"Yuuwaku joutou don to koi　Ichizuzamurai koko ni kenzan!"
Furin da no uwaki da no
Eekagen ni shiyashanse
Daiji na hito　ichizu ni
Aishite kudashanse
Nannin da nanjuunin da
Hikerakasu yakara wa
Enma-dono ni mukarete
Jigoku ni ochiru ga ii
"Otoko wa monmon　monshirochou　kafun maku sadame sa"
Sonna temee tsugou no 
Iiwake wa yurushashinee
Kochira no mizu ga amakarou ga 
Achira no mitsu ga umakarou ga
Suwarete momarete nani wo sarete mo　yuruganu junjou
Yuuwaku joutou　donto koi ore wa　ichizuzamurai
Ore datte bonnou ni
Makesou na hi mo aru sa
Soredemo shinjou magezu ni
Gutto koraete　gamanjiru
Sukiyaki mo mainichi ja akiru kara
Tama ni wa tsumamigui shitai　nante......
Jigoku ni ochireba ii!!
"Sou iya kon'ya no bijo darake no utage　omae mo kuru kai?
Sonna fujun-mamire no　gyouji nado okotowari!
Shuchi-nikurin no enkai wa
Asa made donchan　tsuzuitasou na
Urayamashiku nado nai zo! Hontou sa! Misero konjou
Katana nukazu ni teki wo kire　ore wa nukazuzamurai
(Yamero! Yametekure! Ore wa ichizuzamurai
Dousureba ii? Kotae wa docchi da? Osaekirenai
Ore ga, ore ga dashitai kotae wa)
Utagai hitotsu mo　kageri hitotsu mo nai
Junsui na aijou wo　ano hito ni sasagetai kara
Kochira-sama no mizu ga amakarou ga
Achira-sama no mitsu ga umakarou ga
Suwarete momarete nani wo sarete mo　yuruganu junjou
Yuuwaku joutou　don to koi　ore wa ichizuzamurai

Kiryu: We're gonna rock the mic
You won't see me come to debase you
A truehearted samurai is here now to grace you! 
Do I stay at home and stand against the flow
Or sell my soul in places I don't know?
Though evening comes to spirit me away
Love is what I cherish in the day
A man gets drunk and merrily he sings
Of every vice and every sinful thing
Does he not ring his own death knell
And pave a lonely road to hell?
How many men, again, pretend, it never ends
"Lust is just the way that humans tend"
So, ma'am, if he won't treat you right
Toss his ass out in the streets tonight
While the wine may taste divine, I'll be staying dry
For I would rather die, than live another lie
And don't mistake me, I bend
But you will never break me, my flaws are undenied
So I keep my head up and will never let up, I am a 
Truehearted samurai!

"Temptation strikes again... Bring it on! A truehearted samurai has come!"
The adultery, the cheating...
Enough of it all!
Show your loved ones
your unfaltering love
How many people, how many dozens of people
flaunt themselves
They will all be punished by the Yama,
doomed to hell
"Man can't help it, scattering their pollen like butterflies, it's their fate"
Those self-serving excuses
will never be accepted
Though the water be sweet here,
though the honey be divine there,
No matter how much they suck me, how much they rub me,
no matter what they do, I remain pure of heart
Temptation strikes again... Bring it on, I'm a
Truehearted samurai
There are days where
I almost find myself succumbing to my material desires
But I must stick to my creed
Holding tight, resisting the urge, holding myself back
Those who get sick of sukiyaki every day
and try to grab more than their fair share
can go to hell!
"Why don't you come with me to tonight's banquet with all these beautiful women?"
I would never subject myself
to such a tainted event!
The party went on for hours
till the crack of dawn, or so I hear
You think I'm jealous? Seriously, I don't care! Show me what you're made of
Try cutting down enemies without your sword for once; I'm a purehearted samurai
(Stop it... Stop it already! I'm a truehearted samurai
What should I do? What should I say? I can't take it anymore
This... this is my answer!)
Without a doubt, without a shadow of a doubt
I want to save my true love for that one special someone
So, though the water be sweet here
though the honey be divine there
No matter how much they suck me, how much they rub me,
no matter what they do, I remain pure of heart
Temptation strikes again... Bring it on, I'm a
Truehearted samurai
