Текст песни Non-Stop (Original Broadway Cast of Hamilton) с переводом

I finished up my studies and I practiced law

I practiced law, Burr worked next door

Even though we started at the very same time

Alexander Hamilton began to climb

How to account for his rise to the top?

Maaaaan, the man is

Non-stop

Gentlemen of the jury, I’m curious, bear with me

Are you aware that we’re making hist’ry?

This is the first murder trial of our brand-new nation

The liberty behind deliberation

Non-stop

I intend to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt

With my assistant counsel

Co-counsel

Hamilton, sit down

Our client Levi Weeks is innocent

Call your first witness

That’s all you had to say

Okay

One more thing

Why do you assume you’re the smartest in the room?

Why do you assume you’re the smartest in the room?

Why do you assume you’re the smartest in the room?

Soon that attitude may be your doom

Awwww

Why do you write like you’re running out of time? (Why do you write like you’re

running out of time?)

Write day and night like you’re running out of time?

Ev’ry day you fight, like you’re running out of time (Ev'ry day you fight,

like you’re running out of time)

Keep on fighting in the meantime

(Non-stop!)

Corruption’s such an old song that we can sing along in harmony

And nowhere is it stronger than in Albany

This colony’s economy’s increasingly stalling and honestly

That’s why public service seems to be calling me (He’s just non-stop!)

I practiced the law, I practic’ly perfected it

I’ve seen injustice in the world and I’ve corrected it

Now for a strong central democracy

If not, then I’ll be Socrates

Throwing verbal rocks at these mediocrities

Awww

Hamilton, at the Constitutional Convention

I was chosen for the Constitutional Convention

There as a New York junior delegate

Now what I’m going to say may sound indelicate

Awwww

Goes and proposes his own form of government! (What?)

His own plan for a new form of government! (What?)

Talks for six hours! The convention is listless

Bright young man

Yo, who the f is this?

Why do you always say what you believe?

Why do you always say what you believe? (Why do you always say what you believe?

Ev’ry proclamation guarantees

Free ammunition for your enemies

(Awww!)

Why do you write like it’s

Going out of style? (Going out of style, hey!)

Write day and night like it’s

Going out of style? (Going out of style, hey!)

Ev’ry day you fight like it’s

Going out of style

Do what you do

Alexander?

Aaron Burr, sir

Well, it’s the middle of the night

Can we confer, sir?

Is this a legal matter?

Yes, and it’s important to me

What do you need?

Burr, you’re a better lawyer than me

Okay

I know I talk too much, I’m abrasive

You’re incredible in court

You’re succinct, persuasive

My client needs a strong defense

You’re the solution

Who’s your client?

The new U.S. Constitution

No

Hear me out

No way

A series of essays, anonymously published

Defending the document to the public

No one will read it

I disagree

And if it fails?

Burr, that’s why we need it

The constitution’s a mess

So it needs amendments

It’s full of contradictions

So is independence

We have to start somewhere

No, no way

You’re making a mistake

Good night

Hey

What are you waiting for?

What do you stall for?

What?

We won the war

What was it all for?

Do you support this constitution?

Of course

Then defend it

And what if you’re backing the wrong horse?

Burr, we studied and we fought and we killed

For the notion of a nation we now get to build

For once in your life, take a stand with pride

I don’t understand how you stand to the side

I’ll keep all my plans

Close to my chest (Wait for it, wait for it, wait…)

I’ll wait here and see

Which way the wind will blow

I’m taking my time

Watching the afterbirth of a nation

Watching the tension grow

I am sailing off to London

I’m accompanied by someone who always pays

I have found a wealthy husband

Who will keep me in comfort for all my days

He is not a lot of fun, but there’s no one

Who can match you for turn of phrase

My Alexander

Angelica

Don’t forget to write

Look at where you are

Look at where you started

The fact that you’re alive is a miracle

Just stay alive, that would be enough

And if your wife could share a fraction of your time

If I could grant you peace of mind

Would that be enough?

Alexander joins forces with James Madison and John Jay to write a series of

essays defending the new United States Constitution, entitled The Federalist

Papers. The plan was to write a total of twenty-five essays, the work divided

evenly among the three men. In the end, they wrote eighty-five essays,

in the span of six months. John Jay got sick after writing five.

James Madison wrote twenty-nine. Hamilton wrote the other fifty-one

How do you write like you’re

Running out of time? (Running out of time?)

Write day and night like you’re

Running out of time? (Running out of time?)

Ev’ry day you fight like you’re

Running out of time (Running out of time)

Like you’re

Running out of time (Running out of time)

Are you running out of time? (Awwww!)

How do you write like tomorrow won’t arrive?

How do you write like you need it to survive?

How do you write ev’ry second you’re alive?

Ev’ry second you’re alive?

Ev’ry second you’re alive?

They are asking me to lead

I am doing the best I can

To get the people that I need

I’m asking you to be my right hand man

Treasury or State?

I know it’s a lot to ask

Treasury or State?

To leave behind the world you know

Sir, do you want me to run the Treasury or State department?

Treasury

Let’s go

Alexander

I have to leave

Alexander

Look around, look around at how lucky we are to be alive right now

Helpless

They are asking me to lead

Look around, isn’t this enough?

He will never be satisfied

(What would be enough)

He will never be satisfied (To be satisfied)

Satisfied (Satisfied)

Satisfied (Satisfied)

History has its eyes on you

Why do you assume you’re the smartest in the room?

Why do you assume you’re the smartest in the room?

Soon that attitude’s gonna be your doom

Look around! Look around! Isn’t this enough? What would be enough?

History has its eyes on you

He will never be satisfied, satisfied, satisfied

Non-Stop! Non-Stop! Non-Stop! Non-Stop

Why do you fight like

History has its eyes on you

I am not throwin' away my shot! (Just you wait!)

I am not throwin' away my shot!

I am

Alexander Hamilton!

I am not throwin' away my shot
