1
6000
4000
今夜能在这里演唱真是荣幸，
00:22
and I'm really glad that I stayed here and listened
2
10000
6000
我很高兴自己待在这里聆听，
00:28
because I've really been inspired.
3
16000

因为我真的受到了不小的启迪。
00:31
And I'm going to play some songs for you tonight
4
19000
5000
今夜我将为你们演奏一些曲子，
00:36
that are, literally, world premieres.
5
24000
2000
这真的是我的首次世界公演。
00:38
I've been working on my new record
6
26000
2000
我一直在为我的新唱片付出努力
00:40
and I've never played these songs for anybody
7
28000
2000
还没有为任何人演唱过这些歌曲
00:42
except the microphone.
8
30000
2000
除了我的麦克风。
00:44
This is a song that I wrote
9
32000
3000
我写的这首歌
00:48
about the meaning of technology,
10
36000
5000
是关于科技的意义，
00:53
which goes perfectly with this gathering.
11
41000
3000
这和我们这次集会的目的暗合。
00:56
I started thinking about -- when I was in college,
12
44000
3000
我开始想起我在大学的时光，
00:59
especially as a blind person,
13
47000
3000
尤其是作为一个盲人学生，
01:02
doing a research paper was a major undertaking.
14
50000
4000
做一份学术论文是一个重要的任务。
01:06
You had to go to the library,
15
54000
2000
你得去图书馆，
01:08
see if you could get them to find the books for you,
16
56000
3000
看看你能不能麻烦别人帮你找到你要的书籍，
01:11
you know, footnotes and all that.
17
59000
2000
你知道的，还要做脚注等等。
01:13
Now you can just go on Google. Just look it up.
18
61000
3000
现在你只需要谷歌一下。只要在那上面查一下。
01:16
I wish I had that when I was in college.
19
64000
3000
我希望我在大学时就有这个网。
01:19
Anyway, this is a song about:
20
67000
3000
不论怎样，这首歌是关于--
01:22
we have all this, but what are we going to do with it?
21
70000
4000
我们都能接触到这些科技，但我们该怎样应对它们？
01:26

10000
（观众掌声）
06:03
Thank you.
92
351000
3000
谢谢
06:06
Whew! It's a miracle I didn't make any mistakes on that song.
93
354000
5000
呼！这首歌我一点错都没犯，真是个奇迹。
06:11
That's the first time I've ever played it.
94
359000
3000
这是我第一次演奏它。
06:14
(Applause)
95
362000
3000
（观众掌声）
06:20
It's a "feel the fear and do it anyway" kind of thing.
96
368000
4000
这是种“感到恐惧但是还是迎头而上”的事。
06:26
This next song is a song
97
374000
3000
下面这首歌
06:29
that started out as a dream -- a childhood dream.
98
377000
3000
来自一个梦境--一个儿时的梦。
06:32
It was one of the titles
99
380000
3000
它的歌名
06:35
that I was sort of thinking about calling my record,
100
383000
4000
是我设想里的专辑名之一
06:39
except there's a couple of problems.
101
387000
2000
除了有几个问题
06:41
One thing is, it's unpronounceable.
102
389000
3000
一个是它很难发音。
06:44
And it's a made-up word.
103
392000
2000
并且它是个造出来的词。
06:46
It's called "Tembererana."
104
394000
2000
它叫“弹拨若然娜”。
06:48
And the song is based on
105
396000
2000
这首歌的基础
06:50
what I think was my first
106
398000
3000
我觉得是我的第一次
06:53
childhood attempts
107
401000
3000
儿时的尝试
06:56
to think about invisible forces.
108
404000
3000
去思索看不见的力量。
06:59
So "tembererana" was these dreams,
109
407000
4000
所以“弹拨若然娜”就是这些梦境
07:03
in which I would be running away
110
411000
3000
在梦中，我想从
07:06
from bad feelings -- is the only way I can put it.
111
414000
3000
坏情绪中逃走--我只能这样去表达它。
07:09
So this is called "Tembererana."
112
417000
4000
所以这就是我的“弹拨若然娜”。
07:13
It's based on an Argentinian rhythm
113
421000
3000
它以一个阿根廷韵调为基础
07:16
called "carnivalito."
114
424000
2000
一个小型嘉年华的韵调。

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Raul Midon - GuitaristGuitarist and singer Raul Midon blends flamenco, jazz and R&B to create a category-defying sound. His life story is as inspiring as his musical vision.
Why you should listen
Raul Midon is into beating the odds, shattering stereotypes, and making category-defying music. "I was told as a child, 'You're blind; you can't do this,'" Midon told an interviewer in 2005. "I was told when I moved to New York, 'You can't do that, you're not going to make it.'" At 40, however, Midon has clearly made it.
After singing backup vocals for stars like Shakira, Julio Iglesias, Jennifer Lopez and Christina Aguilera, Midon released his major-label solo debut, State of Mind, with help from guest artist Jason Mraz. Midon's innovative songwriting incorporates his lyrics, guitar handiwork (jazz, classical, flamenco, R&B) and "vocal trumpet" improvisation. Though he draws comparisons to Stevie Wonder, Donny Hathaway and Richie Havens, Midon is the rare original in an industry of few.
His latest album is A World Within a World.
