Their first album was "Los Piratas", a live record, followed by "Quiero hacerte gritar", their first studio album. Later on they would release "Poligamia" and "Manual para los fieles". Their next album, "Fin de la primera parte" (end of the first part), was a special album that recapped their best songs and marked a changed towards much more complex style.
After this came "Ultrasónica" (later re-released with an extra disc of rarities titled "Sesiones perdidas") and their last studio album, "Relax", re-released again later on with three rarities discs: "Inerte", "Respuestas" and "Dinero".
Their last album was recorded during their last concert in Madrid, and was called "Fin de la segunda parte" (end of second part), thus completing the circle and their career.
They split up in 2004. Iván Ferreiro and Alfonso Román (Fon Roman) started their own solo career.
My Way
Los Piratas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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 every highway
Oh, and more, much more than this
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
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
"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
The record shows I took the blows
And did it my way

And now, the end is near
I am reaching the end of my life
And so I face the final curtain
I have come to accept my fate
My friend, I'll say it clear
I am being honest with you
I'll state my case, of which I'm certain
I will express my convictions
I've lived a life that's full
I have lived my life to the fullest
I've traveled each and every highway
I have explored all possibilities
Oh, and more, much more than this
And there was much more to it
I did it my way
I did it on my own terms
Regrets, I've had a few
I have a few regrets
But then again, too few to mention
But not enough to bother listing
I did what I had to do
I did what needed to be done
And saw it through without exemption
And I followed through with determination
I planned each charted course
I carefully planned my life
Each careful step along the byway
I was cautious in my decisions
But more, much more than this
But there was much more to it
I did it my way
I did it on my own terms
Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew
I faced challenging times
When I bit off more than I could chew
When I took on more than I could handle
But through it all, when there was doubt
But despite it all, when I doubted myself
I ate it up and spit it out
I faced it and overcame it
I faced it all and I stood tall
I faced it all head-on and was strong
And did it my way
And did it on my own terms
I've loved, I've laughed and cried
I have experienced the full range of emotions
Had my fill, my share of losing
I have experienced my fair share of failures
And now, as tears subside
But now, as I look back
I find it all so amusing
I find it all somewhat humorous
To think I did all that
To think I accomplished all of that
And may I say, not in a shy way
And I can say, without hesitation
"Oh no, oh no not me
"It was all me
I did it my way"
I did it on my own terms
For what is a man, what has he got?
Because what is a person really?
If not himself, then he has naught
If not true to oneself, then what is the point?
To say the things he truly feels
To express one's true feelings
And not the words of one who kneels
And not just what others want to hear
The record shows I took the blows
The evidence proves that I endured hardships
And did it my way
And did it on my own terms
The record shows I took the blows
The evidence proves that I endured hardships
And did it my way
And did it on my own terms

Joer, decir que no transmite... A mi me transmite mucho más que otras que son más lentas, como la original, o la Robbie Williams. En ésta versión es como si le gritara al mundo que las cosas fueron difíciles, pero con toda su energía lo hizo a su manera y no se rindió. Ésta versión te anima si estas regular mucho más que otras. "Grítale al mundo que tú puedes aunque te pongan mil barreras por delante"
