[00:01.000] 作曲 : L.-M.Miranda
[00:03.00]How does a bastard, orphan son of a whore
[00:07.00]And a Scotsman,
[00:09.00]dropped in the middle of a forgotten spot in the Caribbean by providence impoverished in squalor
[00:16.00]grow up to be a hero and a scholar
[00:19.00]The 10 dollar
[00:20.00]founding father without a father
[00:22.00]Got a lot farther by working a lot harder,
[00:25.00]by being a lot smarter,
[00:28.00]By being a self-starter,
[00:29.00]by fourteen they placed him in charge of a trading charter,
[00:34.00]And everyday while slaves were being slaughtered
[00:36.00]and carted away
[00:38.00]Across the waves, he struggled and kept his guard up
[00:41.00]Inside he was longing for something to be a part of
[00:44.00]The brother was ready to beg, steal, borrow or barter
[00:49.00]Then a hurricane came, devastation reigned,
[00:52.00]A man saw his future drip, dripping down the drain
[00:56.00]Put a pencil to his temple, connected it to his brain
[01:00.00]And he wrote his first refrain, a testament to his pain
[01:04.00]And the word got around, they said
[01:06.00]"This kid is insane, man!"
[01:08.00]Took up a collection just to send him to the mainland
[01:12.00]Get your education, don't forget from whence you came
[01:15.00]And the world's gonna know your name what's your name man
[01:19.00]Alexander Hamilton
[01:22.00]My name is Alexander Hamilton
[01:26.00]There's a million things I haven't done
[01:29.00]But just you wait, just you wait
[01:33.00]When he was 10 his father split
[01:36.00]full of it, debt ridden
[01:37.00]two years later, see Alex and his mother bed-ridden
[01:41.00]Half-dead, sitting in their own sick, the scent thick
[01:45.00]And Alex got better but his mother went quick
[01:50.00]Moved in with a cousin
[01:51.00]the cousin committed suicide
[01:53.00]left him with nothing but ruined pride,
[01:55.00]something new inside
[01:57.00]a voice saying "Alex you gotta fend for yourself"
[02:00.00]He started retreating and reading every treatise on the shelf
[02:04.00]There woulda been nothing left to do
[02:05.00]for someone less astute
[02:07.00]he woulda been dead and destitute
[02:09.00]without a cent of restitution
[02:11.00]Started working, clerking for his late mother's landlord
[02:15.00]Trading sugar cane and rum and all the things he can't afford
[02:18.00]Scamming for every book he can get his hands on
[02:22.00]Planning for the future, see him now as he stands on
[02:25.00]the bow of a ship headed for a new land
[02:29.00]In New York you can be a new man
[02:32.00](in New York you can be a new man) Just you wait,
[02:36.00](in New York you can be a new man) Just you wait,
[02:39.00](in New York you can be a new man) Just you wait,
[02:42.00](in New York) Just you wait
[02:42.00]Alexander Hamilton, Alexander Hamilton,
[02:50.00]we are waiting in the wings for you (waiting in the wings for you)
[02:53.00]You could never back down,
[02:55.00]you never learned to take you time
[03:00.00]Oh, Alexander Hamilton
[03:04.00]When America sings for you
[03:08.00]Will they know what you overcame
[03:10.00]Will they know you rewrote the game
[03:14.00]The world will never be the same, oh，
[03:22.00]The ship is in the harbor now
[03:24.00]See if you can spot him (Just you wait)
[03:26.00]Another immigrant, Comin’ up from the bottom，(Just you wait)
[03:29.00]His enemies destroyed his rep，America forgot him
[03:32.00]We fought with him
[03:34.00]Me? I died for him
[03:36.00]Me? I trusted him
[03:38.00]Me? I loved him
[03:40.00]And me? I’m the damn fool that shot him
[03:44.00]There’s a million things I haven’t done
[03:46.00]But just you wait!
[03:50.00]What’s your name, man
[03:51.00]Alexander Hamilton
