Translation needed

[panzeleche]

I'm trying to make a complete archive of all versions of the Pokemon theme for the first season. I've got a good amount already, but what I'm missing is mostly translations and lyrics. As such, I turn to this community because it is so awesome (and because I've already asked other people to help and really couldn't find anyone to help except for

The Valencian/Catalan one had lyrics ... I didn't realize it was Valencian until I noticed the pronunciation.

Here's a translation

I will become the best
The best, without a doubt
I always wanted to be a trainer
And now I can begin

I'll travel to any place
Until the last corner of the world
I'll finally be able to reveal
The power of the Pokémon

Pokémon!
Gotta Catch'em all!
Just us 2
My destiny, my mission.
Pokémon
You were my friend
And we have to defend ourselves

Pokémon
Gotta catch'em all! [all]
We'll go all over the world
I'll teach you and you to me
Pokémon. Gotta catch'em all!
Gotta catch'em all! Pokémon!

wow, there's apparently an official Tagalog version. If you find it, I can translate/transcribe it for you.

Finnish

[siirihead]

I'm already feeling it grow,
The power inside me
I'll fulfill my dream
Holding my head up high
From behind the mountain tops
I'm still searching
And I will learn to know
each Pokémon

Pokémon,
We'll catch them all
You just believe it
Together we'll win
Pokémon
You're my friend
You're always beside me

Pokémon
We'll catch them all
When you have the courage
It will be rewarded
Teaching one another
Pokémon

We'll catch them all
We'll catch them all

Always challenging
Each Opponent
I will earn the badge
And fight for victory

So just join my team
We belong together
Let's walk side by side
And into the right direction

Translation of the German version

[lucie_p]

I want to be the very best
Like nobody was before
On my own I'm gonna catch them
I know the danger

I roam the land
I search near and far [for]
The Pokemon to understand
Where it gets this power from

Pokemon! (Come on and catch them!) Just me and you
In everything I do
You, my best friend
Come on let's save the world

Pokemon! (Come on and catch them!) Your heart is true
We trust our courage
I learn from you and you from me
Pokemon! Come on [and] catch them!
Come on and catch them! Pokemon!

No matter how rocky the path
I will put up with it
I want the place that is mine
I'll never give up

Come on, let's show the whole world
That we're friends
Together we'll go into the battle
The best team will win

And there are some small corrections to the German transcription:

...

Pokemon! (Komm schnapp sie dir) Nur ich und durIn allem was ich auch tu

Ok, so I'm assuming that you need all of the lyrics in various languages translated into English.. Is that correct? In that case, here's my shot at the Swedish > English translation:

I plan to be the very best
and build up a team
Because I will seek and capture the most
and train them every day

I shall travel from city to city
after pokémon
So I can see bit by bit
Where the strength comes from

Pokémon (Must capture more)
It's you and me
Together we'll be a team
Pokémon!
Oh, my best friend, we'll protect the world again.

Pokémon! (Must capture more)
Completely okay
We know how one manages to get by

You teach me and I teach you
Pokémon (Must capture more)
I shall capture more
Pokémon!
