Hey
May maasam 98’il major aanenae
Major aana naalaai naanum pegaar aanenae
Kaaya pazhama endru en kannam thadavum sila per
Erumbu oorudhu endru en idaiyai killum sila per
En aadaigalai thottu paarpathu pol silar angam thodugindrar
Ada saalaigalil ulla rasigar ellaam oru sangam vaikindrar
May maasam 98’il major aanenae
Thirteen enbathu unlucky number merku ulagathil
Thirteen enbadhu lucky number enthan visayathil
Thirteen vanthathu yetho nernthathu mangai paruvathil
Fourteen vanthathum matram vanthathu enthan uruvathil
Adutha veetu paiyan ada ambu thoduthaan summa
Kolam poda ponaal adi koodathu endral amma
{ Ada vayasuku yen vantheno
Padu thollai ammamaa } (2)
May maasam 98’il major aanenae
May may may may maasam
Fifteen vanthathu malargal poothena enthan thegathil
Malargal ellaam kaniyaai marum maalai nerathil
Sixteen vanthathum kalla paarvaigal enthan baagathil
Pengal kooda aasai kondanar pallikoodathil
Yethanai ullathu pennil yen yethayo thedurenga
Yengo poguthu paarvai ennai vetkam pinnuthu ponga
Pen maarbukul oru manasundu mariyathai panunga
Pen maarbukul oru manasundu ada athaiyum paarunga
May maasam 98’il major aanenae
Major aana naalaai naanum pegaar aanenae
Kaaya pazhama endru en kannam thadavum sila per
Erumbu oorudhu endru en idaiyai killum sila per
En aadaigalai thottu paarpathu pol silar angam thodugindrar
Ada saalaigalil ulla rasigar ellaam oru sangam vaikindrar
Song Meaning & Analysis
The song "May Masam" from the movie 'Jay Jay' captures the experience of a young girl transitioning into womanhood and the often-unwanted attention that comes with it. The protagonist recounts turning "major" in May '98, marking the onset of puberty and the subsequent changes in her body and the way society perceives her. She humorously yet poignantly describes the discomfort of being objectified, with people touching her, commenting on her appearance, and even forming "clubs" of admirers. The lyrics highlight the shift from innocent childhood to a more complex adolescence, where physical changes bring both self-awareness and external scrutiny.
The song delves into the specific ages, noting how thirteen brought maidenhood, fourteen brought physical changes, fifteen saw "flowers bloom" (a metaphor for developing curves), and sixteen brought "sly glances" from both boys and even girls. Despite the playful tone, there's an underlying plea for respect, as she reminds listeners that beyond the physical form, a woman possesses a heart and mind that deserve recognition. The repeated refrain about being "troubled" since coming of age underscores the challenges and frustrations faced by young women as they navigate their evolving identities amidst societal expectations and intrusive attention.
