[00:00.000] 作词 : Lin-Manuel Miranda
[00:01.000] 作曲 : Lin-Manuel Miranda
[00:03.490]How does a bastard, orphan, son of a whore and a
[00:07.630]Scotsman, dropped in the middle of a
[00:10.460]Forgotten spot in the Caribbean by providence
[00:14.000]Impoverished, in squalor
[00:16.160]Grow up to be a hero and a scholar?
[00:18.340]
[00:18.950]The ten-dollar founding father without a father
[00:22.230]Got a lot farther by working a lot harder
[00:25.600]By being a lot smarter
[00:27.430]By being a self-starter
[00:29.250]By fourteen, they placed him in charge of a
[00:32.530]Trading charter
[00:33.740]
[00:34.300]And every day while slaves were being slaughtered and carted
[00:37.280]Away across the waves, he struggled and kept his guard up
[00:41.160]Inside, he was longing for something to be a part of
[00:44.680]The brother was ready to beg, steal, borrow, or barter
[00:48.070]
[00:48.730]Then a hurricane came, and devastation reigned
[00:52.020]Our man saw his future drip, dripping down the drain
[00:56.070]Put a pencil to his temple, connected it to his brain
[00:59.670]And he wrote his first refrain, a testament to his pain
[01:02.759]
[01:03.560]Well, the word got around, they said, “This kid is insane, man”
[01:07.349]Took up a collection just to send him to the mainland
[01:11.090]“Get your education, don’t forget from whence you came, and
[01:14.920]The world is gonna know your name. What’s your name, man?”
[01:17.650]
[01:18.599]Alexander Hamilton
[01:22.360]My name is Alexander Hamilton
[01:26.140]And there’s a million things I haven’t done
[01:29.180]But just you wait, just you wait...
[01:33.720]
[01:34.080]When he was ten his father split, full of it, debt-ridden
[01:37.690]Two years later, see Alex and his mother bed-ridden
[01:41.000]Half-dead sittin in their own sick, the scent thick
[01:44.560]
[01:44.819]And Alex got better but his mother went quick
[01:48.950]
[01:49.160]Moved in with a cousin, the cousin committed suicide
[01:52.500]Left him with nothin’ but ruined pride, something new inside
[01:56.129]A voice saying
[01:56.930]
[01:57.180]“You gotta fend for yourself.”(“Alex, you gotta fend for yourself.”)
[01:59.550]
[01:59.900]He started retreatin’ and readin’ every treatise on the shelf
[02:03.430]
[02:03.620]There would have been nothin’ left to do
[02:05.219]For someone less astute
[02:06.569]He woulda been dead or destitute
[02:08.189]Without a cent of restitution
[02:09.960]Started workin’, clerkin’ for his late mother’s landlord
[02:13.939]Tradin’ sugar cane and rum and all the things he can’t afford
[02:17.389]Scammin’ for every book he can get his hands on
[02:20.919]Plannin’ for the future see him now as he stands on
[02:24.419]The bow of a ship headed for a new land
[02:28.000]In New York you can be a new man
[02:30.930]
[02:31.349]In New York you can
[02:33.910]Be a new man— (Just you wait!)
[02:34.690]In New York you can
[02:36.750]Be a new man— (Just you wait!)
[02:38.419]In New York you can be a new man—
[02:42.000]In New York—
[02:43.220]New York—
[02:44.220]
[02:44.639]Just you wait!
[02:45.840]
[02:46.060]Alexander Hamilton(Alexander Hamilton)
[02:49.030]We are waiting in the wings for you(Waiting in the wings for you)
[02:52.610]You could never back down
[02:54.330]You never learned to take your time!
[02:59.590]Oh, Alexander Hamilton
[03:03.180]When America sings for you
[03:06.669]Will they know what you overcame?
[03:10.080]Will they know you rewrote the game?
[03:13.379]The world will never be the same, oh
[03:20.710]
[03:20.909]The ship is in the harbor now
[03:22.629]See if you can spot him
[03:23.830](Just you wait)
[03:24.550]Another immigrant
[03:26.000]Comin’ up from the bottom
[03:27.280](Just you wait)
[03:27.930]His enemies destroyed his rep
[03:29.509]America forgot him
[03:31.710]
[03:32.129]We fought with him
[03:33.030]
[03:33.389]Me? I died for him
[03:34.750]
[03:35.060]Me? I trusted him
[03:36.160]
[03:36.710]Me? I loved him
[03:38.080]
[03:38.440]And me? I’m the damn fool that shot him
[03:42.780]There’s a million things I haven’t done
[03:45.389]But just you wait!
[03:49.090]
[03:49.440]What’s your name, man?
[03:50.970]Alexander Hamilton!
