Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(*) Motto namida ga afuretemo
Zutto ashita wa tookutemo
Itsumademo sagashite yo
Hokori ni mamireta ai wo
Kawaita suna no
Kaeranu yume wo
Sakende iru yoo sa
Kaze ni midareta
Sugao no mama de
Tomadou omoi hora
Keri ageta sora niwa
(#) Itsuka namida ga afuretemo
Tatoe ashita ga tookutemo
Tasogare ni kiesou na
Yume nara sono mune ni
Tsunaide omoide ni
Shinaide itsumademo
Akogare yori mo
Kanashimi no kazu
Itameta mure ni Tonight
Sotto kaeshite

Dare mo ga onaji
Sora no shita de iki wo shite
Katari kiranai hodo no Love Is All...
Love Is All... Love Is All...

The song Love Is All by Hideaki Tokunaga is a beautiful ballad that is all about love and holding onto it no matter what circumstances may come. The lyrics start off with the singer expressing how tears may overflow and tomorrow may seem far away but they will always continue to search for the love that is covered in dirt and grime. The next few lines describe how footprints on dry sand will not return and how they continue to shout for a dream that will never come back. However, they don't give up and keep searching.
The chorus emphasizes how even if tears may fall one day and tomorrow may seem distant, as long as they have a dream that they long for in their heart, they will never let it go. They don't want to forget the memories and emotions they shared with their lover, and they want to hold onto them forever in their heart. Even if the amount of pain they feel exceeds the amount of longing they have, they want to softly return it all.
The lyrics throughout the song portray how love is worth fighting for, even if it's painful, distant, and covered in dirt. It's a beautiful message of hope and perseverance, and Hideaki Tokunaga's voice adds a powerful emotional touch to the lyrics.

Even if there are more tears in my eyes.
Far away tomorrow.
Forever looking for your dusty love
[0:46]
No more dry sand footprints.
It's like screaming about a dream you won't return to.
Bare-faced, disheveled by the wind.
A puzzling thought, you see, when I kicked up in the sky
[1:32]
One day there will be tears in my eyes.
Even if tomorrow is far away.
We're going to disappear into the twilight.
If you have a dream, take it to your chest.
Don't make it a memory, forever.
[2:05]
More sorrows than longings.
Gently return it to your bruised chest.
[2:29]
Even if there are more tears in my eyes.
Far away tomorrow.
Forever looking for your dusty love
[3:16]
Everyone else is the same, breathing under the same sky.
More than I can say.
Love is all
Hold her to your chest.
[3:45]
One day there will be tears in my eyes.
Even if tomorrow is far away.
We're going to disappear into the twilight.
If you have a dream, take it to your chest.
Don't make it a memory, forever.

もっと涙が溢れても
ずっと明日は遠くても
いつまでも捜してよ埃にまみれた愛を
乾いた砂の足跡はもう
帰らぬ夢を叫んでいるようさ
風に乱れた素顔のままで
戸惑う想いほら蹴り上げた空には
いつか涙が溢れても
たとえ明日が遠くても
黄昏に消えそうな
夢ならその胸につないで
思い出にしないでいつまでも
憧れよりも悲しみの数
痛めた胸に[tonight]そっと返して
もっと涙が溢れても
ずっと明日は遠くても
いつまでも捜してよ埃にまみれた愛を
誰もが同じ空の下で息をして
語りきれない程の
LOVE IS ALL･･･胸に抱いて
いつか涙が溢れても
たとえ明日が遠くても
黄昏に消えそうな
夢ならその胸につないで
思い出にしないでいつまでも
@wjagd
～帰らぬ夢叫 ...戸惑悲痛.胸

黄昏...消えそうな 夢 ...その
胸につないで ...思い出にし

I love Tokunaga's songs. The number of different lyrics is extremely impressive. His range of emotion and ability to convey depth of feeling are extraordinary. A marvellous gift. One of the great rewards of learning Japanese has been to appreciate and understand the meaning of his songs as well as the delight of his voice.
@user-hw4ei1nn3v
I’m so happy to hear this. I’m sure of your Japanese will be better :)

壊れかけのRadio、Wednesday Moon、Love Is Allと立て続けにリリースした徳永さん。凄すぎ。
@user-bx7np3zo7v
数ある男性ボーカリストの中で異才を放っていた。
今もこのメロディが色褪せないのは彼の実力だろう。もっと評価されるべきだろう！
