My Way這首歌原先是創作於1967年的一首法文歌曲,由Paul Anka填上英文歌詞。由於寓意深刻打動人心,先後有不少重量級歌手翻唱,特別是在1969年由Frank Sinatra演唱,並成為勵志電影「奪標」的主題曲後廣為人知。這首歌也是貓王最愛表演的作品之一。歌詞描述一位有成就的人士,回顧自己的過去,細數自己如何果敢、堅強地面對一切挑戰,而仍能堅持自己的路,活過精彩的人生,不留下一絲悔恨的豪氣。
在許多人達成一生重大成就之際、或是重量級人物人生的盡頭,都會演出或播放這首曲子。本曲是英美流行歌曲中,傳唱度名列前茅的歌曲之一。

My Way, by Paul Anka
And now, the end is near And so I face the final curtain My friends, I’ll say it clear I’ll state my case of which I’m certain I’ve lived a life that’s full I’ve 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 much more than I could chew But through it all, when there was doubt I ate it up and I 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 not , 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 I did it my way |
如今,結局已近 於是我面對最後的一幕 朋友們,讓我說清楚 我要肯定地為自己下註腳 我已經活了充實的一生, 我走過所有的大道 但更重要,更重要的是 我走的是自己的路 懊悔?是有過一些 不過,沒有多少值得一提 我只是做我應做的 順其自然,不求倖免 我詳細計畫每一條路線 沿著路徑謹慎的踏出每一步 但更重要,更重要的是 我走的是自己的路 是的,曾經有那麼幾次,我相信你也知道 , 我攬下超出能力的分量 但經過一切之後,有疑慮時 我依然打落牙齒和血吞 我挺直腰面對一切 走自己的路 我曾愛過,也曾過笑過、哭過 我曾志得意滿,也曾嚐過失敗 如今,淚痕已乾 我覺得一切都好有趣 回想我所做的一切 請容我大言不慚的說 噢!不!我可不一樣 我走的是自己的路 因為,甚麼是男子漢? 他該擁有甚麼? , 如果不能擁有他的自我,還能有些甚麼? , 說出他真摯的感受 而不是卑躬屈膝的語言 紀錄顯示,我承受一切打擊 走自己的路 我走的是自己的路 |
