lyrics

★in Japanese

姑獲鳥の咽ぶ　背中に妖した血飲み児や
メ隠し口の　蓋切り吾目玉返しや

庄屋の娘が　めとり地蔵に置いてった
よもつへぐいし　鬼さん此方　手の哭る方へ


聞けば聲を取り　見らば貌を取る
呼べば諱を取り　封切り天魂返しや

常世と現し世　逆さ屏風の透き間から
黄泉比良坂の　鬼さん此方　手の哭る方へ

★in English

Ubume(the japanese ghost) is crying
for a baby who drink blood on her back
cut off the cover and get back the eyeball that was hiden in the baby's mouth instead of candy

there is the meal for the dead man
that was put on the front of Jizo that steal eyeball
by the daughter of Shoya(the village headman)

do the Yomotsuhegui(the japanese spiritual culture; if you eat the meal of the dead man, you will be taked to the netherworld too)
and you will become the Oni(the japanese ghost)
come here with the help of the clapping sounds


If you hear it, there will be the voice
If you look it, there will be the form
If you call it, there will be the name
take off the seal and the ghost will return from the world of the dead

There is the crevice of Sakasa-Byōbu(japanese culture; Byōbu the folding partition that is put upside down to mourn for dead man) that divides the world of the dead and the world of present
you'll be from the Yomotsuhirasaka(the world of the dead)
come here with the help of the clapping sounds
