Anoche volvimos a ir al karaoke Saporo, y fue bonito cantar un par de canciones que las identifico mucho con mi abuelo. En cierta manera cante por el y para el, y no me salió tan mal que digamos. Estos son los temas a los que me refiero:
En mi Viejo San Juan
En mi viejo San Juan
Cuantos sueños forjé
En mis noches de infancia.
Mi primera ilusión
Y mis cuitas de amor
Son recuerdos del alma.
Una tarde me fuí hacia extraña nación
Pues lo quiso el destino.
Pero mi corazón se quedó junto al mar
En mi viejo San Juan.
Borinquen querida
Mi diosa del mar
Me voy pero un día volveré
A buscar mi querer
A soñar otra vez
En mi viejo San Juan.
Pero el tiempo pasó
Y el destino burló
Mi terrible nostálgia.
Y no pude volver
Al San Juan que yo amé
Pedazito de pátria.
Mi cabello blanqueó
Y mi vida se va
Ya la muerte me llama
Y no quiero morir
Alejado de tí
Puerto Rico del alma.
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;
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,
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!
