In music notation, Dal segno (/ˌdæl ˈseɪnjoʊ/ or /ˈsɛɡnoʊ/; Italian pronunciation: [dal ˈseɲɲo]), often abbreviated D.S., is used as a navigation marker. From Italian for "from the sign," D.S. appears in sheet music and instructs a musician to repeat a passage starting from the sign shown at right, sometimes called the "segno" in English.
Two common variants:
Al segno indicates that the player should go to the sign.
In operas of the 18th century, da segno arias were a common alternative to da capo arias which began with an opening ritornello, which was then omitted in the repeat (the sign being placed after the ritornello).
The Segno sign is encoded in the Musical Symbols block of Unicode as U+1D10B MUSICAL SYMBOL SEGNO:𝄋

In the quiet of the evening
I sing a mournful song
As the night wind blows a low lonesome moan
Oh she left without a warning
My world came tumbling down
Our love ended with the sad heartbreakin' sound
Now the blues are movin' in
I can't help the way I feel
What an awful price for love I've had to pay
Never thought I'd see the day
She'd just up and run away
What a cold world, when the blues are movin' in
I heard her walk across the floor
Heard the closing of the door
And the sound of silence cut me like a knife
She was all that I lived for
And I'll never love again
