Muppathu paisa moonu mozham
Mullai malligai kanagaamparam
Ippathaanunga malarnthathunga
Naareduthuthu naanae thoduththathunga
Ippathaanunga malarnthathunga
Naareduthuthu naanae thoduththathunga
Muppathu paisa moonu mozham
Mullai malligai kanagaamparam
Kanagaamparam roja mullai
Sambangi sevvanthi
Thanjavur-u kadhambam….kadhambam kadhambam
Vellikkizhamai velakku vachchaa
Veettilirukkum pendaatti
Vellikkizhamai velakku vachchaa
Veettilirukkum pendaatti
Aval alli mudikka mallaigai poovai
Vaangithaaiyya kai neetti
Ava azhagaa iruppaa
Un mel anbaaa iruppaa
Ava azhagaa iruppaa
Un mel anbaaa iruppaa
Nee sonna ketpaa pinnagai pooppaa
Unnai anaippaa
……………
Muppathu paisa moonu mozham
Mullai malligai kanagaamparam
Kanagaamparam roja mullai
Sambangi sevvanthi
Thanjavur-u kadhambam….
Inthaa thambi senthaamaraippoo
Irukkira thutta nee podu
Nam kannaa irunthu nenjil niraintha
Annaa silaikku poo podu
Nam kannaa irunthu nenjil niraintha
Annaa silaikku poo podu
Nee vaasanau poovaa
Nallaa vaazhanum thambi
Sila kaagithapoo kannai parikkum
Pogaathae nambi
: Roja mullai sambangi sevvanthi
Thanjavur-u kadhambam….kadhambam kadhambam
Vaadikkaiyaa naan poo vikkumpothu

Un paarvai enna purinjikkittaendaa
Mookku mogara jaakkirathai
Naan bayapadamaattaendaa

Kaippattaa taappu egiri pogum
Thottu paaraendaa

Muppathu paisa moonu mozham
Mullai malligai kanagaamparam
Kanagaamparam roja mullai
Sambangi sevvanthi

Thirty paise for three cubits!
Wild jasmine, sweet jasmine, and firecracker flowers!
They have just blossomed fresh right now,
I strung them myself with plantain fiber!
They have just blossomed fresh right now,
I strung them myself with plantain fiber!
Thirty paise for three cubits!
Wild jasmine, sweet jasmine, and firecracker flowers!
Firecracker flowers, roses, wild jasmine,
Tuberoses and chrysanthemums,
Thanjavur mixed garlands... garlands of mixed flowers!
When the evening lamp is lit on a Friday,
Your wife will be waiting at home.
When the evening lamp is lit on a Friday,
Your wife will be waiting at home.
For her to gather and wear in her hair,
Reach out your hand, sir, and buy some jasmine flowers!
She will look so lovely,
She will shower you with love.
She will look so lovely,
She will shower you with love.
She will listen to whatever you say, bloom with a smile,
And hold you close in her arms!

Thirty paise for three cubits!
Wild jasmine, sweet jasmine, and firecracker flowers!
Firecracker flowers, roses, wild jasmine,
Tuberoses and chrysanthemums,
Thanjavur mixed garlands...
Here, little brother, take this red lotus flower,
Just pay whatever money you have with you!
To him who was our guiding light and lives in our hearts,
Offer these flowers at Anna's statue!
To him who was our guiding light and lives in our hearts,
Offer these flowers at Anna's statue!
Like a sweet-smelling flower,
May you live a wonderful life, brother!
Some paper flowers might catch your eye,
Do not trust them and be fooled!
Roses, wild jasmine, tuberoses, chrysanthemums,
Thanjavur mixed garlands... garlands of mixed flowers!
While I go about my work selling flowers,
Do not stand there ogling at me for fun!
I understand very well what that look means,
You better watch your nose and face!
I am not going to be scared of you,
I will never give in to you!
I am not going to be scared of you,
I will never give in to you!
If my hand strikes you, your head will go spinning!
Just dare to touch me and see!
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
Thirty paise for three cubits!
Wild jasmine, sweet jasmine, and firecracker flowers!
Firecracker flowers, roses, wild jasmine,
Tuberoses and chrysanthemums,
Thanjavur mixed garlands... garlands of mixed flowers!
