It's so Fly-day, Fly-day Chinatown
It's so Fly-day, Fly-day Chinatown
真夜中の人混みに
In the midnight crowd
It's so Fly-day, Fly-day Chinatown
It's so Fly-day, Fly-day Chinatown
はじけるネオンサイン
Bouncing neon signs
肩にぶつかる外人 ウインクを投げる
A foreigner bumps my shoulder and throws a wink
知らん顔のあなた とまどいのひとコマ
You act all innocent, just a moment of confusion
踊りつかれていても 朝まで遊ぶわ
Even if I'm tired from dancing, I'll play until morning
港の見える場所で 何か飲みたいのよ
In a spot where the harbor is visible, I want something to drink
