Hey, Sulur Subbamma!
Tell me, oh please tell me!
Speak some wise words to me!
What does a woman
really like in a man?
Leaving behind fear, modesty,
and shyness, explain it to us!
Does she like a kiss
that makes flowers blossom?
Or does she like a battle
that bends the flowering vine?
Does she like making gentle love,
or devouring each other with fierce passion?

Subbamma, Subbamma!
Chorus: Subbamma!
Male: Hey, Sulur Subbamma!
Chorus: Subbamma!
Male: Tell me, oh please tell me!
Speak some wise words to me!
Only if I buy you Madurai jasmine
and sweet Tirunelveli halwa,
and bring them for you,
will you like a man?
If you bribe me like that
and come to share my bed,
will my hunger for love
be satisfied by you?
Hey, do you like the softness
of playing a gentle flute?
Or do you like the boldness
of blowing a loud conch?
Are you always ripe for harvest round the year?
Is being in bed a full-time job for a woman?
Can the town bear this?
Subbamma...
Subbamma...
Hey, Sulur Subbamma!
Tell me, oh please tell me!
Speak some wise words to me!
With eyes that spin like a top,
she spoke words of love!
She came like a golden statue
and left my heart yearning for more!
She came like a golden statue
and left my heart yearning for more!
Na na na na
You arrogant, swaggering man!
Your clever answer won't work here!
You arrogant, swaggering man!
Your clever answer won't work here!
Mere favors in bed
and physical desires alone
will never bring a woman
true lasting happiness!
Eh eh eh eh
Eh eh eh eh
Eh eh eh eh
Even after the act of love is done,
keep holding her close in your arms,
gently caress her ears,
and don't let her just drift to sleep!
A single night is enough
to fulfill her body's desires,
but it takes a whole lifetime
to truly melt her entire heart!
The man who protects the dignity
of a tender, shy woman
overwhelmed by modesty—
that man is a true hero!
He is like a god to her!
Subbamma, Subbamma!
I am Sulur Subbamma!
Tell me, oh please tell me!
Speak some wise words to me!
What does a woman really like in a man?
Leaving behind fear, modesty,
and shyness, explain it to us!
Does she like a kiss
that makes flowers blossom?
Or does she like a battle
that bends the flowering vine?
Does she like making gentle love,
or devouring each other with fierce passion?
