Lyrics translation (English)
Get Pokémon!
Whether in fire, water, grass, forests,
In earth, clouds, or that girl's skirt...
It's very very
Very very hard
But I'll get them without fail!
Get pokémon!
Goodbye to Masara Town...
I'm leaving on a trip with this guy here
We'll win over and over with our skills
Add new friends, and off to the next city (it's waiting)
That things will always go well
Is never guaranteed (That's right!)
But there are some who always live honestly...
These guys!
Whether in fire, water, grass, forests,
In earth, clouds, or that girl's skirt...
It's very very
Very very hard
But I'll get them without fail!
Get pokémon!
I'm tired from battling, Good Night
If I close my eyes it comes back (Pikachu?)
The flames burn and wind dances
And cries ring out from that battle
There's an old saying that yesterday's enemy
Is tomorrow's friend (What do you mean "old"?!)
But today's friends will be my friends tomorrow
And forever and ever
Oh, I long to be a Pokémon Master
I want to be one, I must be one
I WILL become one!
Someone once sang
That dreams eventually become real
But dreams come true in the same way
That a bud blossoms into a flower
That things will always go well
Is never guaranteed (That's right!)
But there are some who always live honestly...
These guys!
Oh, I long to be a Pokémon Master
I want to be one, I must be one
I WILL become one!
Oh, I long to be a Pokémon Master
I want to be one, I must be one
I WILL become one!
