El fin muy cerca
está, lo afrontaré serenamente,
ya ves, yo he sido así, te lo diré sinceramente
Viví la intensidad y no encontré jamás fronteras
jugué sin descansar y a mi manera.
Jamás viví un
amor que para mí fuera importante
tomé solo la flor y lo mejor de cada instante
Viajé y disfruté, no se si más que otro cualquiera
si bien, todo eso fué a mi manera.
Tal vez lloré,
tal vez reí,
tal vez gané o tal vez perdí
ahora sé que fuí feliz, que si lloré también amé
y todo fué, puedo decir, a mi manera.
Quizás también
dudé cuando mejor me divertía
quizás yo desprecié aquello que no comprendía
hoy sé que infierno fuí y que afronté ser como era
y así logré seguir, a mi manera.
Porque ya sabrás
que el hombre al fin
conocerás por su vivir
no hay porque hablar, ni que decir,
ni recordar, ni hay que fingir
puedo llegar hasta el final, A MI MANERA!!
My Way
And now, the end
is here
And so I face the final curtain
My friend, I'll say it clear
I'll state my case, of which I'm certain
I've lived a life that's full
I traveled each and ev'ry highway
And more, much more than this, I did it my way
Regrets, I've had
a few
But then again, too few to mention
I did what I had to do and saw it through without exemption
I planned each charted course, each careful step along the byway
And more, much more than this, I did it my way
Yes, there were
times, I'm sure you knew
When I bit off more than I could chew
But through it all, when there was doubt
I ate it up and spit it out
I faced it all and I stood tall and did it my way
I've loved, I've
laughed and cried
I've had my fill, my share of losing
And now, as tears subside, I find it all so amusing
To think I did all that
And may I say, not in a shy way,
"Oh, no, oh, no, not me, I did it my way"
For what is a
man, what has he got?
If not himself, then he has naught
To say the things he truly feels and not the words of one who kneels
The record shows I took the blows and did it my way!
Yes, it was my
way
