Alexander Hamilton
伯尔
How does a bastard, orphan
一个私生子，一个孤儿——
Son of a whore and a Scotsman
一个妓女与苏格兰人的儿子，
Dropped in the middle of a forgotten spot in the Caribbean
被抛在加勒比海一个无人记得的角落，
By providence, impoverished, in squalor
任命运摆布，穷困潦倒、身陷污秽，
Grow up to be a hero and a scholar?
究竟如何长成了一位英雄、一名学者？
劳伦斯
The ten-dollar founding father without a father
这位登上十美元、自己却没有父亲的开国元勋，
Got a lot farther by working a lot harder
靠比别人加倍拼命，才一路走得更远；
By being a lot smarter
靠比别人更加聪明，
By being a self-starter
靠凡事自己闯出开端；
By 14, they placed him in charge of a trading charter
十四岁时，人们已让他执掌一家贸易商行。
杰斐逊
And every day, while slaves
日复一日，就在奴隶们——
Were being slaughtered and carted away across the waves
被屠戮、被押过重洋的同时，
He struggled and kept his guard up
他苦苦挣扎，始终不敢卸下防备；
Inside, he was longing for something to be a part of
内心却渴望有一番事业，能让自己置身其中；
The brother was ready to beg, steal, borrow or barter
为了得到机会，这小子不惜乞求、偷取、借来，甚至以物换物。
麦迪逊
Then a hurricane came and devastation reigned
后来飓风袭来，满目尽是毁灭；
Our man saw his future drip, dripping down the drain
他眼看自己的未来，一滴一滴流进下水道；
Put a pencil to his temple, connected it to his brain
他把铅笔抵住太阳穴，让笔尖接通头脑，
And he wrote his first refrain, a testament to his pain
写下平生第一篇文章，字字都是苦难的证词。
伯尔
Well, the word got around, they said, "This kid is insane, man"
消息传开，人们惊叹：“这孩子简直是个疯才！”
Took up a collection just to send him to the mainland
大家为他募款，只为把他送往大陆；
"Get your education, don't forget from whence you came
“去求学吧，别忘记你来自哪里；
And the world's gonna know your name"
终有一天，全世界都会知道你的名字。”
What's your name, man?
告诉我们，你叫什么名字？

When he was ten, his father split, full of it, debt-ridden
十岁那年，满口谎话、债台高筑的父亲一走了之；
Two years later, see Alex and his mother bedridden, half dead

Moved in with a cousin, the cousin committed suicide

He started retreatin' and readin' every treatise on the shelf

伯尔
There would've been nothing left to do for someone less astute
换作一个没他机敏的人，恐怕早已无路可走；
He would've been dead or destitute without a cent of restitution
不是死去，就是身无分文、穷困潦倒，得不到一分补偿。
Started working, clerking for his late mother's landlord
于是他开始做事，给亡母的房东当文书；
Tradin' sugarcane and rum and all the things he can't afford
