The Italian translation of the Beatles' quote 'All you need is love' is the rather wordy tutto quello di cui hai bisogno è amore. A slightly shorter translation would be L'amore è tutto ciò di cui hai bisogno.

Both translations are based on the English grammatical construction of the sentence, and sound rather clumsy in Italian.

In order to make the expression run a little more smoothly, you may need to alter the wording of the phrase to something like hai solo bisogno d'amore, which is a literal conversion of  'you only have need for love'. Another more 'natural' sounding translation that means much the same thing is ti serve solo amore

Translations of other Beatles' songs

If you're looking for other Beatles' songs translated into Italian, the internet is a good source for such material. One such site would be riflessioni.it, which offers a translation of selected Beatles tracks along with the lyrics to some original Italian music too!

Alternatively, if you're a registered user of Facebook, you could join an Italian group like this one, where different Facebook members have created a dedicated space to share and discuss Italian translations of Beatles songs.
