Former US President Barack Obama has lent his voice to a new version of a song from the hit musical Hamilton.
美国前总统巴拉克·奥巴马为热门音乐剧《汉密尔顿》(Hamilton)的一首新歌配音。
The show’s creator Lin-Manuel Miranda has released monthly remixes of songs - or "Hamildrops" - since December 2017.
该节目的创作者林-马努艾尔·米兰达自2017年12月起每月发布一首《汉密尔顿之声》的混音歌曲。
In what has been labelled "the final Hamildrop", Mr Obama performs George Washington’s farewell address from second act number One Last Time.
在这首“最后的《汉密尔顿之声》中”,奥巴马在第二幕第一场的《最后一次》曲目中扮演乔治·华盛顿,给予告别演说。
Hamilton tells the story of US founding father Alexander Hamilton, and features other historical figures including Washington, Thomas Jefferson and Aaron Burr.
《汉密尔顿》讲述了美国之父亚历山大·汉密尔顿的故事,其他历史人物包括华盛顿,托马斯·杰斐逊和阿伦·伯尔。
The remix may be informed by a moment near the end of Mr Obama’s presidency, when Miranda and Jackson performed the song at the White House in January 2017.
在奥巴马总统任期即将结束的一个时刻,即2017年1月,米兰达和杰克逊在白宫演唱了这首歌。
The emotional performance drew tears from back-up singers and members of Mr Obama’s former cabinet, and ended with an embrace between Miranda and the former president.
该演唱情感之充沛,赢得了后备歌手和奥巴马前内阁成员的眼泪,并以米兰达与前总统之间的拥抱而告终。
At the time, Mr Obama called the show "an incredible gift... it is rare that a piece of art can remind us about what’s best in ourselves".
当时,奥巴马称这个节目“是一件令人难以置信的礼物......一件艺术品让我们看到自己最好的一面难能可贵”。
Referring to the end of his presidency, he added: "With that, let me know how to say goodbye."
在谈到总统任期结束时,他补充道:“接着,请告诉我该怎么说再见。”
