"What I Will"

2000
„Ko es ne...”
00:18
I will not dance to your war drum.
1
3000
3000
Es nedejošu pie tavām kara bungām.
00:22
I will not lend my soul nor my bones to your war drum.
2
7000
3000
Es nedošu savu dvēseli,
nedz savus pīšļus, tavām kara bungām.
nedz savus pīšļus, tavām kara bungām.
00:25
I will not dance to that beating.
3
10000
2000
Es nedejošu šajā ritmā.
00:27
I know that beat.
4
12000
2000
Es pazīstu šo ritmu.
00:29
It is lifeless.
5
14000
2000
Tas ir nedzīvs.
00:31
I know intimately that skin you are hitting.
6
16000
3000
Es personīgi pazinu ādu, pa kuru tu sit.
00:34
It was alive once,
7
19000
2000
Reiz tā bija dzīva,
00:36
hunted, stolen,
8
21000
2000
medīta, nolaupīta,
00:38
stretched.
9
23000
2000
izstiepta.
00:40
I will not dance to your drummed-up war.
10
25000
3000
Es nedejošu tavā piebungotajā kaujā.
00:43
I will not pop, spin, break for you.
11
28000
3000
Es nelekšu, negriezīšos un nelūzīšu tavā priekšā.
00:46
I will not hate for you
12
31000
2000
Es neienīdīšu tavā vietā,
00:48
or even hate you.
13
33000
2000
pat neienīdīšu tevi.
00:50
I will not kill for you.
14
35000
2000
Es nenogalināšu tavā labā.
00:52
Especially I will not die for you.
15
37000
4000
Jo īpaši, es nemiršu tavā vietā.
00:56
I will not mourn the dead with murder nor suicide.
16
41000
3000
Es nesērošu par mirušajiem ne ar slepkavību, nedz pašnāvību.
00:59
I will not side with you or dance to bombs
17
44000
2000
Es nebūšu tavā pusē un nedejošu ar bumbām,
01:01
because everyone is dancing.
18
46000
2000
jo dejo pārējie.
01:03
Everyone can be wrong.
19
48000
2000
Ikviens var kļūdīties.
01:05
Life is a right, not collateral or casual.
20
50000
4000
Dzīve ir tiesības, nevis grieznums vai pieradums.
01:09
I will not forget where I come from.
21
54000
2000
Es neaizmirsīšu, no kurienes nāku.
01:11
I will craft my own drum.
22
56000
2000
Es radīšu pati savas bungas.
01:13
Gather my beloved near,
23
58000
2000
Pulcēšu savus mīļotos,
01:15
and our chanting will be dancing.
24
60000
2000
kas pie mūsu dziesmām dejos.
01:17
Our humming will be drumming.
25
62000
2000
Mūsu dūkoņa būs rīboņa.
01:19
I will not be played.
26
64000
2000
Mani neviens neizmantos.
01:21
I will not lend my name nor my rhythm to your beat.
27
66000
4000
Es nedošu savu vārdu vai ritmu tavam ritmam.
01:25
I will dance and resist and dance and persist and dance.
28
70000
4000
Es dejošu un pretošos, dejošu un turēšos, un dejošu.
01:29
This heartbeat is louder than death.
29
74000
3000
Šie sirdspuksti ir skaļāki par nāvi.
01:32
Your war drum ain't louder
30
77000
2000
Tavas kara bungas nav skaļākas
01:34
than this breath. Haaa.
31
79000
4000
kā šī elpa. Hā.
01:38
What's up TED people? Let me hear you make some noise.
32
83000
3000
Kā iet, TED ļaudis? Es vēlos jūs dzirdēt.
01:41
(Applause)
33
86000
2000
(Aplausi)
01:43
A bunch of pacifists.
34
88000
3000
Bariņš pacifistu.
01:46
Confused, aspiring pacifists.
35
91000
3000
Apjukuši topošie pacifisti.
01:49
I understand.
36
94000
3000
Es saprotu.
01:53
I've been wrong a lot lately.
37
98000
3000
Pēdējā laikā es bieži esmu kļūdījusies.
01:58
Like a lot.
38
103000
2000
Tiešām bieži.
