It's the place where all my dreams began
This is the place where the roads began
Oh, riding on the brand new train
The Negishi Line was when I first met you
A little while was all the time we had
Until the next train makes the platform
Every early morning I was happy to see you
Hoping that the train won't arrive on time
My home town, my home town
Surrounded by the ocean
This is where I was born
Our favorite cafe 'round the corner
The shops we used to go to have disappeared
Traces of the past, the long lost memories of
Yokohama lives inside my heart
My home town, my home town
The years gone by may have changed its face
But I still call this place my home
Oh no, no matter how this place may change
It stays with me wherever I go
All my friends and family, my youthful days
In my life I call it a spacial place
(Way back when and)
Even now when I look over there
By the sunset hill I see it all
The faces that I love
My home town, my home town
Surrounded by the ocean
This is where I was born
(This is there it all began)
My home town, my home town
(This is the place)
No matter how far away I go
And I'll come back again 'cause it's my home
And I'll come back again 'cause it's my home
