I Know Him
乔治三世
They say
他们如今又说：
George Washington's yielding his power and stepping away
乔治·华盛顿竟要交出权力，主动退场。
Is that true?
真有这种事？
I wasn't aware that was something a person could do
我竟不知道，权力原来还可以主动放手。
I'm perplexed
实在令人费解。
Are they going to keep on replacing whoever's in charge?
难道他们打算隔一阵，就把掌权的人换掉？
If so, who's next?
既然如此，下一个又是谁？
There's nobody else in their "country"
他们那个所谓的“国家”里，哪还有别人，
Who looms quite as large
能有华盛顿那般举足轻重。
What?
你说什么？
John Adams?
竟然是约翰·亚当斯？
I know him
那个人，我认识。
That can't be
不可能是他。
That's that little guy who spoke to me
不就是当年跟我说过话的那个小个子吗？
All those years ago
那都是好多年前了。
What was it? '85
哪一年去了？八五年？
That poor man, they're going to eat him alive
可怜的小家伙；他们准会把他生吞活剥。
Oceans rise, empires fall
沧海有涨落，帝国有兴亡，
Next to Washington they all look small
站在华盛顿身旁，任谁都显得渺小。
All alone
孤零零一个人，
Watch them run
瞧他们四处奔逃，
They will tear each other into pieces
看他们怎样把彼此撕得粉碎。
Jesus Christ, this will be fun
老天在上，这下可有好戏看了。
President John Adams?
约翰·亚当斯——总统？
Good luck.
那就……祝你好运。
