Now, I've got a story for you.
1
5000
3000
Mám tu pre vás jeden príbeh.
00:33
When I arrived off the plane,
2
8000
3000
Keď som vystúpila z lietadla
00:36
after a very long journey from the West of England,
3
11000
3000
po veľmi dlhej ceste zo západného Anglicka,
00:39
my computer, my beloved laptop,
4
14000
3000
môj počítač, môj milovaný laptop,
00:42
had gone mad,
5
17000
3000
sa zbláznil
00:45
and had -- oh! -- a bit like that! --
6
20000
3000
a... Ach! Trochu ako toto!
00:48
and the display on it --
7
23000
3000
a jeho displej -
00:51
anyway, the whole thing had burst.
8
26000
3000
proste celá tá vec sa zničila.
00:54
And I went to the IT guys here
9
29000
4000
A tak som išla za IT technikmi
00:58
and a gentleman mended my computer,
10
33000
4000
a jeden chlap opravil môj počítač,
01:02
and then he said, "What are you doing here?"
11
37000
3000
a potom povedal: "Čo vás sem prinieslo?"
01:05
and I said "I'm playing the cello and I'm doing a bit of singing,"
12
40000
3000
A ja som mu odpovedala: "Hrám na violončelo a trochu spievam."
01:08
and he said, "Oh, I sort of play the cello as well."
13
43000
3000
On povedal: "Aj ja hrám na violončelo."
01:11
And I said, "Do you really?"
14
46000
3000
A ja som povedala: "Naozaj?"
01:14
Anyway, so you're in for a treat,
15
49000
2000
A tu je, aby s vami chvíľu bol,
01:16
because he's fantastic, and his name's Mark.
16
51000
2000
pretože je skvelý! Volá sa Mark.
01:18
(Applause)
17
53000
3000
(Potlesk)
01:21
I am also joined by my partner in crime, Thomas Dolby.
18
56000
5000
Taktiež ma sprevádza môj komplic Thomas Dolby.
01:26
(Applause)
19
61000
3000
(Potlesk)
01:29
This song is called "Farther than the Sun."
20
64000
3000
Táto pieseň sa volá "Ďalej ako Slnko."

♫ Lapená vo vetre som ťa volala, ♫
02:08
♫ but you did not hear ... ♫
23
103000
6000

24
110000
6000
♫ Si rastlina, ktorá potrebuje chudobnú pôdu ♫
02:21
♫ and I have treated you too well ♫
25
116000
3000
♫ a ja som sa o teba starala až príliš dobre, ♫
02:24
♫ to give up flowers ... ♫
26
119000
3000
♫ aby si rozkvitol. ♫
02:27
♫ Oh, I have been too rich for you ... ♫
27
122000
3000
♫ Bola som príliš starostlivá... ♫
02:39
♫ Farther than the sun from me ♫

140000
4000
♫ Ďalej ako som myslela, že niekedy budeš. ♫
02:51
♫ And I go north, I get so cold ♫
30
146000

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.
