It never lessens, no matter how much you give
It never runs out, no matter how much you take
It never fades, no matter how hard you stop it
What price could you ever put on love?
It never lessens, no matter how much you give
It never runs out, no matter how much you take
It never fades, no matter how hard you stop it
What price could you ever put on love?
For you, and for me
The earth keeps spinning
If we come together, to walk ahead
There is still a path before us
One sky, one earth
Hoo oo oo ho oo ooo
One sky, one earth
Hoo oo oo ho oo ooo
One sky, one earth
Hoo oo oo ho oo ooo
One sky, one earth
Hoo oo oo ho oo ooo
Don't look at anyone as a stranger
Don't divide yourselves into countless races
Don't look at anyone as a stranger
Try connecting with people beyond languages
Don't divide yourselves into countless races
All living beings share a single root
Even the soil takes the seed you gave
And returns it as a full-grown tree
Even the grass that sprouted just yesterday
Kisses your feet even when stepped on
One sky, one earth
Hoo oo oo ho oo ooo
One sky, one earth
Hoo oo oo ho oo ooo
One sky, one earth
Hoo oo oo ho oo ooo
One sky, one earth
Hoo oo oo ho oo ooo
It never lessens, no matter how much you give
It never runs out, no matter how much you take
It never fades, no matter how hard you stop it
What price could you ever put on love?
For you, and for me
The earth keeps spinning
If we come together, to walk ahead
There is still a path before us

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

The song is a soulful anthem celebrating universal love, unity, and humanity beyond social, linguistic, and regional barriers. It conveys that love is an infinite and priceless resource—the more you give, the richer it grows. Emphasizing our shared existence under 'one sky and one earth', the lyrics urge people not to divide themselves by race or language, reminding us that all living creatures share a common origin and destiny. Using gentle metaphors from nature—such as the soil returning a seed as a fruit-bearing tree and tender grass cushioning a footstep like a kiss—the song illustrates how nature inherently practices unconditional giving and harmony. Ultimately, it delivers an uplifting message of hope, encouraging human beings to set aside differences and walk together on the path of togetherness.
