近兩個星期已是第三次聽到這道歌了，一次是在船上，堂弟妹說是叔叔最喜歡的歌，第二次是昨晚在「與自己和好」講座中牧者用來作總結的，今早起來又從短訊中收到。這是很多人都喜愛的歌曲，我也不例外，但已很久沒有好好思想其歌詞內容了，忍不住要找出來細嚼。
人生幾十年了，到了退休階段，did I do it my way? Did I do it in God's way? 反思重要，更重要的是規劃前面如何走，以致到人生落幕的那一天，能無愧見主。
《My Way》Frank Sinatra
And now, the end is near;
现在，我的末日将近，
And so I face the final curtain.
面临人生的最后落幕，
My friend, I'll make it clear,
我的朋友，我要说个清楚，
I'll state my case, of which I'm certain.
向你讲述我的人生之路。
I've lived a life that's full.
我活过一个充实的人生，
I've traveled each and every highway;
我经历过每一段路途，
And more, much more I did,
而更重要的是，
I did it my way.
我用自己的方式。
Regrets, I've had a few;
遗憾，也有一些吧，
But then again, too few to mention.
算不上多，不值一提。
I did what I had to do
我做了该做的一切，
And saw it through without exemption.
洞悉世事，不求赦免。
I planned each charted course;
我规划过每一段人生，
Each careful step along the by way,
每一个细微的脚步，
and more, much more than this,
而更重要的是，
I did it my way.
我用自己的方式。
Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew
是的，你知道有些时候，
When I bit off more than I could chew.
我曾背负不能承受之重，
But through it all, when there was doubt,
但自始至终，就算充满疑惑，
I ate it up and spit it out.
我还是克服困难战胜了它。
I faced it all and I stood tall;
我挺直身躯，勇敢面对，
And did it my way.
用我自己的方式。
I’ve loved, I’ve laughed and cried.
我曾经爱过，笑过，哭过，
I’ve had my fill; my share of losing.
我曾经满足，也曾经失落，
And now, as tears subside,
现在，当泪水慢慢沉淀，
I find it all so amusing.
我发现原来可以一笑置之。
To think I did all that;
想到我所做过的一切，
And may I say - not in a shy way,
我可以说，毫不羞愧地说，
No, oh no not me,
我没有虚度，
I did it my way.
我用自己的方式。
现在，我的末日将近，
And so I face the final curtain.
