The Gintama opening song "Know Know Know" by the band DOES has a fantastic melody and very cool, engaging lyrics. However, I went ahead and wrote new lyrics in English that aren't a translation at all, but are intended to fit the "Farewell Shinsengumi" from the POV of several characters. Redundant perhaps, but I wanted to try it. These are lyrics intended to be sung to the full version of the song, currently available here. The lyrics below are spoilery up till episode 311.
I want this to be singable, and did my best trying to match the song's rhythm to the new lyrics. But this is always subjective. I think the chorus is pretty easy, but for the verses and the break I decided to make it clearer by underlining the most stressed syllables/notes.
(Yes, I removed one of the "Know"s of the chorus (it's four in the original, three here). I couldn't fill out the rest of the line easily otherwise...*^_^*)
I have also post a non-underlined version on Tumblr here.
Suggestions on how to improve this are very welcome! Please tell me if you feel I've messed up grammar or phrasing.
( I'm not positive I got the number of 'Oooh's right every time )
