தாவணிய காட்டி காட்டி நிற்க வச்சியே
Like a spinning top,
You made me dance!
Without any whip, you made me spin around!
எந்தன் மனசை நீ பேச வச்சியே
உந்தன் பேரை சொல்லி சொல்லி சீண்டி பார்க்குதே
வெட்கம் வீசியே என்னை கூச வச்சியே
உன்னை உன்னை பார்க்கும் போதும் கண்கள் கூசுதே
Just like a train,
Whenever I ran,
You made me stop by waving your veil (thavani)!

Beyond the translation

'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.
