maaya sakamoto lyrics & translation
Guitar Hiki ni Naritai na / I Want to be a Guitar Player
Kazeyomi

umarekawatta nara gitaa hiki ni naritai na
dokoka no machi no sumi de kyou no koto utau kara

moshi ki ni naru merodi futo kikoete kitara

ashi o tome kiite 

aa umarekawatte mo
anata o mitsukeraretara ii na

aikotoba wa nani?

nee sugata katachi kawatte shimatte mo
watashi da to kitto kidzuite
If I’m reborn, I want to be a guitar player
Because I’d sing about today on some street corner


If you happen to suddenly hear a melody that’s been on your mind
Stop and listen


Oh, even if I were reborn
I’d love to be able to find you


What’s the password?

Hey, even if my shape and form change completely
Recognize me as myself without fail

Maaya's liner notes: “I Want to be a Guitar Player” is peaceful. It’s quiet and calm. You feel it in your skin’s temperature. Though there are lots of big grand songs too, I don’t want to forget the feeling of living every day ’til the bitter end, so that’s why I wanted to close the album this way.
