"What I Will"
00:18
I will not dance to your war drum.
1
3000
3000
Neću plesati uz vaš ratnički ritam.
00:22
I will not lend my soul nor my bones to your war drum.
2
7000
3000
Neću dati svoju dušu niti kosti vašem ratničkom bubnju.
00:25
I will not dance to that beating.
3
10000
2000
Neću plesati uz taj ritam.
00:27
I know that beat.
4
12000
2000
Znam ga.
00:29
It is lifeless.
5
14000
2000
Beživotan je.
00:31
I know intimately that skin you are hitting.
6
16000
3000
Dobro poznajem kožu koju udarate.
00:34
It was alive once,
7
19000
2000
Jednom je bila živa,
00:36
hunted, stolen,
8
21000
2000
lovljena, ukradena,
00:38
stretched.
9
23000
2000
razvučena.
00:40
I will not dance to your drummed-up war.
10
25000
3000
Neću plesati za vaš rat pod zvucima doboša.
00:43
I will not pop, spin, break for you.
11
28000
3000
Neću pevati, igrati, repovati za vas.
00:46
I will not hate for you
12
31000
2000
Neću mrzeti za vas
00:48
or even hate you.
13
33000
2000
pa ni vas.
00:50
I will not kill for you.
14
35000
2000
Neću ubijati za vas.
00:52
Especially I will not die for you.
15
37000
4000
Naročito neću umreti za vas.
00:56
I will not mourn the dead with murder nor suicide.
16
41000
3000
Neću oplakivati mrtve ubistvom ili samoubistvom.
00:59
I will not side with you or dance to bombs
17
44000
2000
Neću biti uz vas ili plesati uz bombe
01:01
because everyone is dancing.
18
46000
2000
zato što to svi rade.
01:03
Everyone can be wrong.
19
48000
2000
Svako može pogrešiti.
01:05
Life is a right, not collateral or casual.
20
50000
4000
Život je pravo, ne šteta ili žrtva.
01:09
I will not forget where I come from.
21
54000
2000
Neću zaboraviti odakle dolazim.
01:11
I will craft my own drum.
22
56000
2000
Izradiću sopstveni bubanj.
01:13
Gather my beloved near,
23
58000
2000
Okupiti svoje bližnje,
01:15
and our chanting will be dancing.
24
60000
2000
naše pevanje će biti ples.
01:17
Our humming will be drumming.
25
62000
2000
Naše pevušenje biće muziciranje.
01:19
I will not be played.
26
64000
2000
Nećete me izigrati.
01:21
I will not lend my name nor my rhythm to your beat.
27
66000
4000
Neću pozajmiti svoje ime niti ritam vašem.
01:25
I will dance and resist and dance and persist and dance.
28
70000
4000
Plesaću i odupreću se i plesati i istrajati i plesati.
01:29
This heartbeat is louder than death.
29
74000
3000
Ovaj otkucaj srca je glasniji od smrti.
01:32
Your war drum ain't louder
30
77000
2000
Vaš ratni bubanj nije glasniji
01:34
than this breath. Haaa.
31
79000
4000
od ovog daha. Haaa.
01:38
What's up TED people? Let me hear you make some noise.
32
83000
3000
Šta ima TED ljudi? Da vas čujem malo.
01:41
(Applause)
33
86000
2000
(aplauz)
01:43
A bunch of pacifists.
34
88000
3000
Gomila pacifista.
01:46
Confused, aspiring pacifists.
35
91000
3000
Zbunjenih, željnih pacifista.
01:49
I understand.
36
94000
3000
Razumem.
01:53
I've been wrong a lot lately.
37
98000
3000
Mnogo sam grešila u poslednje vreme.
01:58
Like a lot.
38
103000
2000
Baš mnogo.
02:00
So I couldn't figure out
39
105000
3000
Pa sam teško odlučila
02:03
what to read today.
40
108000
2000
šta da vam čitam danas.
02:05
I mean, I've been saying I've been prepping.
41
110000
3000
Mislim, govorila sam kako se pripremam.
02:08
What that means is prepping my outfit,
42
113000
2000
To znači da sam pripremala šta ću obući,
02:10
(Laughter)
43
115000
2000
(smeh)
02:12
prepping options,
44
117000
2000
pripremala opcije,
02:14
trying to figure out what I'm coming behind
45
119000
2000
pokušavala da shvatim posle čega dolazim
02:16
and going in front of.
46
121000
3000
i ispred čega dolazim.
02:19
Poetry does that.
47
124000
2000
Poezija vam to radi.
02:21
It preps you. It aims you.
48
126000
3000
Priprema vas. Usmerava.
02:24
So I am going to read a poem
49
129000
2000
Pročitaću pesmu
02:26
that was chosen just now.
50
131000
2000
koju sam upravo sada odabrala.
02:28
But I'm going to need you
51
133000
2000
Ali moraćete da sedite
02:30
to just sit for like 10 minutes
52
135000
2000
nekih desetak minuta
02:32
and hold a woman who is not here.
53
137000
3000
i mislite na ženu koja nije ovde.
02:35
Hold her now
54
140000
3000
Zamislite da
02:38
with you.
55
143000
2000
je ovde.
02:42
You don't need to say her name out loud, you can just hold her.
56
147000
2000
Ne morate reći njeno ime, samo mislite na nju.
02:44
Are you holding her?
57
149000
2000
Uspevate?
02:49
This is "Break Clustered."
58
154000
3000
Ovo je "Break Clustered."
02:53
All holy history banned.
59
158000
4000
Sva sveta istorija zabranjena.
02:57
Unwritten books predicted the future, projected the past.
60
162000
4000
Nepisane knjige predviđaše budućnost, projektovaše prošlost.
