This means, "I'm smiling."

3000
Isto significa que estou a sorrir.
00:24
So does that.
1
6000
3000
Tal como isto.
00:27
This means "mouse."
2
9000
2000
Isto representa um rato.
00:29
"Cat."
3
11000
2000
Gato.
00:32
Here we have a story.
4
14000
2000
Aqui temos uma historia.
00:34
The start of the story, where this means guy,
5
16000
3000
O inicio da historia, onde isto significa um rapaz,
00:37
and that is a ponytail on a passer-by.
6
19000
5000
e isto é um rabo-de-cavalo numa passadeira.
00:44
Here's where it happens.
7
26000
3000
Aqui é onde tudo aconteceu.
00:47
These are when.
8
29000
2000
Isto o quando.
00:49
This is a cassette tape the girl puts into her cassette-tape player.
9
31000
3000
Isto é a cassete que a rapariga põem no seu reprodutor de cassetes.
00:52
She wears it every day.
10
34000
2000
Ela ouve-a todos os dias.
00:54
It's not considered vintage --
11
36000
1000
Não é considerado vintage --
00:55
she just likes certain music to sound a certain way.
12
37000
2000
ela apenas gosta que certas músicas soem de certa maneira.
00:57
Look at her posture; it's remarkable.
13
39000
2000
Reparem na sua postura, é extraordinária.
00:59
That's because she dances.
14
41000
2000
É porque ela dança.
01:01
Now he, the guy, takes all of this in, figuring,
15
43000
2000
Agora ele, o rapaz, considera isto tudo, pensando,
01:03
"Honestly, geez, what are my chances?"
16
45000
4000
"Honestamente, por favor, quais são as minhas hipóteses?"
01:07
(Laughter)
17
49000
1000
(Risos)
01:08
And he could say, "Oh my God!"
18
50000
3000
E ele podia dizer: "Oh meu deus!"
01:11
or "I heart you!"
19
53000
2000
ou "Eu ouvi-te!"
01:13
"I'm laughing out loud."
20
55000
2000
Estou a rir-me alto.
01:15
"I want to give you a hug."
21
57000
2000
Eu quero dar-te um abraço.
01:17
But he comes up with that, you know.
22
59000
2000
Mas ele tem esta ideia, vocês sabem.
01:19
He tells her, "I'd like to hand-paint your portrait on a coffee mug."
23
61000
4000
Ele diz-lhe, "Eu gostava de pintar o teu retrato numa caneca de café".
01:23
(Laughter)
24
65000
2000
(Risos)
01:25
Put a crab inside it.
25
67000
2000
Colocar um caranguejo dentro dela.
01:27
Add some water.
26
69000
2000
Juntar alguma água.
01:29
Seven different salts.
27
71000
2000
Sete tipos de sais.
01:31
He means he's got this sudden notion to stand on dry land,
28
73000
3000
Ele quer dizer que tem essa vontade súbita de se manter em terra seca,
01:34
but just panhandle at the ocean.
29
76000
2000
mas simplesmente aventura no oceano.
01:36
He says, "You look like a mermaid, but you walk like a waltz."
30
78000
6000
Ele diz, "Pareces uma serei, mas andas como uma dançarina de salsa."
01:42
And the girl goes, "Wha'?"
31
84000
4000
E a rapariga responde. "QUÊ?"
01:47
So, the guy replies, "Yeah, I know, I know.
32
89000
2000
Então, o rapaz responde, "Yeah, eu sei, eu sei.
01:49
I think my heartbeat might be the Morse code for inappropriate.
33
91000
3000
acho que o meu ritmo cardíaco pode ser código Morse para inapropriado.
01:52
At least, that's how it seems.
34
94000
2000
Pelo menos, é o que parece.
01:54
I'm like a junior varsity cheerleader sometimes --
35
96000
4000
A vezes sou como uma líder de claque júnior --
01:58
for swearing, awkward silences, and very simple rhyme schemes.
36
100000
5000
por praguejar, silêncios incómodos, e por versos muito simples.
02:03
Right now, talking to you, I'm not even really a guy.
37
105000
5000
Agora mesmo, ao falar contigo, eu não sou sequer um rapaz de verdade.
02:08
I'm a monkey --
38
110000
2000
Sou um macaco.
02:10
(Laughter) --
39
112000
1000
(Risos)
02:11
blowing kisses
40
113000
2000
a atirar beijos
02:13
at a butterfly.
41
115000
2000
a uma borboleta.
02:15
But I'm still suggesting you and I should meet.
42
117000
3000
Mas continuo a sugerir que nos os dois devíamos de nos encontrar.
02:18
First, soon, and then a lot.
43
120000
5000
Primeiro, cedo, e depois muitas vezes.
02:23
I'm thinking the southwest corner of 5th and 42nd at noon tomorrow,
44
125000
4000
Estou a pensar na esquina sudoeste da rua 5 com a 42 amanha ao meio-dia,
02:27
but I'll stay until you show up, ponytail or not.
45
129000
4000
mas eu espero até tu chegares, com rabo-de-cavalo ou sem.
02:31
Hell, ponytail alone.
46
133000
2000
Raios, rabo-de-cavalo apenas.
02:33
I don't know what else to tell you.
47
135000
2000
Não sei mais o que te dizer.
02:35
I got a pencil you can borrow.
48
137000
2000
Tenho um lápis que te posso emprestar.
02:37
You can put it in your phone."
49
139000
3000
Podes guardar no teu telefone."
02:40
But the girl does not budge, does not smile, does not frown.
50
142000
8000
Mas a rapariga não se move, não sorri, não franze sequer a sobrancelha.
02:48
She just says, "No thank you."
51
150000
4000
Ela apenas diz, "Não obrigado..."
02:52
You know?
52
154000
2000
Vocês sabem.
02:56
[ "i don't need 2 write it down." ]
53
158000
6000
["Não o preciso de escrever."]
03:02
(Applause)
54
164000
10000
(Aplausos)
ABOUT THE SPEAKER

Why you should listen
Part poet, part storyteller, part philosopher, Rives is the co-host of TEDActive as well as a frequent TED speaker. On stage, his poems burst in many directions, exposing multiple layers and unexpected treats: childhood memories, grown-up humor, notions of love and lust, of what is lost forever and of what's still out there waiting to unfold. Chimborazo.
A regular on HBO's Def Poetry Jam, Rives also starred alongside model Bar Refaeli in the 2008 Bravo special Ironic Iconic America, touring the United States on a "roller coaster ride through the eye-popping panorama of American pop culture." Flat pages can't contain his storytelling, even when paper is his medium. The pop-up books he creates for children unfold with surprise: The Christmas Pop-Up Present expands to reveal moving parts, hidden areas and miniature booklets inside.
His latest project—the Museum of Four in the Morning—is an ode to a time that may well be part of a global conspiracy. In a good way.
