Esta melodia se llama "My Way" y tiene una historia curiosa.
La cancion; por decirlo asi; original se llama Comme d'habitude, y fue escrita por Claude François y Jacques Revaux con letras en francés por Claude François y Gilles Thibaut, despues fue adaptada al ingles por Paul Anka.
La version "My Way" apenas conserva la melodia de la version francesa, pues la letra fue cambiada totalmente, Su primera interpretacion fue por Frank Sinatra en el '69, y se convirtió en la canción por la cual es reconocido el mismo.
Lo curioso es la cantidad de veces que ha sido interpretada por diferentes personalidades y agrupaciones, entre las que se pueden destacar Radiohead, Aretha Franklin, Paul Anka, Richard Clayderman, Celine Dion, Vicente Fernández, Luciano Pavarotti, The Sex Pistols y muchos otros.
No siendo mas, dejo la letra, que es a mi opinion lo mas destacable de la cancion, espero la disfruten.
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 travelled 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 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
But 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 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
Yes, it was my way.
