The lyrics posted need to be corrected in several places, probably because of the use of the tamizh script to write them down (e.g., phalAnuja for balAnuja, kOra for ghOra).
Here are some of the lyrics that I was able to decode from the versions of Priya Sisters and Malladi Brothers posted on youtube. I have posted the lyrics in saMskRtam as well. If Lakshman-ji posts a better version, the remainder can be worked on.

Looking forward to corrections and input from Rajani, Sachi, Smt. Savitri and other

Thank you, Lakshman-ji; unfortunately, the two tarangams are not the same.
