"Ono što hoću"
00:18
I will not dance to your war drum.
1
3000
3000
Neću plesati prema ritmu vašeg ratnog bubnja.
00:22
I will not lend my soul nor my bones to your war drum.
2
7000
3000
Neću posuditi svoju dušu ni svoje kosti vašem ratnom bubnju.
00:25
I will not dance to that beating.
3
10000
2000
Neću plesati na taj ritam.
00:27
I know that beat.
4
12000
2000
Znam taj ritam.
00:29
It is lifeless.
5
14000
2000
Beživotan je.
00:31
I know intimately that skin you are hitting.
6
16000
3000
Intimno poznajem kožu koju udarate.
00:34
It was alive once,
7
19000
2000
Bila je jednom živa,
00:36
hunted, stolen,
8
21000
2000
progonjena, ukradena,
00:38
stretched.
9
23000
2000
razapeta.
00:40
I will not dance to your drummed-up war.
10
25000
3000
Neću plesati na vaš bubanjski rat.
00:43
I will not pop, spin, break for you.
11
28000
3000
Neću pjevati pop, vrtjeti se, slomiti se za vas.
00:46
I will not hate for you
12
31000
2000
Neću mrziti za vas
00:48
or even hate you.
13
33000
2000
ili čak mrziti 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 umrijeti za vas.
00:56
I will not mourn the dead with murder nor suicide.
16
41000
3000
Neću žaliti za mrtvima ubijajući.
00:59
I will not side with you or dance to bombs
17
44000
2000
Neću prijeći na vašu stranu ili plesati s bombama
01:01
because everyone is dancing.
18
46000
2000
zato jer svi plešu.
01:03
Everyone can be wrong.
19
48000
2000
Svatko može biti u krivu.
01:05
Life is a right, not collateral or casual.
20
50000
4000
Život je pravo, ne jamstvo ili neformalnost.
01:09
I will not forget where I come from.
21
54000
2000
Neću zaboraviti otkuda potječem.
01:11
I will craft my own drum.
22
56000
2000
Izraditi ću svoj bubanj.
01:13
Gather my beloved near,
23
58000
2000
Dovesti ću svoje bližnje blizu,
01:15
and our chanting will be dancing.
24
60000
2000
i naše pjevanje će postati ples.
01:17
Our humming will be drumming.
25
62000
2000
Naše zujanje će postati bubnjanje.
01:19
I will not be played.
26
64000
2000
Neću biti izigrana.
01:21
I will not lend my name nor my rhythm to your beat.
27
66000
4000
Neću posuditi svoje ime i svoj ritam vašem ritmu.
01:25
I will dance and resist and dance and persist and dance.
28
70000
4000
Plesat ću i opirat ću se i plesat ću i biti ću uporna i plesat ću.
01:29
This heartbeat is louder than death.
29
74000
3000
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
Što je TED ljudi? Da vas čujem kako proizvodite buku.
01:41
(Applause)
33
86000
2000
(Pljesak)
01:43
A bunch of pacifists.
34
88000
3000
Hrpa pacifista.
01:46
Confused, aspiring pacifists.
35
91000
3000
Zbunjeni, slavoljubivi pacifisti.
01:49
I understand.
36
94000
3000
Shavaćam.
01:53
I've been wrong a lot lately.
37
98000
3000
Često sam bila u krivu zadnje vrijeme.
01:58
Like a lot.
38
103000
2000
Puno.
02:00
So I couldn't figure out
39
105000
3000
Stoga nisam mogla odlučiti
02:03
what to read today.
40
108000
2000
što ću čitati danas.
02:05
I mean, I've been saying I've been prepping.
41
110000
3000
Mislim, govorim kako sam se pripremala.
02:08
What that means is prepping my outfit,
42
113000
2000
To znači da sam pripremala svoju odjeću,
02:10
(Laughter)
43
115000
2000
(Smijeh)
02:12
prepping options,
44
117000
2000
pripremala opcije,
02:14
trying to figure out what I'm coming behind
45
119000
2000
pokušavajući shvatiti iza čega dolazim
02:16
and going in front of.
46
121000
3000
i ispred čega.
02:19
Poetry does that.
47
124000
2000
Poezija to radi.
02:21
It preps you. It aims you.
48
126000
3000
Priprema vas. Usmjerava vas.
02:24
So I am going to read a poem
49
129000
2000
Stoga ću pročitati pjesmu
02:26
that was chosen just now.
50
131000
2000
koja je upravo sada odabrana.
02:28
But I'm going to need you
51
133000
2000
Ali trebat ćete mi
02:30
to just sit for like 10 minutes
52
135000
2000
da samo sjedite nekih 10 minuta
02:32
and hold a woman who is not here.
53
137000
3000
i zagrlite ženu koja nije ovdje.
02:35
Hold her now
54
140000
3000
Prigrlite je sada
02:38
with you.
55
143000
2000
k sebi.
02:42
You don't need to say her name out loud, you can just hold her.
56
147000
2000
Ne morate izreći njezino ime naglas, možete je samo zagrliti.
02:44
Are you holding her?
57
149000
2000
Grlite li je?
02:49
This is "Break Clustered."
58
154000
3000
Ovo je "Izbavljenje grupirano".
02:53
All holy history banned.
59
158000
4000
Sva sveta povijest zabranjena.
