Kagome Kagome

Kagome Kagome

Kagome, kagome (かごめかごめ) is a Japanese children's game. One child is chosen as the "oni" (literally "demon or ogre", but translates in games as "it") and sits blindfolded (or with his eyes covered). The other children join hands and walk in circles around the "oni" while chanting the song for the game. When the song stops, the "oni" speaks aloud the name of the person behind him, and if he is correct, that person will exchange places with the "oni".

Kyo, the lead singer from Dir En Grey, also made a popular song ( "Shokubeni") based on this children's nursery rhyme, and themed it to the band's style.

Lyrics

style="border: 1px solid #2f6fab;" | Translation:

Kagome, Kagome, the bird in the cage,
when will you come out?
In the evening of the dawn,
the crane and turtle slipped.
Who stands right behind you now?
Sometimes the last few lines are translated literally as the following:
At dawns and evenings.
Who is in front of the back,
where a crane and turtle slipped and fell?

A version heard on Tactics(anime/manga)
Episode 3: The Mountain's Fairy tale
Kagome Kagome
crouch little bird inside your cage,
when oh when will he get out?
Up before the light of dawn.
Crane and turtle slipped and fell,
who is behind you can you tell?

A version used in Descendants of Darkness, Volume 11.
Kagome, Kagome,
When will the bird come out of its cage?
The turtle and the crane slipped out at dawn
Who's that behind you?
