Favourite Gintama Quote

Nagai koto yami no naka ni aru to,
Medama ni wa utsuran wazuka na hikari sae hiroeru you ni naru.
Soitsu ga ningen no hanatsu mono da to shitta no wa itsu datta ka...
Senkou hanabi no you ni, ningen mo mata kieiku toki,
Hitokiwa ookiku utsukushii hana o sakasu.

Daga, mare ni koitsu o ikinagara ni se ni ou yakara ga iru.
So no hikari wa hidoku fuantei de, kougekiteki de,
Soshite kanashii iro o obiteita.
Shitte ka shirazu ka, so no hikari ni hikare hito ga atsumaru.
Sou, maru de ga no you ni.
Daga, ichido ano hikari o mite, mou yami no naka ni modoru koto wa ore ni mo dekinakatta.

Ore mo rippa na ga da.
Futatabi kagaribi o ushinau koto o osoreru ga.
Soshite hageshiku moeru kagaribi ni nomaremai to hisshi ni aragau ga.
Kagaribi o shishin ni mau ga.
Doko mo ka shikomo ga darake da.

Daga mushikera ni mazatte, myou na no ga ippiki.
Koitsu wa ga nanka ja nai.
Hidoku wakarizurai ga,
tashika ni, wazuka ni hikari ga mieru.
Sou. Tatoeru nara katana.
Saya kara nuki hanatareta hagane no yari.
Surudoku hikaru. Giniro da.

...Daga dou shite kana...
Dou ni mo koitsu no iro wa...
Ki ni iranee!!

<Translation by Rumbel>
After dwelling in darkness for such a long time...
Even a tiny speck of light became visible to me.
I forget when I realized the light come from a human.
Just like fireworks, when a man dies,
...a beautiful flower blooms at that one moment.

However, there are the few who emit this light even as they draw breath.
Their light is unstable, aggressive,
...and is tinged with sadness.
Wittingly or unwittling, the people attracted by this light gathered.
Yes, like moths to a flame.
Even I could no longer return to the darkness once I saw this light.

I'm a wonderful moth, too.
A moth that is afraid of losing the flame it has found.
A moth that desperately struggles to avoid the fiercely burning flame.
A moth that dances around, guided by the flame.
I'm surrounded by moths.

However, there is a strange one among us.
He is not a moth.
Even though it's difficult to tell,
...he, too, emits a tiny speck of light.
Yes, just like a sword.
A steel blade that has been drawn from its scabbard.
A bright, sharp light. Silver in color.

But why is it...
That I can't stand...
The sight of his color!