02:00
So I couldn't figure out
39
105000
3000
Tāpēc es nevarēju izdomāt,
02:03
what to read today.
40
108000
2000
ko šodien lasīt.
02:05
I mean, I've been saying I've been prepping.
41
110000
3000
Es saku, ka esmu gatavojusies.
02:08
What that means is prepping my outfit,
42
113000
2000
Ar to es domāju sagatavojusi savu apģērbu.
02:10
(Laughter)
43
115000
2000
(Smiekli)
02:12
prepping options,
44
117000
2000
sagatavojusi iespējas,
02:14
trying to figure out what I'm coming behind
45
119000
2000
centusies saprast, kam es palieku aizmugurē
02:16
and going in front of.
46
121000
3000
un kam eju pa priekšu.
02:19
Poetry does that.
47
124000
2000
To dara dzeja.
02:21
It preps you. It aims you.
48
126000
3000
Tā tevi sagatavo. Tā padara tevi mērķtiecīgu.
02:24
So I am going to read a poem
49
129000
2000
Es lasīšu dzejoli,
02:26
that was chosen just now.
50
131000
2000
kurš tika izvēlēts tik tikko.
02:28
But I'm going to need you
51
133000
2000
Taču man vajadzēs, lai jūs
02:30
to just sit for like 10 minutes
52
135000
2000
vienkārši sēdētu desmit minūtes
02:32
and hold a woman who is not here.
53
137000
3000
un turētu sievieti, kuras šeit nav.
02:35
Hold her now
54
140000
3000
Turiet viņu
02:38
with you.
55
143000
2000
kopā ar sevi.
02:42
You don't need to say her name out loud, you can just hold her.
56
147000
2000
Jums nevajag teikt viņas vārdu skaļi,
varat vienkārši viņu turēt.
varat vienkārši viņu turēt.
02:44
Are you holding her?
57
149000
2000
Vai jūs viņu turat?
02:49
This is "Break Clustered."
58
154000
3000
Dzejolis saucas „Salauzt to, kas saistīts.”
02:53
All holy history banned.
59
158000
4000
Visa svētā vēsture aizliegta.
02:57
Unwritten books predicted the future, projected the past.
60
162000
4000
Neuzrakstītās grāmatas pareģoja nākotni, parādīja pagātni.
03:01
But my head unwraps
61
166000
2000
Taču mana galva atraisās
03:03
around what appears limitless,
62
168000
3000
ap to, kas šķiet bez robežām,
03:06
man's creative violence.
63
171000
3000
vīrieša radošā vardarbība.
03:09
Whose son shall it be?
64
174000
3000
Kā dēls tas būs?
03:12
Which male child will perish a new day?
65
177000
4000
Kurš bērns izgaisīs nākamajā dienā?
03:16
Our boys' deaths galvanize.
66
181000
3000
Mūsu zēnu nāves stimulē.
03:19
We cherish corpses.
67
184000
2000
Mēs lolojam līķus.
03:21
We mourn women, complicated.
68
186000
2000
Mēs sērojam par sievietēm, sarežģīti.
03:23
Bitches get beat daily.
69
188000
2000
Kuces ik dienu tiek sistas.
03:25
Profits made, prophets ignored.
70
190000
3000
Gūta peļņa, neklausīti pravieši.
03:28
War and tooth, enameled salted lemon childhoods.
71
193000
3000
Karš un zobi, kā skābuma saēsta bērnība.
03:31
All colors run, none of us solid.
72
196000
3000
Visas krāsas mainās, neviens nav pastāvīgs.
03:34
Don't look for shadow behind me. I carry it within.
73
199000
3000
Nemeklē aiz manis ēnu. Es nesu to sevī.
03:37
I live cycles of light and darkness.
74
202000
3000
Es dzīvoju pēc tumsas un gaismas cikliem.
03:40
Rhythm is half silence.
75
205000
2000
Ritms ir puse no klusuma.
03:42
I see now, I never was one and not the other.
76
207000
3000
Nu es redzu, es nebiju viena vai kāda cita.
03:45
Sickness, health, tender violence.
77
210000
4000
Slimība, veselība, maiga vardarbība.
03:49
I think now I never was pure.
78
214000
2000
Nekad neesmu bijusi šķīsta.
