歌詞翻譯 | 百老匯音樂劇 Hamilton – Non-Stop

漢彌爾頓 (Hamilton) 百老匯音樂劇的第一幕最後一首歌 Non-Stop 涵蓋了主人翁 Hamilton 從戰爭結束到他被任命為美國財政部長 (Secretary of the Treasury) 這段期間的人生。

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
