My Way

79 translations / 46 translations of covers

English

And now, the end is near,

And so I face the final curtain

My friend, I’ll say it clear1,

I’ll state my case of which I’m certain:

I’ve lived a life that’s full,

I’ve traveled each and every 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 chartered 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

1. Depending on the version, this line can also be: My friend, I’ll say it here or My friend, I’ll make it clear

Submitter's comments:

“My Way” is a song popularized in 1969 by Frank Sinatra. Its lyrics were written by Paul Anka and set to the music of the French song “Comme d’habitude” co-composed and co-written (with Jacques Revaux), and performed in 1967 by Claude François. Anka’s English lyrics are unrelated to the original French song.

Writer(s): Gilles Thibaut, Claude Francois, Jacques Revaux, Paul Anka

You asked for a translation in "Ancien français".
I'm sorry to let you know that this request can't be fulfilled, since this older form of language is completely extinct: it is still understood, but nobody is able to speak or write it.
