Saga~ Sa-ga~ ... Saga~ Yeaah~

ちきらんちきらんちきらんちきらん

独り　深紅の唇(応)

塗り直した真夜中(応)

今夜は　来る？　来ない？ …乾いてく

何枚花びらちぎって(竜胆　竜胆)

辛抱バラバラなりそう

囚われの道化

ちきらんちきらんちきらんちきらん

少し八方美人ぶる(応)

すぐに立ってる噂(応)

憐れ堕落するなら　その手で奪って

本望(本望)

もう愛憎ぐるぐる堪えようない

憂いで(憂いで)

きなんし

熱く　蝶々乱舞の　焦れったい(呪縛　呪縛　呪縛　呪縛)

赤い　鮮血で結ばれたい(薔薇　荊　荊　荊)

三瀬峠　俵坂(越えて)

地獄だって会いに来て

風　吹かれ　霰　逃れ

来なさい

ちきらんちきらんちきらんちきらん

凡夫闊歩の街中(応)

口説き文句も飛び交い(応)

私だけは伽藍堂　すぐに来て　塞いで

辛いの(辛いの)

そうケンガイはるばる乗り越える

渡来を(渡来を)

お越しやす

涙　繚乱百花の無限大(呪縛　呪縛　呪縛　呪縛)

火照り　永久　葬り去れない(薔薇　荊　荊　荊)

五臓六腑カラカラに(日照り)

枯れる前に潤して

来る　来ない　来る　恋　時雨

ちきらんちきらんちきらんちきらん

止めて　心中願望　洗いたい

呪縛　呪縛　呪縛　呪縛

孤独　連雀　もう報われたい

会いに行けぬ運命(さだめ)なら

時を超えて待ち侘びる

熱く　蝶々乱舞の　焦れったい(呪縛　呪縛　呪縛　呪縛)

赤い　鮮血で結ばれたい(薔薇　荊　荊　荊)

三瀬峠　俵坂(越えて)

地獄だって会いに来て

風　吹かれ　霰　逃れ　来なさい

来る　来ない　来い　来たれ

甘い　未来　永遠に

抱かれ抱いて溺れたい

Saga~ Sa-ga~... Saga~ Yeaah~

 Saga~ Sa-ga~… Saga~ Yeaah~

 Check it out, check it out, check it out, check it out

 One set of crimson lips (yeah)

 Repainted the midnight in deep crimson (yeah)

 Tonight, will you come? Or will you not? I'm drunk in the thought…

 How many flower petals have I plucked? (bellflower bellflower)

 How my patience seems to leave me

 I'm but an imprisoned harlequin

 Check it out, check it out, check it out, check it out

 Putting on airs of being a friend to everyone

 Makes rumors start quickly

 If I'm just going to be deprived in misery, then take me with your hands

 Satisfaction! (Satisfaction!)

 I can't stand the intertwined dance of love and hate

 Pain! (Pain!)

 Oh, what peril

 The jealous dance of a distressed butterfly (magic spell, spell, spell, spell)

 I want you to bind me with your fresh, red blood (rose thorn, thorn, thorn)

 From Mitsuse Pass to Tawarazaka (and beyond)

 Please come see me, even in hell

 Even if the wind blows, and must you escape hails,

 Come to me

 Check it out, check it out, check it out, check it out

 Among the common folk strutting by

 Among the flying sweet nothings

 I am the only one who lives empty; Won't you come and block their noises for me

 It's hard! (hard!)

 I walked over across the country.

 Pay me a visit

 Welcome

 A weeping field of flowers in full bloom (binding spell! Spell! Spell! Spell!)

 The heat of eternal burial that cannot pass (pink thorns! Thorns! Thorns! Thorns!)

 My insides dried up and withered (burning)

 Water me before I wilt

 You will come, you will not come, you will come, you will love, autumn rain

 Check it out, check it out, check it out, check it out

 Stop! I want to wash away our desire to die together

 Binding spell, spell, spell, spell

 A lone songbird, I want to be rewarded

 If I'm not meant to meet you

 Then I will overcome time and see you again

 The jealous dance of a distressed butterfly (magic spell, spell, spell, spell)

 I want you to bind me with your fresh, red blood (rose thorn, thorn, thorn)

 From Mitsuse Pass to Tawarazaka (and beyond)

 Please come see me, even in hell

 Even if the wind blows, and must you escape hails,

 Will you come, or will you not, come here, come now

 To a sweet and distant eternity

 Hold me, embrace me, let me sink in your arms

## Trivia

* The song shows us a setting referring to the '20s and '30s, as evidenced by the group's clothes.
* The choreography is carried out in a characteristic location of the area, the Chikugo River Drawbridge, in Kyushu, Japan.
	+ The bridge, where the video takes place, has a statue of Jofuku in the Saga area, indicating the relationship with Yugiri.
* Saga Jihen's MV should have been shot in February 2019, this can be deduced because the flowers that are seen in the video only bloom in spring.
	+ One of the flowers related to Yugiri is called Sakurasou because the shape of this flower is similar to that of the Japanese cherry tree: “Sakura”—Japanese cherry, “sou”—similar, these flowers have been growing since the Edo period and are quite popular in Japan.
	+ In floral language, its meaning is that of “desire” and “lasting love”.
	+ In floral language, Rindou has a meaning of “Lonely Love”, “Love full of sorrow”, and “Chastity”
* The song is based on 1930s New Orleans Jazz, which was created from the Afro-American culture of triad slaves from Haiti.
