I'm not sure on pronounciation, so this is just a guess. I'm going to guess it's pronounced MAH-yeem

Which song? Personally, when I say it fast, it sounds more like the word mime said fast.

The song MayimI suppose you are referring to the song "Ushavtem mayim besason" by E.Amiran (lyrics: Isaia 12,7).
