Translation by Theresa Martin

doko ni iru no chotto hannin-san
kakuretetara TAIHO dekinai ja nai
Where did you go? Wait a minute, Mr. Criminal.
If you hide, I can't arrest you.
iya da wa hazureta MISAIRU de
machijuu anadarake ja nai
o-tsuki-sama ga kaketa no mo
watashi ga utta sei kashira
Oh dear, because of my missiles that missed,
the whole city is full of holes, isn't it.
The moon has waned,
I wonder if it's also because I shot it.
It's a POLICE MAGIC!
If you wanna see me,
You can whistle whenever you want!
It's a POLICE MAGIC!
If you wanna see me,
You can whistle whenever you want!
shimatsusho ga taihen da wa
anata mo issho ni kaite ne
A written apology, good heavens!
Write it with me?
anata donna tsumi o okashita no ka
watashi jitsu wa yoku shiranai n dakedo
What kind of crime did you commit?
'Cause I really don't know very well, but...
ii no yo tsumi ni dai mo shou mo
matsu mo take mo ume mo nai wa
o-sakana kuwaeta NEKO mo
issho ni oi-kakechau kara
It's okay. The crime is not major or minor
not pine nor bamboo nor plum
[not worst nor worse nor bad]*.
I'll also chase
the cat with the fish in its mouth**.
It's a POLICE MAGIC!
If you gonna need me,
You can whistle whenever you want!
It's a POLICE MAGIC!
If you gonna need me,
You can whistle whenever you want!
ara iya da tomaranai wa
oikoshichatta wa mattete ne
What, oh dear, I can't stop.
I've been overtaken. Wait up!
ara ara konna toko ni NEJI ga
hitotsu toreteru wa iya da wa
uchuu no heiwa no tame ni
watakushi kinmuchuu na no ni
Well, well, a screw in a place like this.
One came off, oh dear.
Although I am on the job
for the sake of interstellar peace...
O.K. POLICE MAGIC!
If you wanna see me...
O.K. POLICE MAGIC!
If you wanna see me...
mi-ushitchatta wa...
kaze makase sagashi-dasu wa
uchuu ni kaze nado attakke?...
I've lost sight of him.
I'll leave it to the wind, to search him out.
A wind in space... is there any such thing?...
POLICE MAGIC!
If you wanna see me,
You can whistle whenever you want!
POLICE MAGIC!
If you wanna see me,
You can whistle whenever you want!
makasete ne watashi naraba
sugu kaiketsu yo ne yokatta ne
If you leave it to me,
I'll resolve it soon! All right!

  • Things like meals in a restaurant are sometimes classified as pine, bamboo, and plum, where pine is the best (and most expensive).

  • This is a parody of the first lines of the "Sazae-san" theme, "o-sakana kuwaeta DORA neko wo oi-kakete / HADASHI de kaketeku youki-na SAZAE-san" (Chasing a tiger-striped cat with a fish in its mouth, running barefoot, lively Sazae-san.)
