lyrics

[ENGLISH TRANSLATION]
From a long time ago, there was a game called “buusaa”
Everyone, from kids to adults can play.
This is one type of hand game,
But it only uses three fingers

[CHORUS:]
Instead of rock, paper, and scissors, (buu-saa-sshi)
What everyone says is “buu-saa-sshi” (buu-saa-sshi)
Instead of rock, paper, and scissors, (buu-saa-sshi)
If there’s something you can’t decide on, play buusaa

The thumb is “buu”. The pointer finger is “saa”. The pinky finger is “sshi”, simple, right?
The thumb is “buu”. The pointer finger is “saa”. The pinky finger is “sshi”, and the rules are:
The thumb beats the pointer, but the pinky loses to the pointer.
The pinky beats the thumb, but if you throw the same finger, you have to do it one more time!
