Lyrics & meaning
Beyond the translation
Overall song meaning
The song 'Puyalae Puyalae' is a high-energy track expressing youthful passion and energetic infatuation. The protagonist compares his beloved to a swirling storm and a wave that threatens even fundamental atoms, emphasizing her vibrant 18-year-old vitality. He uses grand hyperbole to describe his love, such as wishing to hang thousands of fans in the sky to cool her off when she sweats in the sun, feeling jealous even when the postman says her name, wanting doctors to transplant a heart that beats solely to chant her name, and promising to write a love letter as long as the Great Wall of China.
