Haaaaaaaa…aa… Sokkanukkum rendu pondatti
Avan magan subbanukkum Rendu pondaatti
Ayar paadi kannanukkoo Alaillatha pondatti
Aana enna pola thangachinga Endha saamikkum kedaiyadhuuu
En kastangala sonnalum Kadavulukku puriyadhu
Maamoi… maamoi…
Maamoi maamoi Kallu kada marandhidunga
Pala ezha veedu thanniyila Muzhugudhunga
Pozhudhaachu ammammammamammaa Azhudhaachu ammammammamammaa
Ada bodha meeri vandha vazhi thavarudhunga
Maamoi maamoi Kallu kada marandhidunga
Pala ezha veedu thanniyila Muzhugudhunga
Maram vechavan thanni oothala Yaahoohu yaahoohu
Naan oothunaa ooru kekkudhae Yaahoohu yaahoohu
Pattam vaanga vitta kaasil Potti kada vechiruppen
Ippo oru vazhi illaiyae Ration kada attaikkum thaan
Neram varum kaalam varum Pattathukku adhu illaiyae
Naan kudikka yaar poruppu Vekkam illaama appan aathaavum

Maamoi maamoi Kallu kada marandhidunga
Pala ezha veedu thanniyila Muzhugudhunga
Song Meaning & Analysis
The song "Maamoi Maamoi" from 'Dhavani Kanavugal' is a poignant social commentary disguised as a folk-style lament, primarily addressing the devastating impact of alcoholism on families, especially the poor. Sung from the perspective of a character (often interpreted as a woman or someone embodying a woman's plight), it begins with a sarcastic comparison of mythological figures having multiple partners to her own lack of support, highlighting her unique struggles that even gods wouldn't comprehend. The central plea is directed at an "uncle" figure, urging him to abandon the liquor shop, as countless impoverished households are metaphorically "drowning in water" – a powerful image for tears, debt, and despair.
The lyrics delve deeper into the character's personal anguish, expressing the heavy burden she carries and lamenting a woman's life as a perpetual curse. She uses the metaphor of a lamp burning in tears without oil, symbolizing a life devoid of hope and support. The song also touches upon themes of parental responsibility, questioning why she was born into such a fate. Despite the overwhelming despair and the feeling of being neglected, there's a flicker of hope in her belief that her horoscope promises a brighter future, where she will eventually rise above her circumstances. The repeated plea to shun alcohol underscores the song's powerful message against addiction and its societal consequences.
