It's Quiet Uptown [Hungarian translation]

[ANGELICA]

There are moments that the words don’t reach

There is suffering too terrible to name

You hold your child as tight as you can

And push away the unimaginable

The moments when you’re in so deep

It feels easier to just swim down

[ANGELICA/ENSEMBLE]

The Hamiltons move uptown

And learn to live with the unimaginable

[HAMILTON]

I spend hours in the garden

I walk alone to the store

And it’s quiet uptown

I never liked the quiet before

I take the children to church on Sunday

A sign of the cross at the door

And I pray

That never used to happen before

[ANGELICA AND WOMEN]

If you see him in the street, walking by

Himself, talking to himself, have pity

[HAMILTON]

Philip, you would like it uptown

It’s quiet uptown

[ANGELICA AND WOMEN]

He is working through the unimaginable

[ALL MEN (EXCEPT HAMILTON)]

His hair has gone grey. He passes every day

They say he walks the length of the city

[HAMILTON]

You knock me out, I fall apart

[COMPANY (EXCEPT HAMILTON AND ELIZA)]

Can you imagine?

[HAMILTON]

Look at where we are

Look at where we started

I know I don’t deserve you, Eliza

But hear me out. That would be enough

If I could spare his life

If I could trade his life for mine

He’d be standing here right now

And you would smile, and that would be enough

I don’t pretend to know

The challenges we’re facing

I know there’s no replacing what we’ve lost

And you need time

But I’m not afraid

I know who I married

Just let me stay here by your side

That would be enough

[COMPANY (EXCEPT HAMILTON AND ELIZA)]

If you see him in the street, walking by her

Side, talking by her side, have pity

[HAMILTON]

Eliza, do you like it uptown? It’s quiet uptown

[COMPANY (EXCEPT HAMILTON AND ELIZA)]

He is trying to do the unimaginable

See them walking in the park, long after dark

Taking in the sights of the city

[HAMILTON]

Look around, look around, Eliza

[COMPANY (EXCEPT HAMILTON AND ELIZA)]

They are trying to do the unimaginable

[ANGELICA]

There are moments that the words don’t reach

There is a grace too powerful to name

We push away what we can never understand

We push away the unimaginable

They are standing in the garden

Alexander by Eliza’s side

She takes his hand

[ELIZA]

It’s quiet uptown

[COMPANY (EXCEPT HAMILTON AND ELIZA)]

Forgiveness. Can you imagine?

Forgiveness. Can you imagine?

If you see him in the street, walking by her

Side, talking by her side, have pity

They are going through the unimaginable
