My Way, akhir hidup yang indah

Lagu sebagai karya manusia kadang memang bisa memberikan inspirasi. Sekalipun berasal dari budaya yang berbeda, sebuah lagu bisa menyampaikan gagasan dengan cara yang indah.
Konsep 'kematian yang baik' atau 'mati dalam keadaan yang baik' sudah sering banyak orang Indonesia dengar. Menarik juga mendengar apa yang dilantunkan oleh orang dari budaya yang berbeda tentang hal yang sama.



My Way

Artist: Frank Sinatra

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.
