And now, the end is near
– Agus a-nis tha an deireadh faisg
And so I face the final curtain
– Agus mar sin tha mi an aghaidh a ‘ chùirteir mu dheireadh
My friend, I’ll say it clear
– Uill, innsidh mi sin gu soilleir
I’ll state my case, of which I’m certain
– Bidh mi a ‘ bruidhinn mu dheidhinn, tha mi cinnteach
I’ve lived a life that’s full
– Tha mi air a bhith beò beatha a tha làn
I traveled each and every highway
– Chaidh mi ‘ s gach sràid
And more, much more than this
– Agus mòran a bharrachd na seo-much more than this
I did it my way
– Rinn mi mo shlighe
Regrets, I’ve had a few
– Tha mi duilich, bha beagan agam
But then again, too few to mention
– Ach an uairsin a-rithist, ro bheag airson iomradh
I did what I had to do
– Rinn mi na bha agam ri dhèanamh
And saw it through without exemption
– Agus chunnaic e troimhe gun saoradh
I planned each charted course
– Dhealaich mi gach cùrsa clàraichte
Each careful step along the byway
– Gach ceum faiceallach air an t-slighe
And more, much more than this
– Agus mòran a bharrachd na seo-much more than this
I did it my way
– Rinn mi mo shlighe
Yes, there were times, I’m sure you knew
– Yeah, bha amannan ann, tha mi cinnteach gu robh fios agad
When I bit off more than I could chew
– Nuair a tha mi beagan nas motha na b ‘ urrainn dhomh a chagnadh
But through it all, when there was doubt
– Ach tro na h-uile, nuair a bha teagamh ann
I ate it up and spit it out
– Dh’ith mi suas e, agus thilg mi mach e
I faced it all, and I stood tall
– Aghaidh uile, agus sheas mi gu h-àrd
And did it my way
– Agus rinn e mo shlighe
I’ve loved, I’ve laughed and cried
– Tha mi a ‘ dèanamh gaol agus laughing
I’ve had my fill, my share of losing
– Fhuair mi mo chuid, mo chuid a chailleadh
And now, as tears subside
– Agus a-nis, mar a bhios deòir a ‘ dol fodha
I find it all so amusing
– Tha a h-uile rud cho spòrsail
To think I did all that
– A ‘ smaoineachadh gun do rinn mi sin uile
And may I say, not in a shy way
– Agus is dòcha gun can mi, chan ann ann an dòigh diùid
Oh, no, oh, no, not me
– Cha cha cha, no me
I did it my way
– Rinn mi mo shlighe
For what is a man, what has he got?
– Dè a th ‘ann an duine, dè a th’ ann an duine?
If not himself, then he has naught
– Mura h-eil e fhèin, tha e air a bhith
To say the things he truly feels
– Ag innse mu rudan a thachair dha-rìribh
And not the words of one who kneels
– ‘S cha’ n ‘eil briathran duine’ g an glùinean
The record shows I took the blows
– Tha an clàr a ‘ sealltainn gun do ghabh mi na buillean
And did it my way
– Agus rinn e mo shlighe
Yes, it was my way
– Bha e na mo shlighe
