letra de ten things one world - lin-manuel miranda
(male company):
one, two, three, four
(all except hamilton and burr):
five, six, seven, eight, nine
(burr):
there are ten things you need to know
(company):
number one!
(burr):
we rowed across the hudson at dawn
my friend, william p. vaness signed on as my
(company):
number two!
(burr):
hamilton arrived with his crew
nathaniel pendleton and a doctor that he knew
(company):
number three!
(burr):
i watched hamilton examine the terain
i wish i could tell you what was happening in his brain
this man has poisoned my political pursuits
(company):
most disputes die and no one shoots!
number four!
(burr):
hamilton drew first position
looking, to the world, like a man on a mission
this is a soldier with a marksman’s ability
the doctor turned around so he could have deniability
(company):
five!
(burr):
now, i didn’t know this at the time but we were
(burr): (hamilton/philip):
near the same spot your near the same spot my
son died, is that why son died, is that why
(company):
six!
(burr):
he examined his gun with such rigior
i watched as he methodically fiddled with the trigger
(company):
seven!
(burr):
confession time? here’s what i’ve got
my fellow soldiers’ll tell you i’m a terrible shot
(company):
number eight!
(burr/hamilton/ensemble men):
your last chance to negotiate
send in your seconds, see if they can set the record straight
(burr):
they won’t teach you this in your cl-sses
but look it up
hamilton was wearing his gl-sses
why?!
if not to take deadly aim!
it’s him or me, the world will never be the same
i had only one thought before the slaughter
“this man will not make an orphan of my daughter”
(company):
number nine!
(burr):
look him in the eye, aim no higher!
summon all the courage you require!
then count!
(company):
one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine
(burr/company):
he aims his pistol at the sky–
(burr):
wait!
(company):
nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two
(hamilton):
one last thought
(company):
number one!
(hamilton):
before we got in the boat to cross the hudson
i stopped to write a note
actually i wrote–
(hamilton/company):
two!
(hamilton):
just in case i didn’t make it through
i want the world to know what i intended to do
(company):
number three!
(hamilton):
if i shoot first, and throw it away
he has to yield, we both get to live another day
i know this puts me in a difficult spot
but i’ve got to throw away my shot
(company):
number four!
(hamilton):
i get lucky, i draw first position
i stand east as i load my amunition
the sun is in my eyes, i’m almost giddy
as i watch it slowly rise over my new york city
(company):
five!
(hamilton):
i start to shake when i realize
that we are–
(hamilton): (burr):
in the same spot where in the same spot where
my son died, is that why your son died, is that why
(company):
six!
(hamilton):
i examine the gun that we shared
philip never hurt a soul, he must have been so scared
(company):
seven!
(hamilton):
my eliza is still asleep
i left her a letter, i could have written it better
(company):
number eight!
(hamilton/burr/ensemble men):
your last chance to negotiate
send in your seconds, see if they can set the record straight
(hamilton):
i put on my gl-sses, so i can see if burr is softening
i see him glaring back at me
he’s always hated dueling, hated confrontation
i never had his instinct for self-preservation
i feel a sense of calm fill me
it’s not in his political interest to k!ll me
(company):
nine!
(hamilton):
my last thought is of eliza
maybe i can get home before she opens her eyes
they put us in our paces, we count to ten
god, i can’t wait to see her again
(burr/company):
he aims his pistol at the sky–
(burr):
wait!
