Minato Machi Blues

Harbor Town Blues

Looking out at the bay
Today, the clouds seem far away
Returning the night I gave to you
Harbor, harbor, a place to rest
Rain falls down
Flowing tears, bad sake
The taste of a deceived man lingers
Dragging your shadow along with me
Harbor city, Kamaishi
A decisive swamp

The departing boat, a farewell
You can't ride back with me
Behind me, strangers in the sky
Harbor point, a distant shore
If you understand, let’s meet again
The woman’s heart is a tricky game
I don’t need a fancy drink, just want you
Harbor city, Takamatsu
Yahata beach

Calling out to the people nearby
Fingers tracing the spilled sake
In the sea, tears just flow
Harbor Bepu, Nagasaki
Pillow point
The woman’s heart leaves a lingering fire
Burning bright, the cherry blossoms bloom
This is Kagoshima, the end of the journey
Harbor, harbor town
Blues, oh... (BLUES, OH...)
