Rica
And now, the end is near
– I awor, e fin ta serka
And so I face the final curtain
– I asina mi ta enfrentá e kurtina final
My friend, I’ll say it clear
– Mi amigu, lo mi bisa esei klaramente
I’ll state my case, of which I’m certain
– Mi ta bai presentá mi kaso, di kua mi ta sigur.
I’ve lived a life that’s full
– Mi a biba un bida kompletu
I traveled each and every highway
– Mi a biaha riba tur kaminda
And more, much more than this
– I mas, hopi mas ku esaki
I did it my way
– Mi a hasié na mi manera
Regrets, I’ve had a few
– Mi a lamentá, mi a haña algun
But then again, too few to mention
– Pero atrobe, masha tiki pa menshoná
I did what I had to do
– Mi a hasi loke mi mester a hasi
And saw it through without exemption
– I el a hasié sin eksepshon
I planned each charted course
– Mi a planea tur curso trahá
Each careful step along the byway
– Tur paso kuidadoso durante e desviashon
And more, much more than this
– I mas, hopi mas ku esaki
I did it my way
– Mi a hasié na mi manera
Yes, there were times, I’m sure you knew
– Si, tabatin momentunan, mi ta sigur ku bo tabata sa
When I bit off more than I could chew
– Ora mi a morde mas ku mi por a mashá
But through it all, when there was doubt
– Pero apesar di tur kos, ora tabatin duda
I ate it up and spit it out
– Mi a kome i spuit e
I faced it all, and I stood tall
– Mi a enfrentá tur kos, i mi a keda para
And did it my way
– I mi a hasié na mi manera
I’ve loved, I’ve laughed and cried
– Mi a stima, mi a hari i a yora
I’ve had my fill, my share of losing
– Mi a keda satisfecho, mi parti di pèrdè
And now, as tears subside
– I awor, mientras lágrima ta baha
I find it all so amusing
– Mi ta haña tur kos asina amüsante
To think I did all that
– Pensa ku mi a hasi tur kos
And may I say, not in a shy way
– I mi por bisa, no den un manera tímido
Oh, no, oh, no, not me
– Oh, no, oh, no, mi no
I did it my way
– Mi a hasié na mi manera
For what is a man, what has he got?
– Pasobra kiko ta un hende, kiko e tin?
If not himself, then he has naught
– Si e no ta su mes, e ora ei e no tin nada
To say the things he truly feels
– Pa bisa e kosnan ku e ta sinti realmente
And not the words of one who kneels
– I no e palabranan di esun ku ta hinka su rudia
The record shows I took the blows
– E registro ta mustra cu mi a ricibi e golpi
And did it my way
– I mi a hasié na mi manera
Yes, it was my way
– Sí, tabata mi manera
