"Le nostre frasi altisonanti,
che pretendono di interpretare la musica,
riescono solo a dipingervi sopra..."

My Way

And now, the end is near;
And so I face the final curtain.
My friend, 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 ev'ry highway;
But 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,
But 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.
And 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,
"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!

Vicenza, 22 maggio 2002, Teatro Olimpico. Rassegna Vicenza Jazz.

In una serata memorabile, Richard Galliano suona le musiche di Astor Piazzolla.
Alla fine, dovrà tornare sul palco per il bis per ben tre volte,
per placare l'entusiasmo del pubblico in visibilio.
Una serata di quelle in cui ti sembra che al mondo
non possa esistere nulla che ne turbi l'armonia.
Un ricordo da mettere tra i cento più memorabili della vita…

"La luna gira intorno al mondo,
e voi dormite..."
