"My town, Hodogaya" Lyrics

Of Yokohama that connects the world
A town on the west side of the harbor
The violet flowers bloom.
A flock of duck is coming
Blessed with rich nature
Our hometown, Hodogaya

From the post town of Tokaido
The history continues today
Peace and Development of the Town
Creating it with us
A town full of dreams and hopes
Hodogaya, which will continue to tomorrow (tomorrow)

Katabira River puts a song
It flows with the times
The people who live here
The smile shines again today
Hold your shoulders and hold hands
Hodogaya of everyone who connects

The happiness of future life
Hodogaya of everyone who builds
