Текст Lin–Manuel Miranda – Lafayette Interlude
Текст:
Burr:
How does a ragtag volunteer army in need of a shower
Somehow defeat a global superpower?
How does King George underestimate his haters?
King George III:
Once we beat the traitors, we’ll be greeted as liberators!
Company:
Yay!
Burr:
Now, turns out we have a secret weapon!
An immigrant you know and love who’s unafraid to step in!
He’s constantly confusin’, confoundin’ the British henchmen
Ev’ryone give it up for America’s favorite fighting Frenchman!
Company:
Lafayette!
Lafayette:
I’m taking this horse by the reins makin’
Redcoats redder with bloodstains
Company:
Lafayette!
Lafayette:
And I’m never gonna stop ’til I make ’em
Drop, burn ’em up and scatter their remains, I’m..
Company:
Lafayette!
Lafayette:
Watch me escapin’ em! Engagin’ em!
Enragin’ em! I’m…
Company:
Lafayette!
Lafayette:
I go to France for more funds
Company:
Lafayette!
Lafayette:
I come back with more
Lafayette and Ensemble:
Guns
And ships
And so the balance shifts
Washington:
We rendezvous with Rochambeau, consolidate their gifts
Lafayette:
We can end the war at Yorktown, cut them off at sea, but
If we’re to succeed, there’s someone else we need:
Washington:
Please
Washington and Company:
Hamilton!
Lafayette:
Sir, he knows what to do in a trench
Ingenuitive and fluent in French, I mean..
Washington and Company:
Hamilton!
Lafayette:
Sir, you’re gonna have to use him eventually
What’s he gonna do on the bench? I mean..
Washington and Company:
Hamilton!
Lafayette:
No one has more resilience
Or matches my practical tactical brilliance..
Washington and Company:
Hamilton!
Lafayette:
You wanna fight for your land back?
Washington and Company:
Hamilton!
Lafayette:
Ya need your right hand man back!
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ya need your right hand man back
Get your right hand man back
Get your right hand man back!
Washington:
Alexander Hamilton
Troops are waiting in the field for you
If you join us right now, together we can turn the tide
Alexander Hamilton
I have soldiers who will yield for you
If we manage to get this right
They’ll surrender by early light
The world will never be the same, Alexander…
