The end is very near
I will face it serenely
You see already I have done so
I will tell you sincerely
I lived the intensity
And never met frontiers
I played, without rest
My way
I never experienced a love
That for me, was important
I took only the cream and the best
Of every moment
I travelled and enjoyed
I don’t know any other way
If good everything was done my way
Perhaps I cried, perhaps I laughed
Perhaps I won, perhaps I lost
Now I know that I was happy
That if I cried I also loved
And everything was done I can say
I did it my way
Perhaps, I also doubted
When better I enjoyed myself
Perhaps I despised
That which I didn’t understand
Today, I know that I was steady
I faced up to what I was
and thus I could follow my way
Because you'll learn that at the end, you'll know a man by the way he lives
There's no reason for speaking, or anything to say, or remember, or reason for pretending
I can make it to the end
I did it my way
