歌詞翻譯 | 百老匯音樂劇 Hamilton – One Last Time

這首 One Last Time 曲目說著 Hamilton 替 George Washington 撰寫告別演說 (Farewell Address) 背後的故事，這段著名的演說是 George Washington 在決定要踏出總統辦公室後的最後一段政治聲明。

溫馨小提醒:
1. 如果你是還沒看過、正在猶豫要不要看的話 (看就對了不用猶豫XD)，可以考慮先什麼都不知道的看完一次音樂劇、回來查歌詞意思和各種細節安排解釋之後，再看一次音樂劇，內心小宇宙就可以爆炸和被驚豔很多次 XD
2. 為了方便閱讀，我把歌詞相關的註解 (和有時候有一點點小感想) 放在每段後面的藍色框框裡~
3. 這首裡面的角色前面都有出現過了，所以就不會在註解裡再介紹一次囉~ 如果想知道關於他們的基本訊息的話可以參考第一首 Alexander Hamilton 的翻譯和註解

後話

最前面 Hamilton 在那邊告狀說是 Jefferson 先開始的真的太可愛 XD 這首的最後一段直接引用 George Washington 告別演說中的演講詞（這部分我有參考百度百科上的翻譯 >__<），原文的用詞實在是很漂亮又厲害啊！不愧是知名的告別演說，沒辦法完美的翻出來請見諒嗚嗚，除了詞以外我也好喜歡它同時用 Washington 的輕唱和 Hamilton 的朗誦重疊的感覺~~~
