Oh man, oh Lord Ayyappa!
Show some money to my eyes!
Change this poor man's destiny!
Make me rich like Kubera (god of wealth)!
Chorus: Papparapara paraparapara papparapprap
Papparapara paraparapara papparapprap
Om money money, my money money
My money, Om money, ah...
My money money, Om money money
Om money, my money, oh dear!
Money, money, money!
If only that money is there, every day
Day after day, every day
The mind keeps thinking only of that money!
Awesome! Oh man, oh Lord Ayyappa!
Show some money to my eyes!
Change this poor man's destiny!
Make me rich like Kubera!

I was never used to studying
I have never even looked at a book
Even when it rained heavily
I never took shelter anywhere near a school!
Hey man, don't you worry
I will teach you!
A... Aa... E... Ee... hey, you are going way too fast!
Feels like I will forget it... alright, alright!
By counting cash day after day
I learned how to do math
Because I was born into poverty
I earned my degree without ever studying!
Money alone is the truth, my friend
Keep that firmly in your mind!
Life itself is a school, man
The one who learns from it is a real big shot!
Om money money, my money money
My money, Om money, ah...
My money money, Om money money
Om money, my money, oh dear!
Money, money, money!
If only that money is there, every day
Day after day, every day
The mind keeps thinking only of that money!
Awesome! Oh man, oh Lord Ayyappa!
Show some money to my eyes!
Change this poor man's destiny!
Make me rich like Kubera!
Chidambaram, Sirkazhi, Mayavaram
Kumbakonam, Nagore, Nagore, Nagapattinam
Just to teach the value of integrity
He created the coin!
The flower that bloomed from honest sweat
He has engraved on one side of it!
Hold on, hold on, Kaans!
Aha, just like slamming the brakes going downhill!
What a great point, bro, you touched my heart!
But you mentioned the flower (tails) and forgot the head!
Heads or tails, in my hands
It never seems to stay... aha!
The money you earn today
Save it up for tomorrow
You will never have any worries
You will never have to say you have nothing!
Because it comes as it pleases
It is called good fortune!
Because it leaves without telling
It is called wealth!
Om money money, my money money
My money, Om money, ah...
My money money, Om money money
Om money, my money, oh dear!
Money, money, money!
If only that money is there, every day
Day after day, every day
The mind keeps thinking only of that money!
Awesome! Oh man, oh Lord Ayyappa!
Show some money to my eyes!
Change this poor man's destiny!
Make me rich like Kubera!

Beyond the translation
Overall song meaning
This energetic and satirical song revolves around the themes of poverty, survival, and the paramount importance of money in everyday life. The protagonist prays humorously to the divine to alter his impoverished fate and transform him into Kubera (the god of wealth). Through street-smart wisdom and playful banter, the song highlights how life's harsh struggles teach practical lessons far beyond formal book education.
Writing craft
Poetic devices
Muran (Antithesis)
“Sollaamalae selvathaal / Selvamunnu perunga”
Plays with words contrasting the coming and going of money, explaining why wealth ('selvam') gets its name from departing without notice ('sollaamal selvadhu').
Ethugai (Second-letter Rhyme)
“Kannula kaasa kaattappaa / Yaezha thalaiyezhuththa maaththappaa”
The second letter 'n'/'zh' (or rhyming rhythm across lines) establishes ethugai harmony.
Punctuated Wordplay (Sledai / Metaphor)
“Naanayam therinjikkavae / Naanayam padaichchirukkaan”
Uses 'Naanayam' in a double sense, referring both to currency coins and to human integrity/character.
