Kaliyug Ki Sita Song Lyrics and Translation

From the movie – Lajja

gaa maa gaa re gaa saa re paa

[Names of the notes in classical Hindustani music]

paa saa paa saa maa gaa

gaa maa gaa re gaa saa re paa

paa saa paa saa maa gaa

kaali-yug ki sita ki uljhan hai

It’s the predicament of the modern Sita [Sita is the wife of Ram, the seventh avatar of the Hindu god Vishnu; Kali-yug is the fourth and final era in the cyclical universal calendar; the present age, a time of despair and destruction].

mat puuchh mere man bairaagi

Don’t put questions to my heart, sage [bairaagi = a Hindu, specifically Vaisnava ascetic]

jivan bhar ka vanvaas liya

I’m banished for life.

ram ke ghar ko bhi tyaagi hai

I’m even exiled from the house of Ram [Sita was cast out by her husband after her honor was impugned].

yeh kaali-yug ki sita ki uljhan

This is the predicament of the modern Sita.

har qadam pe uska haraan huwa

I’ve been plagued every step of the way;

har mor pe raavan ko dekha

on each turn in the road, I’ve glimpsed Raavan [the King of Lanka, whose abduction of Sita later caused the aspersions against her virtue].

har qadam pe uska haraan huwa

I’ve been plagued every step of the way;

har mor pe raavan ko dekha

at each turn I’ve spotted Raavan.

jab saiyya ka dhiraj tuuta

When her love’s steadfastness broke,

khud laangh chala lakshman rekha

Lakshman himself guided her across the point of no return. [Lakshman = Ram’s brother, who took Sita into exile]

na rang-mahaal usko bhaaya

The pleasure palace didn’t approve of her [rang mahal: palatial apartment used for festivities or entertaining courtesans];

saari khushiyon ko taj bhaagi hai

meanwhile, the crown continues to participate in the fun. (?)

yeh kaali-yug ki sita ki uljhan

This is the predicament of the modern Sita.

gaa maa gaa re gaa saa re paa

paa saa paa saa maa gaa

gaa maa gaa re gaa saa re paa

paa saa paa saa maa gaa

gaa maa gaa re gaa saa re paa

naakaam huyi badnaam huyi

I became useless; I was disgraced, (whereas)

kal tak thi shraddha ki murat

until yesterday, I was the object of reverence.

naakaam huyi badnaam huyi

I became useless; I was disgraced;

kal tak thi shraddha ki murat

whereas until yesterday, I was the object of reverence.

dar dar bhatki maari maari

Wretchedly wandering from door to door,

aasmaan mein Duub gayi suurat

my face was drowned in the sky.

kaanton pe aaye nind zara

When I fell asleep on thorns,

phuulon ke bistar pe jaagi

I woke on a bed of flowers.

kaali-yug ki sita ki uljhan

This is the predicament of the modern Sita.

voh raam ke ghar ko bhi tyaagi haaye

I’ve even renounced the house of Ram.

kaali-yug ki sita ki uljhan

This is the predicament of the modern Sita.
