El fin muy cerca está, lo afrontaré serenamente,
ya ves, yo he sido así, te lo diré sinceramente
Viví la intensidad y no encontré jamás fronteras
jugué sin descansar y a mi manera.

Jamás viví un amor que para mí fuera importante
tomé solo la flor y lo mejor de cada instante
Viajé y [bad word] , no se si más que otro cualquiera
si bien, todo eso fué a mi manera.

Tal vez lloré, tal vez reí,
tal vez gané o tal vez perdí
ahora sé que fuí feliz, que si lloré también amé
y todo fué, puedo decir, a mi manera.

Quizás también dudé cuando mejor me divertía
quizás yo desprecié aquello que [bad word] a
hoy sé que infierno fuí y que afronté [bad word] era
y así logré seguir, a mi manera.

Porque ya sabrás que el hombre al fin
conocerás por su vivir
no hay porque hablar, ni que decir,
ni recordar, ni hay que fingir
puedo llegar hasta el final, MI MANERA!!

And now, the end is near,
And so I face the final curtain,
My friend. I'll say it clear,
I'll stay 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 [bad word] 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 [bad word] 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,
"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 [bad word] feels;
And not the words of one who kneels.
The record shows I took the blows -
And did it my way!
