My Way - nu på Kinesiska

Karaoke, (卡拉OK/KTV) hamnar man på då och då om man umgås med Kineser. Som framgått här och där tidigare i min blogg så är min stående favorit Paul Anka's / Frank Sinatra 's "My Way", som jag ALLTID sjunger i Karaoke sammanhang.

Nyligen så gav sig en av mina bekanta på projektet att försöka göra en Kinesisk version av "My Way", vilket inte är så lätt. Ni som är språkbegåvade nog att kunna världens störta språk får gärna komma med kommentarer på översättningen:

现在,结局已近 (And now, the end is near)

我终于面临最终的谢幕 (And so I face the final curtain)

我的朋友,我会清楚的说出 (My friend, I'll say it clear)

我将会说出那些我确信的经历 (I'll state my case, of which I'm certain)

我度过了充实的一生 (I've lived a life that's full)

我已走过了每一条道路 (I've traveled each and ev'ry highway)

而且更多 更多的是 (And more, much more than this)

我以自己的方式 (I did it my way)

懊悔,我也曾有过 (Regrets, I've had a few)

但再次想起，那些已微不足道 (But then again, too few to mention)

我做着自己想做事 (I did what I had to do)

回首过去,已不想再改变
(And saw it through without exemption)

我计划好每一次的旅程
(I planned each charted course)

谨慎的向前跨出每一步
(Each careful step along the byway)

但更多更多的是
(But more, much more than this)

我以自己的方式 (I did it my way)

的确,我相信你也知道有那么几次
(Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew)

当我承担了超出我所能承的
(When I bit off more than I could chew)

但是从始至终,当这一切还在被质疑
(But through it all, when there was doubt)

我毫不犹豫的坚持着
(I ate it up and spit it out)

我直面一切,傲然挺立
(I faced it all and I stood tall)

依然以我自己的方式 (And did it my way)

我曾爱过,也曾笑过哭过
(I've loved, I've laughed and cried)

我曾志得已满,也曾承受失败 (I've had my fill; my share of losing)

但是现在,当泪水已逝去
(And now, as tears subside)

我才发现这一切原来都是那么有趣
(I find it all so amusing)

回忆起我所做过的一切 (To think I did all that)

我可以毫不愧疚的说
(And may I say - not in a shy way)

不,那不是我 (Oh no, oh no not me)

我行我素 (I did it my way)

作为一个男人,什么才是他拥有的？(For what is a man, what has he got?)

如果不能拥有自我,他将一无所有
(If not himself, then he has naught)

说出他真实的感受
(To say the things he truly feels)

而不是那些虚伪谄媚的言语
(And not the words of one who kneels)

这里记载着我所承受过的一切
(The record shows I took the blows)

我依然我行我素 (And did it my way!)

Jag framför den ENGELSKA versionen av "My Way". Nu för tredje gången i min blogg
