Lyrics & meaning
Beyond the translation
Overall song meaning
Sarvam Sri Krishnarpanam is a romantic duet from the 1999 Tamil film Thirupathi Ezhumalai Venkatesa, composed by S. A. Rajkumar and written by lyricist Vaali. The song uses devotional imagery and playful metaphors to depict the passion and deep surrender between lovers, drawing parallels between romantic devotion and Radha's selfless love for Lord Krishna. The lyricist weaves modern cultural references, classic literature, and sacred rituals together. The lovers declare that their affection is complete and absolute, claiming that their love story is an epic greater than any written by Kamban, and an enduring bond as permanent as timeless Tamil poetry.
