私はピアノ Watashi wa piano
高田みずえ
Released in March 1980, this song was released as part of the album, "Tiny Bubbles" by Southern All Stars. This song was then covered in July 1980 by Mizue Takada as her 12th single. Her calm voice and sad tune matched well and it became a big hit. Considering the fact that this song was made almost 40 years ago amazes me. It doesn't sound old at all.
Later she got married to a Sumo wrestler, Wakashimazu (now retired and runs a sumo training quarter) and retired as a singer.
This song matches well in Latin arrangement and I also like another cover version by Orchesta de la Luz.
Back then in 1980

Lyrics
Japanese
Japanese pronunciation
English translation
hito mo urayamu yona naka ga
Sweet relationship of the two even others envy
いつも 自慢 の ふたり だった
itsumo jiman no futari datta
has always been our pride
あなた と なら どこ までも
anata to nara doko mademo
With you to anywhere I can go
いける つもり で いた の に
ikeru tsumori de ita no ni
That's how I believed
突然 の 嵐 みたい に
totsuzen no arashi mitai ni
Like a sudden storm
音 を 立てて くずれてく
Eoto wo tatete kuzureteku
everything is falling apart with a crushing sound
涙 が 出ない のは なぜ
namida ga denai nowa naze
Why tears won't come out
教えて 欲しい だけ さ
oshiete hoshii dake sa
I just need to know the reason
あなた から 目 が 離せない
anata kara me ga hanasenai
I can't take my eyes off of you
ふたり して 聞く わ ラリー カールトン
futari shite kiku wa Larry Carlton
while we listen to Larry Carlton
日だまり の 中 で 抱かれ
hidamari no naka de dakare
Blessed with sunshine we held each other
いつ しか 時 の 徒然 に
itsus hika toki no tsurezure ni
and soon we were lost in time
思い出 に 酔う ひま も なく
omoide ni you hima mo naku
No time to be indulged in memories
心 から 好き よ と 云えた
kokoro kara suki yo to ieta
I could just say that I love you from the bottom of my heart
あの 頃 が なつかしくて 何 も かも
ano koro ga natsukashikute nani mo kamo
I miss everything about that time so much
アナタ が いなければ 1 から 10 まで ひとり
anata ga inakereba ichi kara jyuu made hitori
Without you I will be left alone one to ten
言葉 も ない まま に 生きてる
kotoba mo nai mama ni ikirteru
I just live without a word
くり 返す のは ただ lonely play
kuri-kaesu nowa tada lonely play
The only thing I repeat is a lonely play
思いきり 感じた まま に
omoikiri kanjita mama ni
Just as you felt
見せる しぐさ やさしくて
miseru shigusa yasashikute
you showed me such a gentle gesture
言葉 じゃなくて 態度 で
kotoba jyanakute taido de
Not only with words but attitude
分かり 合えて も いた の に
wakari-aete mo ita no ni
we understood each other so well, but
男 の 人 なら 誰 でも
otoko no hito nara dare demo
Any man can
細い 肩 を 抱けば わかる
hosoi kata wo dakeba wakaru
tell if you hold that thin shoulder of hers
夜 が 恐い よな 女 にゃ
yoru ga kowai yona onnanoko nya
A woman who is afraid of nights
それ で いいの よ すべて
sore de iino yo subete
that was all she needed
つらい けど 涙 見せない
tsurai kedo namida misenai
I felt awful but I won't show my tears
雨 の 降る 夜 には ビリージョエル
ame no furu yoru niwa Billy Joel
On a rainy night I listen to Billy Joel
情ない 女 に なって しまいそな 時 には サンバ
nasakenai onna ni natte shimaisona toki niwa Samba
When I felt like I can be such a loser, I listen to Samba
ためいき が 出ちゃうよな 恋
tameiki ga dechau yona koi
The love that makes me sigh
静か に 抱き すくめ られて
shizuka ni daki-sukume rarete
You once held me tight in silence
焼けた 素肌 が 今 でも なつかしい
yaketa suhada ga ima dmo natsukashii
I still miss the memory of burning bare skin
ひとしきり 泣いたら 馬鹿げた 事 ネ と 思う
hitoshikiri naitara bakageta koto ne to omou
After I cry for a while, I came to my senses and felt I was being silly
ピアノ に 問いかけて みた けど
piano ni toikaket mita kedo
and I asked to piano
ピアノ に 問いかけて みた けど
piano ni toikakete mita kedo
and I asked to piano
くり 返す のは ただ
kuri-kasu nowa tada
but the piano only repeats
lonely play lonely play
hitoshikiri naitara bakageta koto ne to omou
After I cry for a while, I came to my senses and felt I was being silly
ピアノ に 問いかけて みた けど
piano ni toikaket mita kedo
and I asked to piano
ピアノ に 問いかけて みた けど
piano ni toikakete mita kedo
and I asked to piano
くり 返す のは ただ
kuri-kasu nowa tada
but the piano only repeats
lonely play lonely play
