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.
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,
no, oh no not me,
I did it my way.
And may I say - not in a shy way,
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!
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!
Vertaling
En nu is het einde nabij
Dus zie ik het laatste gordijn naderen
Mijn vriend, ik zal het duidelijk zeggen
Ik zal mijn zaak, waar ik zeker van ben, duidelijk maken
En nu is het einde nabij
Dus zie ik het laatste gordijn naderen
Mijn vriend, ik zal het duidelijk zeggen
Ik zal mijn zaak, waar ik zeker van ben, duidelijk maken
Ik heb een heel leven geleid
Ik heb over elke snelweg gereisd
En nog meer, nog meer dan dit
Heb ik het op mijn eigen manier gedaan
Ik heb over elke snelweg gereisd
En nog meer, nog meer dan dit
Heb ik het op mijn eigen manier gedaan
Spijt, dat heb ik wel ooit gehad
Maar ook weer te weinig om ze op te noemen
Ik deed wat ik moest doen
En had het door zonder vrijstelling
Maar ook weer te weinig om ze op te noemen
Ik deed wat ik moest doen
En had het door zonder vrijstelling
Ik plande elke route naar de hitlijsten
Elke voorzichtige stap over de ventweg
Maar nog meer, nog meer dan dit
Heb ik het op mijn eigen manier gedaan
Elke voorzichtige stap over de ventweg
Maar nog meer, nog meer dan dit
Heb ik het op mijn eigen manier gedaan
Ja, er waren tijden, ik ben er zeker van dat je ze kent
Dat ik meer aanpakte dan ik aankon
Maar ondanks alles, als er twijfel was
Deed ik het toch en maakte het af
Ik ging de confrontatie aan, en bleef sterk
En deed het op mijn manier
Dat ik meer aanpakte dan ik aankon
Maar ondanks alles, als er twijfel was
Deed ik het toch en maakte het af
Ik ging de confrontatie aan, en bleef sterk
En deed het op mijn manier
Ik heb liefgehad, gelachen en gehuild
Ik heb goede dingen meegemaakt, en verliezen
En nu, terwijl de tranen wegtrekken
Vind ik het allemaal zo lachwekkend
Ik heb goede dingen meegemaakt, en verliezen
En nu, terwijl de tranen wegtrekken
Vind ik het allemaal zo lachwekkend
Dat ik denk dat ik dat allemaal heb gedaan
En mag ik misschien zeggen - op een niet verlegen manier
Nee, oh nee, ik niet
Ik heb het op mijn eigen manier gedaan
En mag ik misschien zeggen - op een niet verlegen manier
Nee, oh nee, ik niet
Ik heb het op mijn eigen manier gedaan
Want wat is een man, wat bezit hij
Behalve zichzelf heeft hij helemaal niemand
Omdat de dingen tegen te zeggen die hij echt voelt
En niet de woorden van iemand die knielt
De plaat laat zien dat ik het gedaan heb
En wel op mij eigen manier
Behalve zichzelf heeft hij helemaal niemand
Omdat de dingen tegen te zeggen die hij echt voelt
En niet de woorden van iemand die knielt
De plaat laat zien dat ik het gedaan heb
En wel op mij eigen manier
