedas, feminine virtues (Acham, Madam, Naanam, Payirppu), and legendary reunions from the epics evoke a feeling of sacred union. It portrays pure faith and unconditional love as the ultimate realm of human happiness.
