My Way - Frank Sinatra


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 ev'ry 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
I 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
M
ore 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 laughed and cried
I 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 truly 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...

El final ya está cerca
Y enfrento el último telón
Amigo, lo diré sin vueltas
Hablaré de mi caso del cual sé mucho
Tuve una vida satisfactoria
Recorrí todos y cada uno de los caminos

Y más, mucho más aún,

Lo hice todo a mi manera...

Tristezas, algunas tuve
Que no vale la pena comentar
Hice lo que debía
Me aseguré que fuera sin privilegios,
Planeé cada etapa programada,
Cada cuidadoso paso dado en mi camino
Y más, mucho más aún,
Lo hice todo a mi manera...

Así es, hubo momentos,
Estoy seguro que lo sabes,
En que di pasos
Más largos que mis piernas
Pero al final,
Ante la duda
Tragué mis palabras, también las dije
Afronté los hechos y me mantuve intacto
Y lo hice todo a mi manera...

Amé, reí y sufrí
Me tocó ganar, también perder
Y ahora, cuando las lágrimas ceden,
Me resulta tan entretenido
Pensar que lo hice todo
Déjenme decirlo, sin timidez,
"Oh no, Oh no fue mi caso,
Yo lo hice todo a mi manera".

Pues qué es un hombre, ¿qué ha logrado?
Si no es fiel a sí mismo, no tiene nada.
Decir las cosas que siente realmente
Y no las palabras de quien se arrodilla
Mi historia muestra que asumí los golpes
Y lo hice todo a mi manera...

Sí... fue a mi manera

Candle In the Wind: Elton John



Goodbye Norma Jean
Though I never knew you at all
You had the grace to hold yourself
While those around you crawled
They crawled out of the woodwork
And they whispered into your brain
They set you on the treadmill
And they made you change your name

CHORUS:
And it seems to me you lived your life
Like a candle in the wind.
Never knowing who to cling to
When the rain set in.
I would have liked to have known you
But I was just a kid.
Your candle burned out long before
Your legend ever did.

Loneliness was tough
The toughest role you ever played
Hollywood created a superstar
And pain was the price you paid
Even when you died
All the press still hounded you
All the papers had to say
was that Marilyn was found in the nude

And it seems to me you lived your life
Like a candle in the wind.
Never knowing who to cling to
When the rain set in.
I would have liked to have known you
But I was just a kid.
Your candle burned out long before
Your legend ever did.

Goodbye Norma Jean
Though I never knew you at all
You had the grace to hold yourself
While those around you crawled

Goodbye Norma Jean
From the young man in the 22nd row
Who sees you as something more than sexual
More than just our Marilyn Monroe

And it seems to me you lived your life
Like a candle in the wind.
Never knowing who to cling to
When the rain set in.
I would have liked to have known you
But I was just a kid.
Your candle burned out long before
Your legend ever did.

Your candle burned out long before
your legend ever did.

Your Song: Elton John


It's a little bit funny this feeling inside
I'm not one of those who can easily hide
I don't have much money but boy if I did
I'd buy a big house where we both could live

If I was a sculptor, but then again, no
Or a man who makes potions in a travelling show
I know it's not much but it's the best I can do
My gift is my song and this one's for you

And you can tell everybody this is your song
It may be quite simple but now that it's done
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind that I put down in words
How wonderful life is while you're in the world

I sat on the roof and kicked off the moss
Well a few of the verses well they've got me quite cross
But the sun's been quite kind while I wrote this song
It's for people like you that keep it turned on

So excuse me forgetting but these things I do
You see I've forgotten if they're green or they're blue
Anyway the thing is what I really mean
Yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen
