M A R I L Y N M O N R O E MY WAY Frank Sinatra A MODO MIO And so I face the final curtain ed io fronteggio l'ultimo sipario My friend, I'll say it clear amico mio, lo dirai chiaramente I'll state my case, of which I'm certain chiarirrò la mia situazione, per la quale non nutro alcun dubbio I've lived a life that's full Ho vissuto una vita piena I did it my way Lo feci a modo mio Regrets, I've had a few Rimpianti, ne ho avuti pochi I did what I had to do Feci quello che dovevo fare And saw it through without exemption e senza nessuna esclusione I planned each charted course pianificai ogni percorso tracciato Each careful step along the byway, ogni passo prudente lungo la scorciatoia And more, much more than this, e in più, molto di più I did it my way Lo feci a modo mio Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew Si, ci furono delle volte, sono sicuro che tu hai saputo When I bit off more than I could chew. Che morsi più di quello che avrei potuto masticare But through it all, when there was doubt, ma nonostante tutto, quando ci fu un dubbio I ate it up and spit it out lo mangiai e lo sputai I faced it all and I stood tall; And did it my way. fronteggiai tutto ciò e lo feci a modo mio I've loved, I've laughed and cried Ho amato, ho riso e pianto. I've had my fill; my share of losing ho avuto le mie soddisfazioni e la mia parte di sconfitte And now, as tears subside, I find it all so amusing. ed ora che scendono le lacrime trovo tutto così divertente To think I did all that; And may I say - not in a shy way pensare di aver fatto tutto ciò e poter dire - non timidamente “Oh no, oh no not me, I did it my way“ "No, oh no, non io Io lo feci a modo mio" For what is a man, what has he got? Perchè cos'è un uomo, cosa ha ottenuto? To say the things he truly feels; Dire le cose che sente veramente And not the words of one who kneels e non le parole di un uomo che si inginocchia The record shows I took the blows And did it my way! Il passato mostra che presi i miei colpi e che lo feci a modo mio! MY WAY 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've 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, than he has naugth 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
