"One last time" ("В последний раз") — девятая песня второго акта бродвейского мюзикла «Гамильтон». Это тридцать вторая песня во всём мюзикле.
Джордж Вашингтон сообщает Гамильтону, что Томас Джефферсон уходит с поста, чтобы баллотироваться в президенты, а сам Вашингтон не будет выдвигать свою кандидатуру. Гамильтона шокировало данное заявление, но Вашингтон убеждает его, что так будет лучше для их страны. Джордж предлагает Гамильтону расслабиться и выпить вместе с ним в последний раз, чтобы наконец-то "сесть под свою виноградную лозу и смоковницу" и оглянуться на то, что они создали.
Слова[]
[HAMILTON]
Mr. President, you asked to see me?
[WASHINGTON]
I know you're busy
[HAMILTON]
What do you need, sir?
Sir?
[WASHINGTON]
I want to give you a word of warning
[HAMILTON]
Sir, I don't know what you heard
But whatever it is, Jefferson started it
[WASHINGTON]
Thomas Jefferson resigned this morning
[HAMILTON]
You're kidding
[WASHINGTON]
I need a favor
[HAMILTON]
Whatever you say, sir, Jefferson will pay for his behavior
[WASHINGTON]
Shh, talk less
[HAMILTON]
I'll use the press, I'll write under a pseudonym
You'll see what I can do to him—
[WASHINGTON]
I need you to draft an address
[HAMILTON]
Yes! He resigned, you can finally speak your mind—
[WASHINGTON]
No, he's stepping down so he can run for President
[HAMILTON]
Ha! Good luck defeating you, sir
[WASHINGTON]
I'm stepping down, I'm not running for President
[HAMILTON]
I'm sorry, what?
[WASHINGTON]
One last time
Relax, have a drink with me
One last time
Let's take a break tonight
And then we'll teach them how to say goodbye
To say goodbye
You and I
[HAMILTON]
Sir, with Britain and France on the verge of war, is this the best time—
[WASHINGTON]
I want to warn against partisan fighting
[HAMILTON]
But—
[WASHINGTON]
Pick up a pen, start writing
I want to talk about what we have learned
The hard-won wisdom I have earned
[HAMILTON]
As far as the people are concerned
You have to serve, you could continue to serve—
[WASHINGTON]
No. One last time
The people will hear from me
One last time
And if we get this right
We're gonna teach 'em how to say goodbye
Goodbye
You and I
[HAMILTON]
Mr. President, they will say you're weak
[WASHINGTON]
No, they will see we're strong
[HAMILTON]
Your position is so unique
[WASHINGTON]
So I'll use it to move them along
[HAMILTON]
Why do you have to say goodbye
[WASHINGTON]
If I say goodbye, the nation learns to move on
It outlives me when I'm gone
Like the scripture says:
"Everyone shall sit under their own vine and fig tree
And no one shall make them afraid."
They'll be safe in the nation we've made
I want to sit under my own vine and fig tree
A moment alone in the shade
At home in this nation we've made
One last time
[HAMILTON]
One last time
Though, in reviewing the incidents of my administration
I am unconscious of intentional error
I am nevertheless too sensible of my defects not to think it
Probable that I may have committed many errors.
I shall also carry with me
[HAMILTON] | [WASHINGTON] |
[WASHINGTON]
One last time
[ALL WOMEN]
George Washington's going home...
[HAMILTON]
Teach 'em how to say goodbye
