Storm, oh storm, a tucked-away storm!
A storm that strikes me with a smile!
Storm, oh storm, a tucked-away storm!
A storm that strikes me with a smile!
Is it for this that you circled around me?
Do you have other plans like this inside your heart?
You think of me all through the night till dawn,
Once dawn breaks, you come to see me in person,
You come so close, yet keep your distance!
Dolly dolly dhoy!
The moment I saw you, I fell for you,
The moment I looked into your eyes, the world went dark,
The moment we spoke, love burst out!
Dolly dolly dhoy!
Storm, oh storm, a tucked-away storm!
Male: Hey!
Female: A storm that strikes me with a smile!
Storm, oh storm, a tucked-away storm!
A storm that strikes me with a smile!
Is it for this that you circled around me?
Do you have other plans like this inside your heart?
{Aa ee yaa yee yey yey yee
Aa ee yaa yee yey yey yee
Aa aa aa aa aa aa aa haa} (2)
Just like a spinning top,
you made me dance around!
Without even a whip-string, you made me spin!
Just like a speeding train,
whenever I was running along,
you waved your half-sari and made me stop!
You made my silent heart speak up,
and calling out your name again and again, it teases me!
Male: Scattering your shyness, you made me blush,
and every time I look at you, my eyes feel dazzled!
Who is feeling shy? Come close and see for yourself,
hug me tight just as you wish!
Dolly dolly dhoy!
Storm, oh storm, a tucked-away storm!
A storm that strikes me with a smile!
Is it for this that you circled around me?
Female: Oh, do you have other plans like this inside your heart?
Hai hai hai hai hai hai
Haiyo haiyo haiyo haiyo
Hai hai haiyo haiyo
Ho ho ho ho ho hoh
Ho ho ho ho ho hoh
No matter whom I look at, hey, it is only you I see!
Have both my eyes gone bad? I cannot understand a thing!
Female: Has the whole town cast an evil eye on you?
Take some dirt from a three-way junction, circle it over your head, and throw it away!
Whoever walks past talking and mentions your name,
why do I feel they are making gestures at me, my girl?
Female: Whatever you say, it is not just you,
inside my heart, I am troubled just like you!
There is a rumor that half of me has become you,
is that rumor true as well?
Dolly dolly dhoy!
Storm, oh storm!
Storm, oh storm, a tucked-away storm!
A storm that strikes me with a smile!
Is it for this that you circled around me?
Male: Do you have other plans like this inside your heart?
You think of me all through the night till dawn,
Once dawn breaks, you come to see me in person,
You come so close, yet keep your distance!
Dolly dolly dhoy!
The moment I saw you, I fell for you,
The moment I looked into your eyes, the world went dark,
The moment we spoke, love burst out!
Dolly dolly dhoy!

Overall song meaning
'Puyalae Puyalae' from the movie Kovil (2003) is a vibrant and romantic duet where the lead lovers playfully express their intense attraction and affectionate banter. The woman compares her lover to a contained storm ('pothivacha puyal') whose gentle smile overwhelms her heart, while the man teasingly describes how her presence spins his mind like a top and blinds him with affection.
