Lyrics

[00:00.000] 作词 : Lin-Manuel Miranda
[00:01.000] 作曲 : Lin-Manuel Miranda
[00:04.559] Let me tell you what I wish I'd known
[00:07.798] When I was young and dreamed of glory
[00:11.142] You have no control
[00:12.787] Who lives, who dies, who tells your story
[00:16.627] President Jefferson
[00:17.960] I'll give him this,his financial system is a work of genius
[00:21.695] I couldn't undo it if I tried
[00:24.516] And, I've tried
[00:26.084] Who lives, who dies, who tells your story
[00:29.636] President Madison
[00:31.099] He took our country from bankruptcy to prosperity
[00:34.234] I hate to admit it
[00:35.488] But he doesn't get enough credit for all the credit he gave us
[00:39.145] Who lives, who dies, who tells your story
[00:42.802] Every other founding father story gets told
[00:46.041] Every other founding father gets to grow old
[00:49.411] And when you're gone, who remembers your name?
[00:51.840] Who keeps your flame? Who tells your story?
[00:55.158] Who tells your story?Who tells your story
[01:01.976] (Eliza)I put myself back in the narrative
[01:08.454] (Eliza)I stop wasting time on tears
[01:11.667] I live another fifty years,it's not enough
[01:15.142] (Eliza)I interview every soldier who fought by your side
[01:19.635] She tells our story
[01:21.411] I try to make sense of your thousands of pages of writtings
[01:25.199] You really do write like you're running out of time
[01:28.412] I rely on Angelica,while she's alive we tell your story
[01:34.707] She is buried in Trinity Church near you
[01:37.816] When I needed her most,she was right on time
[01:41.421] And I'm still not through
[01:43.302] I ask myself,what would you do if you had more time?
[01:48.056] The Lord,in his kindness
[01:49.806] He gives me what you always wanted
[01:52.183] He gives me more time
[01:54.299] I raise funds in D.C. for the Washington Monument
[01:57.460] (She tells my story)
[01:59.733] I speak out against slavery
[02:02.345] You could have done so much more if you only had time
[02:06.786] And when my time is up,have I done enough?
[02:09.947] Will they tell your story?
[02:13.891] Oh, can I show you what I'm proudest of?
[02:20.369] The orphanage
[02:22.276] I establish the first private orphanage in New York City
[02:27.762] The orphanage
[02:29.721] I help to raise hundreds of children
[02:33.039] I get to see them growing up
[02:34.815] The orphanage
[02:36.618] In their eyes,I see you,Alexander
[02:40.667] I see you every time
[02:42.809] And when my time is up
[02:44.637] Have I done enough?
[02:46.231] Will they tell your story?
[02:50.750] Oh, I can't wait to see you again
[02:55.060] It's only a matter of time
[03:02.844] Will they tell your story?(Time)
[03:08.278] Who lives, who dies, who tells your story?(Time)
[03:16.689] Will they tell your story?(Time)
[03:22.410] Who lives, who dies, who tells your story?
