Translation

The goal of the following translation is to present the meaning of the song in a competent, coherent way. It is not meant to be an English version of the song that can be sung along with the melody.

That one or this one? Which one?
Are you thinking about "Dacchu no" or "Grazie ?"¹
Which one ~ nyo? Which one nyo? Which one which one which one ~ nyo?
Which one ~ nyo? Which one nyo? Which one which one which one ~ nyo?

Nidori~na or Nidori~no?
Chitosan² or Tosakinto?
Do you know the difference between and "sniffing out" and "sniffing"?

Getting pokemon and going to the Champion Road is confusing and complicated,
But it's also fun, right?
Which ocean can you find the blue Karanakushi?
Which one of Hoho's feet is the left one and which is the right one?

Aaaaaaah~ Aaaaaaah~
Aaaaaaaaah~ Ah~ Ah~

Which one ~ nyo? Tamanta or Tamatama?³
Which one ~ nyo? Beadle or Beedle?
Which one ~ nyo? Lapras or Lovecus?
Which one ~ nyo? Mankey or Manmoo?
Which one ~ nyo? Hassamu or Handsome?

Which one ~ nyo? Which one is it today?
Which one ~ nyo? Up or down?
Which one ~ nyo? Left or right?
Which one ~ nyo?
Which one ~ nyo? Which one ~ nyo?

Which one ~ nyo?

¹I really have no idea what this part is supposed to mean. If any of you have any ideas, please let me know.
²The Japanese word for chitosan is kitosan. If you rearrange the letters, you can spell Tosakinto, aka Goldeen's Japanese name.
³In this part of the song, the names of pokemon whose names are only a syllable or two different are contrasted. In a lot of the cases, the comparisons are easier to see when looking at the straight-up romanizations rather than the spellings I use for this site (i.e. Hassamu vs. Hansamu (Handsome)).
