A Winter's Ball

伯尔
How does a bastard, orphan, son of a whore
一个私生子、孤儿、妓女的孩子,
go on and on, grow into more of a phenomenon?
怎么会一路闯个没完,最后成了这般轰动的人物?
Watch this obnoxious, arrogant loudmouth bother
瞧这个讨人嫌、自负、吵个不停的家伙,
Be seated at the right hand of the father
竟在那位“国父”的右手边,占了一席之地。
Washington hires Hamilton right on sight
华盛顿一见汉密尔顿,便把他收入麾下;
But Hamilton still wants to fight, not write
可汉密尔顿还是想上阵,不愿只伏案。
Now, Hamilton's skill with a quill is undeniable
他那支笔有多厉害,谁也没法否认;
But what do we have in common?
不过,我和他究竟有哪一点相同?
We're reliable with the...
说到这个,我们俩都绝不会失手——
Men男声
Ladies
姑娘们!
伯尔
There are so many to deflower
还有那么多姑娘的贞洁,等着人去夺;
Men男声
Ladies
姑娘们!
伯尔
Looks! Proximity to power
美貌!还有通往权力的近路;
Men男声
Ladies
姑娘们!
伯尔
Oh, they delighted and distracted him
啊,她们既让他心花怒放,也让他分了心。
Martha Washington named her feral tomcat after him
传闻玛莎·华盛顿拿他的名字,给自家那只野公猫命了名。
汉密尔顿
That's true.
——这可是真的。
伯尔
1780, a winter's ball
一七八〇年,一场冬日舞会;
And the Schuyler sisters are the envy of all
斯凯勒家的姐妹,人人见了都羡慕。
Yo, if you could marry a sister, you're rich, son
听着,兄弟,只要娶到其中一位,你就一步登天了。
汉密尔顿
Is it a question of "if," Burr, or which one?
伯尔,问题真是“能不能”吗?难道不是“选哪一个”?