02:57
Unwritten books predicted the future, projected the past.
60
162000
4000
Nenapisane knjige su predviđale budućnost, projicirale prošlost.
03:01
But my head unwraps
61
166000
2000
Ali moja glava se odmotava
03:03
around what appears limitless,
62
168000
3000
oko nečega što se doima bezgraničnim,
03:06
man's creative violence.
63
171000
3000
čovjekovim kreativnim nasiljem.
03:09
Whose son shall it be?
64
174000
3000
Čiji će sin biti?
03:12
Which male child will perish a new day?
65
177000
4000
Čije muško dijete će izginuti u novom danu?
03:16
Our boys' deaths galvanize.
66
181000
3000
Smrt naših dječaka je poticana.
03:19
We cherish corpses.
67
184000
2000
Mi njegujemo trupla.
03:21
We mourn women, complicated.
68
186000
2000
Mi oplakujemo žene, komplicirano.
03:23
Bitches get beat daily.
69
188000
2000
Kuje su pretučene svaki dan.
03:25
Profits made, prophets ignored.
70
190000
3000
Profiti su stvoreni, proroci se ignoriraju.
03:28
War and tooth, enameled salted lemon childhoods.
71
193000
3000
Rat i zubi emajlirani djetinjstvom slanih limuna.
03:31
All colors run, none of us solid.
72
196000
3000
Sve boje bježe, nitko od nas nije čvrst.
03:34
Don't look for shadow behind me. I carry it within.
73
199000
3000
Ne traži sjenu iza mene. Nosim je u sebi.
03:37
I live cycles of light and darkness.
74
202000
3000
Volim cikluse svjetla 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
Vidim sada, nikada nisam bila jedno a ne drugo.
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
Mislim sada kako nikada nisam bila čista.
03:51
Before form I was storm,
79
216000
3000
Prije oblika ja sam bila oluja,
03:54
blind, ign'ant -- still am.
80
219000
3000
slijepa, neznalica -- još uvijek jesam.
03:57
Human contracted itself blind, malignant.
81
222000
3000
Ljudi su se ograničili sljepoćom, malignošću.
04:00
I never was pure.
82
225000
2000
Nikada nisam bila čista.
04:02
Girl spoiled before ripened.
83
227000
3000
Djevojka pokvarena prije nego je sazrijela.
04:05
Language can't math me.
84
230000
2000
Jezik nije matematika za mene.
04:07
I experience exponentially.
85
232000
2000
Ja 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
Jedna žena izgubi 15, možda 20, članova svoje obitelji.
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 izgubi svoju glavu.
04:20
One woman searches rubble. One woman feeds on trash.
90
245000
3000
Jedna žena pretražuje ruševine. Jedna se žena hrani smećem.
04:23
One woman shoots her face. One woman shoots her husband.
91
248000
3000
Jedna si žena propuca lice. Jedna žena upuca svog muža.
04:26
One woman straps herself.
92
251000
2000
Jedna žena se veže.
04:28
One woman gives birth to a baby.
93
253000
2000
Jedna žena rodi dijete.
04:30
One woman gives birth to borders.
94
255000
2000
Jedna žena rodi granice.
04:32
One woman no longer believes love will ever find her.
95
257000
3000
Jedna žena više ne vjeruje kako će je ljubav ikada pronaći.
04:35
One woman never did.
96
260000
2000
Jedna žena nikada nije.
04:37
Where do refugee hearts go?
97
262000
3000
Gdje odlazi izbjegličko srce?
04:40
Broken, dissed,
98
265000
2000
Slomljeno,
04:42
placed where they're not from, don't want to be missed.
99
267000
3000
smješteno tamo otkuda ona nisu, ne žele da budu odsutne.
04:45
Faced with absence.
100
270000
2000
Suočene s odsutnošću.
04:47
We mourn each one
101
272000
2000
Oplakujemo jedna drugu
04:49
or we mean nothing at all.
102
274000
2000
ili ne značimo ništa.
04:51
My spine curves spiral.
103
276000
3000
Moja kralježnica se oblikuje u spiralu.
04:54
Precipice running to and running from human beings.
104
279000
4000
Bezdan bježi k i bježi od ljudskih bića.
04:58
Cluster bombs left behind.
105
283000
2000
Grupne bombe su ostavljene.
05:00
De facto landmines.
106
285000
2000
De facto nagazne mine.
05:02
A smoldering grief.
107
287000
2000
Tinjajuća žalost.
05:04
Harvest contaminated tobacco.
108
289000
3000
Berba kontaminiranog duhana.
05:07
Harvest bombs.
109
292000
2000
Berba bombi.
05:09
Harvest baby teeth.
110
294000
2000
Berba dječjih zubi.
05:11
Harvest palms, smoke.
111
296000
3000
Berba dlanova, dima.
05:14
Harvest witness, smoke.
112
299000
3000
Berba svjedoka, dima.
05:17
Resolutions, smoke.
113
302000
3000
Rezolucije, dim.
05:20
Salvation, smoke.
114
305000
3000
Spasenje, 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
Nemojte se bojati
05:29
what has blown up.
118
314000
3000
onoga što je eksplodiralo.
05:33
If you must,
119
318000
3000
Ako morate,
05:36
fear the unexploded.
120
321000
4000
bojite se onoga što nije.
05:40
Thank you.
121
