作曲 : Lin-Manuel Miranda

How does a bastard orphan

Son of a whore and a Scotsman

Dropped in the middle of a

Forgotten spot in the Caribbean

By providence

Impoverished in squalor

Grow up to be a hero and a scholar?

The ten-dollar founding father without a father

Got a lot farther by working a lot harder

By being a lot smarter

By being a self-starter

By fourteen, they placed him in charge of a trading charter

And every day, while slaves were being slaughtered

And carted away across the waves

He struggled and kept his guard up

Inside, he was longing for something to be a part of

The brother was ready to beg steal borrow or barter

Then a hurricane came and devastation reigned

Our man saw his future drip-dripping down the drain

Put a pencil to his temple connected it to his brain

And he wrote his first refrain a testament to his pain

Well, the word got around they said: ''This kid is insane, man''

Took up a collection just to send him to the mainland

Get your education don't forget from whence you came

And the world is gonna know your name

What's your name, man?

Alexander Hamilton

My name is Alexander Hamilton

And there is a million things I haven't done

But just you wait just you wait

When he was ten his father split ,full of it, debt-ridden

Two years later,see Alex and his mother bed-ridden

Half-dead sitting in their own sick,the scent thick

And Alex got better but his mother went quick

Moved in with a cousin,the cousin committed suicide

Left him with nothing but ruined pride,something new inside

A voice saying

''Alex you gotta fend for yourself''

He started retreating and reading every treatise on the shelf

There would have been nothing left to do for someone less astute

He would've been dead or destitute

Without a cent of restitution

Started working, clerking for his late mother's landlord

Trading sugarcane and rum and all the things he can't afford

Scamming for every book he can get his hands on

Planning for the future see him now as he stands on

The bow of a ship headed for a new land

In New York you can be a new man

In New York you can be a new man

In New York you can be a new man

In New York you can be a new man

In New York, just you wait!

Alexander Hamilton

Alexander Hamilton

We are waiting in the wings for you

You could never back down

You never learned to take your time!

Oh Alexander Hamilton

Alexander Hamilton

When America sings for you

Will they know what you overcame?

Will they know you rewrote the game?

The world will never be the same

The ship is in the harbor now

See if you can spot him

Another immigrant

Coming up from the bottom

His enemies destroyed his rep

America forgot him

We fought with him

Me, I died for him

Me, I trusted him

Me, I loved him

And me?

I'm the damn fool that shot him

There is a million things that I haven't done

But just you wait!

What's your name, man?

Alexander Hamilton!
