Title 「ポルカ・オ・ドルカ」~ダンス!! ダンス!! ニャース!! ~
Polka O Dolka
Catalog no. ZMCP-1580

Polka O Dolka (Japanese: ポルカ・オ・ドルカ lit. Poruka O Doruka) is the second Japanese ending theme of Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire. It debuted in AG019, replacing Because the Sky is There, and ended in AG044, changing back to the previous song.

The song was heavily featured in the Pikachu short Gotta Dance!!, and was also translated and dubbed in the English dub of the short. The dub lyrics were written by Carter Cathcart.

Synopsis

A song catches the ears of all of Ash, May, Brock, Jessie, and James' Pokémon. Ash's Pokémon are eating, May and Brock's Pokémon are sleeping, and Jessie and James's Pokémon are pushing a statue of Giovanni up a hill. Meowth jumps out a few times before all the Pokémon are shown dancing to the song.

Meowth is relaxing in a hot spring when the water becomes too hot and he jumps out. Then he is shown sitting in front of a Taj Mahal-type building eating curry- he blows fire out his mouth. Then he is sleeping under an Altaria before he polishes the Giovanni statue and falls off.

The group of main Pokémon continue to dance as a Whismur with maracas and a Ludicolo slide past.

Meowth and Pikachu dance together, and the flying main Pokémon move through the air.

Finally, everyone dances again as a Loudred slides past.

ノルカ ソルカ ポルカ おどるか?
となりのアンタも
ノルカ ソルカ ポルカ おどるか?
とっくにおどってるか?

おフロの温度は39度
カレーは中辛 ふとんは羽毛
好みは完ぺき バッチリ・メモリー
お待たせしました
ハイ! ヨロコンデ!!
準備は上々 今夜は最高
ダンスのリズムで
ニャンモ カンモ 忘れて
大騒ぎ!! (ニャー!!)
今日があるから 明日があるのさ
どうせこの世は ホジャラか ホイホイ

ノルカ ソルカ ポルカ おどるか?

Win or lose, will you dance the polka?
You, next to me, too!
Win or lose, will you dance the polka?
Are you already dancing?

The bath is 39 degrees Celsius
The curry is medium spicy and my futon is quilted
These memories are just to my liking
So sorry to keep you waiting!
Yes, it's my pleasure!
The preparations are good, and tonight
With the best dance rhythm
We'll forget about this or that
Just make a racket! (Meow!)
Because today is here, there will be tomorrow
Anyway, the world is bright, hey hey

Win or lose, will you dance the polka?
You, back there, too
Win or lose, will you dance the polka?
Are you dancing as you please?

Win or lose, will you dance the polka?
You, next to me, too!
Win or lose, will you dance the polka?

Slidin' and glidin' through the air!

For turnin' 'round and wakin'

Since everything is lookin' up then let's party down!

Every single Pokémon
That knows what is goin' on
Is there to sing and shake that thing until the break of day, hey!
Check out the way my friends are spinnin',
It keeps us all a-grinnin'
And giddy in a Pokémonic way.
