Please enjoy Teresa's performance of a Japanese original song "愛は砂のように (Ai wa Suna no Youni)", meaning "Love is Just Like Sand". 都倉俊一 (Tokura Shun-ichi) composed the song, and 藤公之介 (Fuji Kohnosuke) wrote the lyrics.

The following are the Japanese lyrics, with my English translation of the lyrics.

I want your heart just because this is unforgivable love
Please forget her while at least you are embracing me
Love spills out between fingers, without making noise, just like sand
I cannot see a destination of this love
You have a place to go back, and have a person (wife) welcoming you with a smile
But, where shall I go when I lose this love?

Please do not care about time
I do not want to hear you talk about your children
Please do not get ready to go home while I take a shower
Love absorbs tears and dreams, like sand,
and even leaves no footprints
Please burn me until I am burned out
Only a telephone ring is a weak link between us
I cannot live when I lose this love
I cannot live


あなたの心が 欲しいのよ
Anata no kokoro ga hoshii noyo

許されない 恋だからこそ
Yurusarenai koi dakara kooso

せめて 私を抱く時だけ
Semete watashi wo daku toki dake

あの人のことは 忘れてよ
Ano hito no koto wa wasureteyo

愛は 砂のように
Ai wa suna no youni

指のすき間を サラサラと
Yubi no sukima wo sara sara to

音もたてず こぼれてしまう
Oto mo tatezuni koborete shimau

私に見えない この恋の行方
Watashi ni mienai kono koi no yukue

あなたには 帰る場所がある
Anata niwa kaeru basho ga aru

微笑で迎える 人もいる
Egao de mukaeru hito mo iru

私は この恋を 失くしたら
Watashi wa kono koi wo nakushitara

何処へ行けば いいの
Doko e ikeba iino


時間を気にするのは やめて
Jikan wo kini surunowa yamete

子供の話も 聞きたくない
Kodomo no hanashi mo kikitakunai

シャワーをあびている あいだに
Shawa (shower) wo abite iru aidani

帰り支度なんて しないでよ
Kaeri jitaku nante shinaide yo

愛は 砂のように
Ai wa suna no youni

涙も夢も 吸い込んで
Namida mo suikonde

足跡さえも 残らないなら
Ashiato saemo nokoranai nara

燃えつきるまで 燃やしてほしい
Moetsukiru made moyashite hoshii

電話のベルだけが 私の
Denwa no beru (bell) ga watashi no

あなたとの細い きづななの
Anata tono hosoi kizuna nano

私はこの恋を 失くしたら
Watashi wa kono koi wo nakushitara

生きるすべも ないの
Ikiru sube mo naino

生きるすべも ないの
Ikiru sube mo naino

  • Hi there...love.. love.. love.. her voice so beautiful.

    Could you please let me know this song is on which Teresa Teng's LP please?? I am from Sydney and just starting to collect her Japan album(LP) looking on ebay ...very very expensive in these day :-( any recommend to get good LPs somewhere please?? and which album?? Many thanks Tom

  • @twospunkycats

    I sent you an e-mail. It will be best to search Amazon and the like, to obtain Japanese LP/CDs from abroad.

  • Masami-san: Thx for uploading this lovely song! The lyric is beautiful and v sad. Could you translate the rest of the lyric when you have a chance? Thx.

    "Love slips away between the finger, like sand, without a sound": so easy, so untenable and so heartbreaking. - How true!!

    I adore the way Teresa can sing these love songs w/ depth and great feelings yet not tear-jerking. This song, Ogura's I Love You, Wakare no Yokan, etc. all demonstrate her mastery in touching her listeners' hearts.

  • The lyrics are so agonizing.

  • すごいですね!

    僕もがんばりたいです!

  • 今日は土曜日で、ホットしたでしょう。 でも朝から雨で、少し寒いね。

  • It's a beautiful, heartrending song. What Teresa impresses me most with her delivery is the perfect balance between her agony and her trademark tenderness and elegance. That's Teresa.

  • You are indeed GREAT SINGER and asian beauty of body and soul.

  • A very beautiful song and TT's image starting at around 0:57 is as beautiful as any I've seen of her. What a gorgeous woman she was. Thanks for a really great video of TT.

  • I would love to provide a place for this girl to go. Wow,wow, wow,,,,so romantic...... it brings me close to tears. For Geroge may be love at 2nd sight....for me, she had me at the beginning of her song. Teresa is the ultimate rivaless diva in my heart forever til my last breathe. Thanks for sharing ur TT with me.

  • George !.... It was love as second sight, before was a love at first sight. Around 1975 you were a graduate student more or less the same age like TT, but she was already famous and wealthy..with wealthy guy like Jacky Chan chasing her...Life is unfair eh?

  • Thank you for this video Masami.
