Frank Sinatra《My Way》 Royal Festival Hall 1970
My Way
Frank Sinatra1970年在伦敦皇家节日音乐厅(Royal Festival Hall)的现场表演
演唱:Frank Sinatra
And now, the end is near;
现在,我的末日将近,
And so I face the final curtain.
面临人生的最后落幕,
My friend, I'll make it clear,
我的朋友,我要说个清楚,
I'll state my case, of which I'm certain.
向你讲述我的人生之路。
I've lived a life that's full.
我活过一个充实的人生,
I've traveled each and every highway;
我经历过每一段路途,
And more, much more than this,
更重要的是,
I did it my way.
用我自己的方式。
Regrets, I've had a few;
遗憾,也有一些吧,
But then again, too few to mention.
算不上多,不值一提。
I did what I had to do
我做了该做的一切,
And saw it through without exemption.
洞悉世事,不求赦免。
I planned each charted course;
我规划过每一段人生,
Each careful step along the byway,
每一个细微的脚步,
and more, much more than this,
更重要的是,
I did it my way.
用我自己的方式。
Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew
是的,你知道有些时候,
When I bit off more than I could chew.
我曾背负不能承受之重,
But through it all, when there was doubt,
但自始至终,就算充满疑惑,
I ate it up and spit it out.
我还是克服困难战胜了它。
I faced it all and I stood tall;
我挺直身躯,勇敢面对,
And did it my way.
用我自己的方式。
I've loved, I've laughed and cried.
我曾经爱过,笑过,哭过,
I've had my fill; my share of losing.
我曾经满足,也曾经失落,
And now, as tears subside,
现在,当泪水干涸,
I find it all so amusing.
我发现原来都可以一笑置之。
To think I did all that;
想到我所做过的一切,
And may I say - not in a shy way,
我可以说,毫不羞愧地说,
No, oh no not me,
我没有虚度,
I did it my way.
用我自己的方式。
For what is a man, what has he got?
男人究竟是什么,拥有什么?
If not himself, then he has naught.
除了自己,我们一无所有。
To say the things he truly feels;
说出心里最真实的感受,
And not the words of one who kneels.
而不是那些身不由己的话。
The record shows I took the blows -
时间证明,我经受住了磨难,
And did it my way!
用我自己的方式!
Yes, it was my way.
没错,这就是我的方式。

他的眼光仿佛常躲在耷拉地眼皮下面,仿佛陷入沉思,时而醒转,仿佛穿透观众和舞台,看到了自己年轻时的风光与荣耀,作为黑手党在好莱坞的小太保,拥有自己的唱片公司,在自己的赌场里和朋友们花天酒地,与肯尼迪称兄道弟的黄金岁月。
而好日子一去不复返,随着时间流逝,Sinatra越老他唱这首歌也越让人觉得沧桑感伤,我猜他越来越不想唱这首为自己量身定做的这首代表作了。

他已经明显老朽了,苍老虚弱,必须倚靠着一把高脚凳,无法独立站着演唱了。
