Trivia: Urrak Marum-ia – Lorna Cordeiro
“Urrak Marum-ia” is a fun, energetic Konkani song that celebrates Goa’s famous seasonal drink — urrak — while also showing its wild and sometimes risky side. Urrak, made from cashew apples, is a local favorite in Goa, especially during the early summer months, and is widely enjoyed in pubs and taverns across the state.
The song kicks off with a catchy and playful line encouraging everyone to drink urrak and forget about whiskey and beer. It highlights the joy of the month of May, a time for celebration, relaxation, and letting go of stress. The lyrics suggest putting aside worries and enjoying life to the fullest with friends.
But as the song progresses, it also reveals the consequences of overindulgence. It humorously describes how people drink so much that they lose their way, fall asleep on the road, and never make it back home. The lyrics cleverly warn that if you cannot handle it, you should not drink, adding a realistic touch to the otherwise fun theme.
The song also captures the seasonal charm of urrak — a drink that people eagerly wait for, as it is only available during the cashew season. This makes it even more special and tempting, which is why people feel like enjoying it as much as they can while it lasts.
With its catchy chorus, relatable Goan vibe, and a mix of fun and caution, “Urrak Marum-ia” grabs attention instantly. It’s not just a song — it’s a celebration of Goan culture, nightlife, and the love for urrak that makes listeners want to hit play again and again.
