My way
Мой путь
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 [bad word] 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
