And now, the end is near 00:06

And so I face the final curtain 00:11

My friend, I'll say it clear 00:18

I'll state my case, of which I'm certain 00:24

I've lived a life that's full 00:31

I traveled each and every highway 00:37

And more, much more than this 00:43

I did it my way 00:49

Regrets, I've had a few 00:56

But then again, too few to mention 01:01

I did what I had to do 01:08

And saw it through without exemption 01:14

I planned each charted course 01:21

Each careful step along the byway 01:26

And more, much more than this 01:33

I did it my way 01:38

Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew 01:45

When I bit off more than I could chew 01:52

But through it all, when there was doubt 01:58

I ate it up and spit it out 02:04

I faced it all, and I stood tall 02:10

And did it my way 02:17

I've loved, I've laughed and cried 02:23

I've had my fill, my share of losing 02:29

And now, as tears subside 02:36

I find it all so amusing 02:42

To think I did all that 02:48

And may I say, not in a shy way 02:54

Oh, no, oh, no, not me 03:01

I did it my way 03:07

For what is a man, what has he got? 03:13

If not himself, then he has naught 03:20

To say the things he truly feels 03:26

And not the words of one who kneels 03:33

The record shows I took the blows 03:39

And did it my way 03:46

Lyrics:

[English]

And now, the end is near

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 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 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
