Signal
Gintama Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Aa nandodemo sakebu yo
Kimi no namae wo todoku made
Kokoro no hari wo mawase

Nagareteku machi de oitekebori no kokoro
Yuuki no kakera wo itsunomani nakushiteta
Bokura deau toki made
Hitori de ha karete shimau nara

Aa nandodemo sakebu yo
Kimi no namae wo todoku made
Kokoro no hari wo mawase

Harewataru sora ha sunda kokoro no iro to
Kimi ha naiteiru youna egao de sotto
Tereta youni iu kedo

Kimi soso ga kokoro sono mono

Aa nandodemo utau yo
Kimi wo kokoro wo mamoru uta wo
Saa ima koko he oide

Fui ni sabishisa ga osou toki ni ha
Wasurenaide hoshii kono merodii ga
Kimi no soba de narihibiiteiru koto

Aa nandodemo okuru yo
Ima wo ikiteiru shigunaru wo
Kono inochi hateru made

Saa nandodemo korondatteyuku yo




Mogaiteta ano koro no
Kokoro no kane wo narase

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Gintama's song SIGNAL portray the singer's deep desire to communicate with someone special to him, whose name he wants to reach with his voice. He compares the flow of the city's busy streets with his collapsing heart, which lost its pieces of courage over time. Then, he expresses his hope to meet this special person who could revive his shattered spirit. He urges that if he becomes alone, his voice would dry out, and he will keep shouting until she listens to him. The sky's color matches his soul's clarity, and he can see the same in her shining eyes, even if they are filled with tears. He admits that she is the only person holding his heart and people should never forget this melody he creates. He promises to continue singing this song for her until he dies, even if he falls, the sound of his heart will continue to resonate.

I wish I could forget everything and go through the entire series again. The first time around where you still have hundreds of episodes ahead are the best.
