Translation of the song 新宿 みなと町 artist Shin'ichi Mori

新宿はみなと町

Shinjuku is a port town

はぐれ者たちが　生きる辛さ

A town where the outcasts

忘れて酒をくみかわす町

Drink together forgetting the pain of living

人を押しのけて生きてゆくより

More than living pushing people aside

安い酒に酔いたいね

I want to get drunk with cheap sake

新宿…　新宿…　新宿みなと町

Shinjuku is a port town

新宿はみなと町

Shinjuku is a port town

心焼き尽(つく)し　背中まるめ

A town where people of round back

見果てぬ夢を語りつぐ町

Who consume their hearts, hand down their impossible dreams

誰もさみしさが苦いのだろう

Loneliness is bitter for anyone?

俺に似てるやつばかり

It's just a guy who looks like me

新宿…　新宿…　新宿みなと町

Shinjuku is a port town

新宿はみなと町

Shinjuku is a port town

旅に出たやつも　流れ者も

A town where wanderers and who left on a trip

いつかはふらり舞いもどる町

Will return someday unexpectedly

生きて行くことは上手(うま)くなくても

Even if it's not easy to live

どこか優しい仲間たち

I have tender friends here

新宿…　新宿…　新宿みなと町

Shinjuku is a port town
