wow i'd be very careful to find the proper translation... ask several people, after all the tatto will be on you for life!

swahili is not my mother tongue so i wont even dare to give u the answer for all;

u could say 'pendo moja' for 'one love' which is pretty commonly used (you can look it up on the web).

second one... not sure if there is an easy alternative in swahili.
the third one... would be good to see a native swahili speaker translate this and maybe there is a proverb which means about the same - swahili is very rich in proverbs.

you can also look up swahili proverbs on the web to see if anything fits you.
