À ma manière [English translation]

With missteps, with wrinkles

Each of us carries their life

Their way

When one is beautiful deep within

One day or another someone sees us

Their way

Even in the rain of bad days

I followed the line of love

My way

For all the grief that I drag

I put my heart in quarantine

My way

My life, my life, I have only one

But I want it free and lawless,

I am entitled to it; it is mine

My life, my life

It tells me stories

But it is worth more than a song

More than the glory

My life is not really my life

It is to those who have chosen me

Their way

Leaving my name in the streets

I put my happiness on top

My way

And the evening when I go,

I will do it finally

My way

I would at the very last call

Bid farewell to the sun

My way

My life, my life, I have only one

But I want it free and lawless,

I am entitled to it; it is mine

My life, my life

It tells me stories

But I do not care, even on my knees

I want to believe

My way.
