Благодаря ви много.

Now, I've got a story for you.
1
5000
3000
Имам една история за вас.
00:33
When I arrived off the plane,
2
8000
3000
Като слязох от самолета
00:36
after a very long journey from the West of England,
3
11000
3000
след много дълго пътуване от Западна Англия
00:39
my computer, my beloved laptop,
4
14000
3000
моят компютър - любимият ми лаптоп
00:42
had gone mad,
5
17000
3000
се беше побъркал
00:45
and had -- oh! -- a bit like that! --
6
20000
3000
и имаше - ох! - нещо такова -
00:48
and the display on it --
7
23000
3000
и на екрана...
00:51
anyway, the whole thing had burst.
8
26000
3000
както и да е, цялото нещо беше гръмнало.
00:54
And I went to the IT guys here
9
29000
4000
Отидох при компютърджиите тук
00:58
and a gentleman mended my computer,
10
33000
4000
и един господин поправи моя компютър,
01:02
and then he said, "What are you doing here?"
11
37000
3000
а после каза: "Какво правите тук?",
01:05
and I said "I'm playing the cello and I'm doing a bit of singing,"
12
40000
3000
а аз отвърнах: "Свиря на чело и пея малко."
01:08
and he said, "Oh, I sort of play the cello as well."
13
43000
3000
Той каза: "О, и аз свиря малко на чело."
01:11
And I said, "Do you really?"
14
46000
3000
Възкликнах: "Наистина ли?"
01:14
Anyway, so you're in for a treat,
15
49000
2000
Както и да е - предстои ви наслада,
01:16
because he's fantastic, and his name's Mark.
16
51000
2000
защото той е фантастичен - казва се Марк.
01:18
(Applause)
17
53000
3000
(Аплодисменти)
01:21
I am also joined by my partner in crime, Thomas Dolby.
18
56000
5000
Към мен се присъедини и съучастникът ми, Томас Долби.
01:26
(Applause)
19
61000
3000
(Аплодисменти)
01:29
This song is called "Farther than the Sun."
20
64000
3000
Песента се казва "По-далеч от Слънцето".

24
110000
6000
♫ Ти си рало, което има нужда от бедна почва, ♫
02:21
♫ and I have treated you too well ♫
25
116000
3000
♫ а аз се държах с теб твърде добре, ♫
02:24
♫ to give up flowers ... ♫
26
119000
3000
♫ за да се откажеш от цветята... ♫
02:27
♫ Oh, I have been too rich for you ... ♫
27
122000
3000
♫ О, бях твърде богата за теб... ♫

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Caroline Lavelle - Cellist; singer-songwriterEqually talented on cello and vocals, Caroline Lavelle has created a performance style all her own. Her expansive talents, channeling the best of both classical and contemporary influences, have earned her comparisons to both Kate Bush and Jacqueline du Pré.
Why you should listen
Connecting the best of British chamber folk and folk rock to modern electronic music, Caroline Lavelle is frequently sought out for both her vocals and her cello playing. The genre-bridging cellist has collaborated with the likes of Peter Gabriel, Laurie Anderson, Radiohead, the Cranberries, BT, Massive Attack and William Orbit, among others (she reportedly inspired Madonna to pursue her own successful collaboration with Orbit).
In her TED performance of "Further than the Sun," Lavelle plays the cello like a sorceress casting a spell, occasionally hiding behind her wild mane of blond hair as she sings of pastoral themes. She's produced three solo albums -- A Distant Bell (2004), Brilliant Midnight (2001) and Spirit (1995) -- and is a touring member of the Chieftains.
