Non-Stop [French translation]

[BURR]

After the war I went back to New York

[HAMILTON]

A-After the war I went back to New York

[BURR]

I finished up my studies and I practiced law

[HAMILTON]

I practiced law, Burr worked next door

[BURR]

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

[BURR/ENSEMBLE]

Non-stop!

[HAMILTON]

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—

[ENSEMBLE]

Non-stop!

[HAMILTON]

I intend to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt

With my assistant counsel—

[BURR]

Co-counsel

Hamilton, sit down

Our client Levi Weeks is innocent. Call your first witness

That’s all you had to say!

[HAMILTON]

Okay!

One more thing—

[BURR]

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!

[ENSEMBLE]

Awwww!

[BURR/ENSEMBLE]

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

[BURR]

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

[BURR/ENSEMBLE]

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

[BURR]

Keep on fighting in the meantime—

[ENSEMBLE]

Non-stop!

[HAMILTON]

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.

[BURR AND ENSEMBLE]

He’s just

Non-stop!

[HAMILTON]

I practiced the law, I practically 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.

[ENSEMBLE]

Awww!

[BURR]

Hamilton, at the Constitutional Convention:

[HAMILTON]

I was chosen for the Constitutional Convention!

[BURR]

There as a New York junior delegate

[HAMILTON]

Now what I’m going to say may sound indelicate…

[BURR]

Goes and proposes his own form of government!

His own plan for a new form of government!

Talks for six hours! The convention is listless!

[ENSEMBLE MAN]

Bright young man…

[ANOTHER ENSEMBLE MAN]

Yo, who the f is this?

[BURR]

Why do you always say what you believe?

[BURR/ENSEMBLE]

Why do you always say what you believe?

[BURR]

Every proclamation guarantees free ammunition for your enemies!

[BURR AND ENSEMBLE]

Why do you write like it’s

Going out of style?

Write day and night like it’s

Going out of style?

[BURR AND COMPANY]

Every day you fight like it’s

Going out of style

Do what you do

[PERCUSSION: KNOCKING SOUND]

[BURR]

Alexander?

[HAMILTON]

Aaron Burr, sir

[BURR]

It’s the middle of the night

[HAMILTON]

Can we confer, sir?

[BURR]

Is this a legal matter?

HAMILTON

Yes, and it’s important to me

[BURR]

What do you need?

[HAMILTON]

Burr, you’re a better lawyer than me

[BURR]

Okay

[HAMILTON]

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

[BURR]

Who’s your client?

[HAMILTON]

The new U.S. Constitution?

[BURR]

No

[HAMILTON]

Hear me out

[BURR]

No way!

[HAMILTON]

A series of essays, anonymously published

Defending the document to the public

[BURR]

No one will read it

[HAMILTON]

I disagree

[BURR]

And if it fails?

[HAMILTON]

Burr, that’s why we need it

[BURR]

The constitution’s a mess

[HAMILTON]

So it needs amendments

[BURR]

It’s full of contradictions

[HAMILTON]

So is independence

We have to start somewhere

[BURR]

No. No way

[HAMILTON]

You’re making a mistake

[BURR]

Good night

[HAMILTON]

Hey

What are you waiting for?

What do you stall for?

[BURR]

What?

[HAMILTON]

We won the war

What was it all for?

Do you support this constitution?

[BURR]

Of course

[HAMILTON]

Then defend it

[BURR]

And what if you’re backing the wrong horse?

[HAMILTON]

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

[BURR]

I’ll keep all my plans

Close to my chest

[ENSEMBLE]

Wait for it, wait for

It, wait…

[BURR]

I’ll wait here and see

[BURR/ENSEMBLE]

Which way the wind will blow

I’m taking my time

Watching the afterbirth of a nation

Watching the tension grow.

[ANGELICA]

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

[HAMILTON]

Angelica

[ANGELICA]

Don’t forget to write

[ELIZA]

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?

[BURR]

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!

[BURR]

How do you write like you’re

Running out of time?

Write day and night like you’re

Running out of time?

[BURR AND ENSEMBLE]

Every day you fight

Like you’re running out of time

Like you’re running out of time

Are you running out of time?

Awwww!

[FULL COMPANY (EXCEPT HAMILTON)]

How do you write like tomorrow won’t arrive?

How do you write like you need it to survive?

How do you write every second you’re alive?

Ev’ry second you’re alive? Every second you’re alive?

[WASHINGTON]

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

[HAMILTON]

Treasury or State?

[WASHINGTON]

I know it’s a lot to ask

[HAMILTON]

Treasury or State?

[WASHINGTON]

To leave behind the world you know…

[HAMILTON]

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

[WASHINGTON]

Treasury

[HAMILTON]

Let’s go

[ELIZA]

Alexander…

[HAMILTON]

I have to leave

[ELIZA]

Alexander—

[HAMILTON]

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

[ELIZA]

Helpless…

[HAMILTON]

They are asking me to lead

[ELIZA]

Look around, isn’t this enough?

[ANGELICA]

He will never be satisfied

[ELIZA]

What would be enough

To be

[ANGELICA]

He will never be satisfied

[ANGELICA AND ELIZA]

Satisfied

Satisfied

Satisfied…

[WASH]

History has its eyes…

On…

You!

[BURR]

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

[ENSEMBLE]

Non-stop!

[ANGELICA]

He will never be satisfied

[BURR]

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

Soon that attitude’s gonna be your doom!

[ELIZA]

Isn’t this enough?

What would be enough?

[WASHINGTON/MULLIGAN/LAURENS/LAFAYETTE]

History has its eyes…

On…

You...

[ANGELICA/ELIZA/BURR]

Why do you fight like

[ANGELICA/ELIZA/BURR/WASHINGTON/ENSEMBLE]

History has its eyes on you...

[HAMILTON]

I am not throwin’ away my shot!

[MEN]

Just you wait!

[HAMILTON]

I am not throwin’ away my shot!

I am Alexander Hamilton!

[FULL ENSEMBLE]

Just you wait!

Alexander Hamilton

Hamilton, Just you wait

[HAMILTON]

I am not throwin' away my shot
