功成身退的伴奏

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’ve traveled each and evry 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,
But 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,
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!

这是Frank Sinatra的成名曲之一,My Way。
每次听都觉得特别适合功成身退者,那种在终点傲立,拍着胸口表示无愧于人的姿态。
虽然固执my way行事似乎有些霸道,但是许多人都视之为原则的表现,这点无可厚非。

听他悲壮式的演绎,禁不住有些感动。
我也要以我的way完成一些事情,一定……

听过张敬轩的《My Way》吗?那也是很感人的一首歌,只是内容不是已经成功了的骄傲,却是努力寻找,自己方向的期待。