03:01
But my head unwraps
61
166000
2000
Ali ja shvatam
03:03
around what appears limitless,
62
168000
3000
ono što se čini bezgraničnim,
03:06
man's creative violence.
63
171000
3000
čovekovo kreativno nasilje.
03:09
Whose son shall it be?
64
174000
3000
Čiji sin je sledeći?
03:12
Which male child will perish a new day?
65
177000
4000
Koje muško dete će uništiti novi dan?
03:16
Our boys' deaths galvanize.
66
181000
3000
Smrti naših dečaka podstiču.
03:19
We cherish corpses.
67
184000
2000
Uzdižemo leševe.
03:21
We mourn women, complicated.
68
186000
2000
Tugujemo za ženama, složeno.
03:23
Bitches get beat daily.
69
188000
2000
Žene tuku svakodnevno.
03:25
Profits made, prophets ignored.
70
190000
3000
Proroke napravili, proroke ignorisali.
03:28
War and tooth, enameled salted lemon childhoods.
71
193000
3000
Rat i zubna gleđ, slano kiselo detinjstvo.
03:31
All colors run, none of us solid.
72
196000
3000
Svih smo boja, niko od nas ispunjen.
03:34
Don't look for shadow behind me. I carry it within.
73
199000
3000
Ne traži senku iza mene. Nosim je u sebi.
03:37
I live cycles of light and darkness.
74
202000
3000
Živim u smenama svetlosti i tame.
03:40
Rhythm is half silence.
75
205000
2000
Ritam je pola tišine.
03:42
I see now, I never was one and not the other.
76
207000
3000
Sada shvatam, nikada nisam bila jedno bez drugog.
03:45
Sickness, health, tender violence.
77
210000
4000
Bolest, zdravlje, blago nasilje.
03:49
I think now I never was pure.
78
214000
2000
Nikada nisam bila čista, sada znam.
03:51
Before form I was storm,
79
216000
3000
Pre oblika, bila sam oluja,
03:54
blind, ign'ant -- still am.
80
219000
3000
slepa, neuka - još uvek sam.
03:57
Human contracted itself blind, malignant.
81
222000
3000
Ljudsko biće zaslepljeno, otrovno.
04:00
I never was pure.
82
225000
2000
Nikad nisam bila čista.
04:02
Girl spoiled before ripened.
83
227000
3000
Devojka pokvarena pre nego je sazrela.
04:05
Language can't math me.
84
230000
2000
Jezik me ne može sabrati.
04:07
I experience exponentially.
85
232000
2000
Doživljavam eksponencijalno.
04:09
Everything is everything.
86
234000
3000
Sve je sve.
04:12
One woman loses 15, maybe 20, members of her family.
87
237000
4000
Žena izgubi 15, možda 20 članova svoje porodice.
04:16
One woman loses six.
88
241000
2000
Jedna žena izgubi šest.
04:18
One woman loses her head.
89
243000
2000
Jedna žena gubi svoju glavu.
04:20
One woman searches rubble. One woman feeds on trash.
90
245000
3000
Jedna žena traži po ruševinama. Druga jede smeće.
04:23
One woman shoots her face. One woman shoots her husband.
91
248000
3000
Jedna žena puca sebi u glavu. Druga ubija svog muža.
04:26
One woman straps herself.
92
251000
2000
Jedna žena se vezuje.
04:28
One woman gives birth to a baby.
93
253000
2000
Jedna žena rađa dete.
04:30
One woman gives birth to borders.
94
255000
2000
Jedna žena rađa granice.
04:32
One woman no longer believes love will ever find her.
95
257000
3000
Jedna ne veruje da će je ljubav ikada više pronaći.
04:35
One woman never did.
96
260000
2000
Jedna žena nikad nije.
04:37
Where do refugee hearts go?
97
262000
3000
Gde odlaze srca izbeglica?
04:40
Broken, dissed,
98
265000
2000
Slomljena, odbačena,
04:42
placed where they're not from, don't want to be missed.
99
267000
3000
smeštena gde ne pripadaju, ne žele da nedostaju.
04:45
Faced with absence.
100
270000
2000
Suočena sa odsustvom.
04:47
We mourn each one
101
272000
2000
Žalimo jedni za drugima
04:49
or we mean nothing at all.
102
274000
2000
ili ne značimo ni malo.
04:51
My spine curves spiral.
103
276000
3000
Moja kičma pravi spiralu.
04:54
Precipice running to and running from human beings.
104
279000
4000
Propast trči prema i od ljudskih bića.
04:58
Cluster bombs left behind.
105
283000
2000
Kasetne bombe ostaju.
05:00
De facto landmines.
106
285000
2000
Nagazne mine postaju.
05:02
A smoldering grief.
107
287000
2000
Tinjajuća tuga.
05:04
Harvest contaminated tobacco.
108
289000
3000
Žetva zagađenog duvana.
05:07
Harvest bombs.
109
292000
2000
Žetva bombi.
05:09
Harvest baby teeth.
110
294000
2000
Pobrani dečiji zubi.
05:11
Harvest palms, smoke.
111
296000
3000
Požnjevene palme, dim.
05:14
Harvest witness, smoke.
112
299000
3000
Oboreni svedoci, dim.
05:17
Resolutions, smoke.
113
302000
3000
Odluke, dim.
05:20
Salvation, smoke.
114
305000
3000
Spas, dim.
05:23
Redemption, smoke.
115
308000
2000
Iskupljenje, dim.
05:25
Breathe.
116
310000
2000
Diši.
05:27
Do not fear
117
312000
2000
Ne boj se
05:29
what has blown up.
118
314000
3000
onog što je dignuto u vazduh.
05:33
If you must,
119
318000
3000
Ako moraš,
05:36
fear the unexploded.
120
321000
4000
strahuj od neeksplodiranog.
05:40
Thank you.
