I will teach you until dawn breaks,

Jasmine flowers in the evening,
a soft bed at dusk...

The whole town is watching,

Are you pure, unmined gold?
A youthful body perfectly intact?

A young girl who has never been held close?
A jasmine bud that has never received a kiss?

When you speak, your words sound like a magic spell,
and soothe the skin like sandalwood paste.
Red kumkum smudged across the chest,
all because of our sweet union.
It begins with our mother tongue,
and what follows next is a brand new language!
I am right here to teach you,
my little princess!
I will teach you until dawn breaks,
the sacred arts of love beneath the golden evening moon.
Female: The deep longings wandering across my chest,
Both: and so many other thoughts filling my mind...

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

Vidiya Vidiya Solli Tharuven is an intimate romantic duet from the 1982 Tamil film Pokkiri Raja. In the song, the hero playfully offers to teach his beloved the 'scriptures' of romance throughout the night under the golden moonlit sky, while the heroine expresses her deep desires and passion. Through rich classical Tamil imagery—comparing romantic lessons to sacred Vedas and describing love as a transition from one's mother tongue to a new language of intimacy—the song subtly conveys deep romance and passion.
