Lyrics "My Town, Hodogaya" Lyrics

Yokohama that connects the world
A town seen west of the harbor
The violet flowers are blooming
A flock of duck is coming.
Blessed with rich nature
Our hometown Hodogaya

From the post office on the Tokaido
The history that continues today
Peace and Development of the Town
We wish to create
A town full of dreams and hopes
Hodogaya, which continues to tomorrow.

Katabira River carries a song
Flows with the times
The people who live here
Smiles shine today
Holding your shoulders and holding hands
Everyone's Hodogaya

Happiness of future life
Everybody's Hodogaya
