bPonyo on the Cliff/b
Seaweeds waving gently,
in the big blue sea
Together with countless siblings
Bubbles is our language
Remember, long time ago
Cruising with you on the big blue sea
Jellyfish and sea urchin,
fishes and crabs
We are a big family

Sosuke, we're getting late.
Risa, goldfish still alive.
Goldfish?
I found it at the seaside.
I see...
Although I don't know you,
But please don't spray pesticide here.
Oh, this is not pesticide.
This is deep sea water to avoid dehydration.
Good, as long as it's not poisonous.
Excuse me.
Oh no, it's getting worse.
What a strange guy.
Don't be mean, Sosuke.
Don't judge a book by it's cover.
I won't.
Bringing it to the kindergarten?

No problem, I'll protect it.
So cute.
Ship is leaving.
Sosuke, eat this.
Do you eat this?

Oh, the cut is gone.

And she know magic.
After she lick it, the wound disapeared.

Just like you.

Goldfishes at my home are more beautiful.
It's Kumiko fault.
Is her fault to say something bad about Ponyo.
I'll help you to change the water.
Oh.

That's great.
Isn't that little Sosuke voice?
Sosuke should be in the kindergarten.

Oh, disgusting.

Quickly return it to the sea.

That's why she must return to the sea.
That Mr. Pesticide is suspicious.
Give me a bite.
Come, let me try
Quite tasty.
Cheer up a bit.

No way...
Danger danger...
Barrier to stop crabs is failing.
Almost disrupt the balance of nature.
Cool down, cool down.
I get a bad feeling everytime when
going to meet 'that person'.
Oh no, oh no.
Yet to finish cleaning up.
It doesn't get weak here. (the barrier)
So hard to open it.
Need to come and fix it later.
Can't let even one sea creature enter here.
Else will be big trouble.
Well-done.
Power of sea spreading to every corner.
When this well filled up.
The time of the sea will arrive.
The end of those dangerous creatures.
