Razor Ramon HG, a Japanese comedian, says "say, say, say!" and that means;

1) used for attracting people's attention.

2) used for making somebody stop what they are saying or doing.

3) When he has done something wrong or he think there will be trouble, he says "saaaay!" That means the same as "uh-oh."

There is no "say" in Japanese, and Razor Ramon HG says "say, say, say!" in English.

I don't think you can read Japanese. This English page about Razor Ramon HG, whose real name is Masaki Sumitani, may be suited for you.

It's one of those words that can mean several things.

Possibly you are thinking of sei ("say") in the sense of "nihon sei", which means "Made in Japan".

Or, maybe sei noh ("All together, now!").

It's a long list!
