<ab>Totally pathetic, unreliable.
Known throughout the world for being super weak.
Maybe in ancient times, it was really strong.
That's what the rumors say, but they're probably wrong.
But now it's so weak, the weakest in the land.
So weak that it's sad, really really sad.
The weak Pokémon, that's you, .
But though you are the weakest, still you've won my heart.
Oh, weak Pokémon, my love for you is strong.
Honestly, it's magical, you've survived this long.
All it does is jump and splash, jump and splash around.
It splashes up whole mountains and all the way back down.
Why jump? What's the point when nobody cares?
It uses in battle. Nothing happens.
Jumping and splashing every single day.
Until … carries it away.
The jumping Pokémon, that's you, Magikarp.
Although your moves are pointless, still you've won my heart.
Oh, splashing Pokémon, my love for you is strong.
Honestly, it's magical, you've survived this long.
Wherever you go fishing, it's the first you'll catch.
Even with an Old Rod, you'll soon have quite a batch.
Cast off in a river, or a puddle, or the sea.
Anywhere your hook is, Magikarp will be.
The slightest current will carry it away.
Anyplace the river bends… that's where they all stay.
A nibble on the line… that's you, Magikarp.
Right back in you go, because you've won my heart.
Thought I caught a bite… but it's Magikarp.
I could never eat you… because you've won my heart.
Its form sparkles golden in the light.
But don't be deceived. It's still Magikarp inside.
Evolving into makes it super strong.
Waiting to reach that level takes way too long.
Did you just buy one at the store yesterday?
Sorry, there's no refunds. Please go away.
The pity Pokémon, that's you, Magikarp.
Although they think you're worthless… still you've won my heart.
The pity Pokémon, Magikarp, it's true.
At least your lowly ranking… means nothing to you.
Beloved Pokémon, that's you, Magikarp.
Somehow you've turned weakness into a kind of art.
You're my Pokémon, Magikarp, my dream…
Six matching Magikarp, that'll be my team.
Beloved Pokémon, that's you, Magikarp.
Magical and special, of course you've won my heart.
The greatest Pokémon, Magikarp, it's true.
And that's why I've written this love song just for you!</ab>	<ab>
</ab>	<ab>Unreliable and pathetic
It's infamously feeble
Was it very strong long ago?
There was a rumor about that
But now, it's very weak,
So weak it's tragic
Magikarp, the Weak Pokémon,
Is the world's weakest
Magikarp, the Weak Pokémon
Is too weak that it's shocking
It often jumps and splashes well
It can leap a mountain with Splash
Why does it Splash? What a meaningless splash
It does nothing in battle
Carried away, it continuously jumps
Sometimes snatched away by a Pidgeotto
Magikarp, the Splash Pokémon
Is the world's best splasher
Magikarp, the Splash Pokémon
Is always jumping with a plop
Anywhere and everywhere, it can be caught easily
With an Old Rod, fishing it out again and again
In the sea, in the river, in a dirty pool
It swims anywhere with water
Even in a gentle stream, it floats away
Showing up anywhere in drifts of carps
When you think you've caught a Magikarp
Will you release it? Do it fast?
When you think you've caught a Magikarp
Will you eat it? What nonsense!
Sparkling and gorgeous, that's a Shiny
But in the inside, it's all the same
When it evolves into Gyarados, it'll be super strong
But waiting for it will be super tough
The old man sells it for 500 yen
But refunds aren't happening
Magikarp, the Joke Pokémon
Give it to someone and you'll be booed
Magikarp, the Joke Pokémon
It has never cared its ranking 
Magikarp, my Pokémon
I'll train it as it is
Magikarp, my Pokémon
I'll gather a six of it for battle
Magikarp, everyone loves you
It's the world's most beloved
Magikarp, fall in love with love
I offer this love song to you</ab>
