[edit] Information about Japanese adaptation of song

This information is tentative. Apparently, it's sung by Shiina Megumi 椎名恵 and is titled "LOVE IS ALL".

Japanese bulletin board where "LOVE IS ALL" is explained as cover of "I've never been to me", and is suggested for a wedding http://okweb.em-net.ne.jp/kotaeru.php3?q=1029942
English translation of above http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=ja&u=http://okweb.em-net.ne.jp/kotaeru.php3%3Fq%3D1029942&sa=X&oi=translate&resnum=4&ct=result&prev=/search%3Fq%3D%25E6%25A4%258E%25E5%2590%258D%25E6%2581%25B5%2B%25E3%2582%25B7%25E3%2583%25A3%25E3%2583%25BC%25E3%2583%25AA%25E3%2583%25BC%25E3%2583%25B3%2B%2522LOVE%2BIS%2BALL%2522%2B%25E7%25B5%2590%25E5%25A9%259A%25E5%25BC%258F%26start%3D10%26hl%3Den%26lr%3D%26sa%3DN

Success! Japanese lyrics found (partial):

http://sessai.cocolog-nifty.com/blog/2006/02/post_25c2.html

Love is all

女なら何よりも愛を選ぶわ

たとえそれが苦しみでもかまわない　　　　　　　

そうよ

遠くても大切なものが見えるから

生きていける

You know my love is true

I've never heard the Japanese version but trying to read aloud the above text leads me to believe the lyrics would correspond to the tune and English lyrics as follows (English lyrics with corresponding Japanese lyrics in parentheses). "Corresponding" here means "sung at the same time of and instead of the English lyrics".

been (love) to (is) Geor- (all) -gia and (onna nara)

Ca- ( ) -lifornia (nan yori mo) and ( )

anywhere I could (ai wo erabu) run (wa)

I () took the hand (tatoe)

of a prea- (sore ga) -cher man (kurushi)

and we (midemo) made love in the sun (kamawanai)

but I ran (sou yo)

out of places (hayakutemo)

and friendly faces because (taisetsu mono ga)

I had to be free (mieru kara)

I've been to paradise (ikite ikeru)

But I've never been to me (you know my love is true)
