【中文翻譯】Aaron Burr, Sir


HamiltonBurr在整齣劇中互為對方的對立面。在這首歌中,我們看到他們兩人同為孤兒,但卻來自截然不同的背景。他們雖然擁有相似的理想與抱負,但卻抱持不同的觀點、擁有不同的人生哲學。

[Alexander Hamilton 遇到了 Aaron Burr,當他們一起喝一杯時,他們在小酒館遇上了John Laurens, Hercules Mulligan, 還有 Marquis de Lafayette。這三位年輕人在獨立戰爭中將會是舉足輕中的要角,並且會成為Hamilton的摯友。]

[HAMILTON]
Pardon me. Are you Aaron Burr, sir?
不好意思,請問你是Aaron Burr閣下嗎?

[BURR]
That depends. Who’s asking?
這要看是誰在問?

[HAMILTON]
Oh, well, sure, sir
I’m Alexander Hamilton, I’m at your service, sir
I have been looking for you

[BURR]
I’m getting nervous
我開始有點緊張了

[HAMILTON]
Sir…
I heard your name at Princeton. I was seeking an accelerated course of study when I got sort of out of sorts with a buddy of yours. I may have punched him. It’s a blur, sir. He handles the financials?
閣下
我久仰你在普林斯頓的大名。
我一直在尋找一個能夠快速畢業的方法
我跟你的一個朋友之間鬧的不太愉快
我可能打了他一拳,我記不太清楚了,閣下
他好像是管錢的...?

[BURR]
You punched the bursar
你揍了財務長

[HAMILTON]
Yes!
I wanted to do what you did. Graduate in two, then join the revolution. He looked at me like I was stupid, I’m not stupid
So how’d you do it? How’d you graduate so fast?
是的!
我想要做你所做的,兩年就畢業,然後加入革命
他看著我像是在看著白癡,我不是白癡
所以你怎麼辦到的?
你為什麼可以這麼快就畢業?

[BURR]
It was my parents’ dying wish before they passed

[HAMILTON]
You’re an orphan. Of course! I’m an orphan
God, I wish there was a war!
Then we could prove that we’re worth more
Than anyone bargained for…
你是孤兒,當然!我也是孤兒
天哪,我多希望有戰爭發生!
那麼我們就能夠證明我們的價值比其他人預計的更高

[BURR]
Can I buy you a drink?
我可以請你喝一杯嗎?

[HAMILTON]
That would be nice
當然好

[BURR]
While we’re talking, let me offer you some free advice
Talk less

[BURR]
Like I said…

[LAURENS]
Show time! Show time! Yo!
I’m John Laurens in the place to be!
Two pints o’ Sam Adams, but I’m workin’ on three, uh!
Those redcoats don’t want it with me!
Cuz I will pop chick-a pop these cops till I’m free!
表演時間!表演時間!Yo
我是John Laurens在這個地方
已經乾了兩品脫的啤酒,而我還在喝第三瓶
那些紅袍傢伙都不想和我在一塊
因為我會打爆這些條子直到我們得到自由!

[LAFAYETTE]
Oui oui, mon ami, je m’appelle Lafayette!
The Lancelot of the revolutionary set!
I came from afar just to say “Bonsoir!”
Tell the King “Casse toi!” Who’s the best?
C’est moi!
是是,朋友們,我的名字是Lafayette
革命軍裡面的蘭斯洛特
我遠道而來只為了說聲「你好」
告訴國王「滾開」
誰最狂?

Brrrah brraaah! I am Hercules Mulligan
Up in it, lovin’ it, yes I heard ya mother said “Come again?”
Brrrah brraaah! 我是Hercules Mulligan
在裡面,愛死了,對,我聽到你媽媽說「再來一次」?

[LAFAYETTE & LAURENS]
Ayyyyy

[MULLIGAN]
Lock up ya daughters and horses, of course
It’s hard to have intercourse over four sets of corsets…
把女兒們跟馬鎖起來,當然
隔著四層的緊身胸衣幹起來沒那麼容易


[LAFAYETTE]
Wow

[LAURENS]
No more sex, pour me another brew, son!
Let’s raise a couple more…
不要再開黃腔了,再幫我倒一杯,小子!

Give us a verse, drop some knowledge!
給我們來一段,給些指教!

[BURR]
Good luck with that: you’re takin’ a stand
You spit. I’m ‘a sit. We’ll see where we land
祝你們好運:你們表明立場
你們說的口沫橫飛
我就坐著看
看誰能走更遠

Burr,革命近在眼前
你到底在遲疑什麼?

Ooh
Who you?