03:51
Before form I was storm,
79
216000
3000
Pirms šīs dzīves es biju vētra,
03:54
blind, ign'ant -- still am.
80
219000
3000
akla, tumsīga, joprojām esmu.
03:57
Human contracted itself blind, malignant.
81
222000
3000
Cilvēks sevi pārvērtis par aklu, ļaunu.
04:00
I never was pure.
82
225000
2000
Nekad nebijusi šķīsta.
04:02
Girl spoiled before ripened.
83
227000
3000
Meitene sabojāta pirms nobriedusi.
04:05
Language can't math me.
84
230000
2000
Valoda nevar mani mācīt.
04:07
I experience exponentially.
85
232000
2000
Es gūstu pieredzi ar gadiem.
04:09
Everything is everything.
86
234000
3000
Viss ir visur.
04:12
One woman loses 15, maybe 20, members of her family.
87
237000
4000
Sieviete zaudē 15, varbūt 20 ģimenes locekļus.
04:16
One woman loses six.
88
241000
2000
Cita sešus.
04:18
One woman loses her head.
89
243000
2000
Vēl cita zaudē galvu.
04:20
One woman searches rubble. One woman feeds on trash.
90
245000
3000
Cita meklē oļus, cita pārtiek no atkritumiem.
04:23
One woman shoots her face. One woman shoots her husband.
91
248000
3000
Viena iešauj sev sejā, viena nošauj vīru.
04:26
One woman straps herself.
92
251000
2000
Viena sevi pakar.
04:28
One woman gives birth to a baby.
93
253000
2000
Cita dzemdē bērnu.
04:30
One woman gives birth to borders.
94
255000
2000
Cita rada jaunas robežas.
04:32
One woman no longer believes love will ever find her.
95
257000
3000
Cita vairs netic, ka mīlestība kādreiz to uzmeklēs.
04:35
One woman never did.
96
260000
2000
Kādu tiešām neatrada.
04:37
Where do refugee hearts go?
97
262000
3000
Kur lai dodas atraidītās sirdis?
04:40
Broken, dissed,
98
265000
2000
Salauztas, aizvainotas,
04:42
placed where they're not from, don't want to be missed.
99
267000
3000
novietotas svešumā, nevēlas tikt pamestas.
04:45
Faced with absence.
100
270000
2000
Saskārusies ar vientulību.
04:47
We mourn each one
101
272000
2000
Mēs sērojam par ikkatru
04:49
or we mean nothing at all.
102
274000
2000
vai esam vienaldzīgi pret visu.
04:51
My spine curves spiral.
103
276000
3000
Mans mugurkauls izliecas spirālē.
04:54
Precipice running to and running from human beings.
104
279000
4000
Bezdibenis sagūsta vai bēg no cilvēkiem.
04:58
Cluster bombs left behind.
105
283000
2000
Ķekarbumbas atstātas pagātnē.
05:00
De facto landmines.
106
285000
2000
Atklātas mīnas.
05:02
A smoldering grief.
107
287000
2000
Gruzdošas skumjas.
05:04
Harvest contaminated tobacco.
108
289000
3000
Novākta piesārņotā tabaka.
05:07
Harvest bombs.
109
292000
2000
Novāktas bumbas.
05:09
Harvest baby teeth.
110
294000
2000
Novākti bērnu zobi.
05:11
Harvest palms, smoke.
111
296000
3000
Novāktas palmas, dūmi.
05:14
Harvest witness, smoke.
112
299000
3000
Novākti liecinieki, dūmi.
05:17
Resolutions, smoke.
113
302000
3000
Atrisinājums, dūmi.
05:20
Salvation, smoke.
114
305000
3000
Glābiņš, dūmi.
05:23
Redemption, smoke.
115
308000
2000
Atpestījums, dūmi.
05:25
Breathe.
116
310000
2000
Elpo.
05:27
Do not fear
117
312000
2000
Nebīsties
05:29
what has blown up.
118
314000
3000
tā, kas reiz jau sprādzis.
05:33
If you must,
119
318000
3000
Ja jābaidās,
05:36
fear the unexploded.
120
321000
4000
tad no nesprāgušā.
05:40
Thank you.
121
325000

Paldies.
