不知道有多少朋友和我一样喜欢Sinatra的这首歌,事实上不知道有多少人喜欢Sinatra。 有一次偶然在网上读到一篇文章,说Sinatra同志是自私的典型,而且点名道姓批判“My Way” 是他自私自利的极端泛滥。 看过以后好久缓不过劲儿来,没想到美国也有人喜欢上纲上线,而这个上纲上线得实在离谱太远,老Frank最多就是自由散漫随心所欲,没有损人利己,如何能叫“自私”呢?真是怪胎。
这首歌, 喜欢它的歌词,几乎喜欢歌词里的每一句 (谢谢 Paul Anka)。 感觉歌词是为Sinatra 定身度作,精确到位地表达了他的人生态度与言行轨迹, 同时也道出了我自己的人生期望:在不compromise 正直,善良,高尚等为人处事基本原则的前提下,当我的人生快到尽头时,再回首,希望自己可以毫无遗憾地对自己对大家说这几句:
Regrets, I've had a few, but then again, too few to mention. I've lived a life that is full. 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. When I bit off more than I could chew.....I faced it all and I stood tall. I took the blows and did it my way.
此生无憾!
附歌词
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 traveled 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. Let the record show I took the blows And did it my way. Yes, it was my way. |
