Thank you.

Tak.

Hi, everybody.

Hej allesammen.

Ban-gap-seum-ni-da.

Ban-gap-seum-ni-da.

I'd like to share with you a little bit of me

Jeg vil gerne dele med jer, en lille smule af mig,

playing my life.

der spiller mit liv.

I might look successful and happy

Jeg ser måske succesfuld og glad ud

being in front of you today,

foran jer i dag,

but I once suffered from severe depression

men jeg har engang lidt af en svær depression

and was in total despair.

og var i stor fortvivlelse.

The violin, which meant everything to me,

Violinen, som betød alt for mig,

became a grave burden on me.

blev en alvorlig byrde for mig.

Although many people tried to comfort and encourage me,

Selv om mange mennesker forsøgte at trøste og opmuntre mig,

their words sounded like meaningless noise.

så lød deres ord som meningsløst støj.

When I was just about to give everything up

Da jeg var lige ved at opgive alt

after years of suffering,

efter flere års lidelser,

I started to rediscover the true power of music.

begyndte jeg, at genopdage den sande effekt af musik.

(Musik)

In the midst of hardship,

Midt i modgangen

it was the music that gave me -- that restored my soul.

var det musikken, som gav mig min sjæl tilbage.

The comfort the music gave me

Den trøst som musikken gav mig

was just indescribable,

var simpelthen ubeskrivelig,

and it was a real eye-opening experience for me too,

og det var også en virkelig øjenåbnende oplevelse for mig selv,

and it totally changed my perspective on life

og det ændrede fuldstændigt mit syn på livet,

and set me free from the pressure

og frigjorde mig fra presset

of becoming a successful violinist.

til at blive en succesfuld violinist.

Do you feel like you are all alone?

Føler du dig helt alene?

I hope that this piece will touch and heal your heart,

Jeg håber, at dette stykke vil røre og helbrede dit hjerte,

as it did for me.

som det gjorde for mig.

Thank you.

Tak.

Now, I use my music to reach people's hearts

Nu bruger jeg min musik til at nå folks hjerter,

and have found there are no boundaries.

og har fundet ud af at er der ikke er nogle grænser.

My audience is anyone who is here to listen,

Min målgruppe er for enhver, som er her for at lytte,

even those who are not familiar with classical music.

selv dem, der ikke er bekendt med klassisk musik.

I not only play at the prestigious classical concert halls

Jeg spiller ikke kun på de prestigefyldte klassiske koncertsale

like Carnegie Hall and Kennedy Center,

som Carnegie Hall og Kennedy Center,

but also hospitals, churches, prisons,

men også på sygehuse, kirker, fængsler,

and restricted facilities for leprosy patients,

og faciliteter for spedalske patienter

just to mention a few.

bare for at nævne nogle få.

Now, with my last piece, I'd like to show you

Nu vil jeg med mit sidste stykke, gerne vise jer,

that classical music can be so much fun, exciting,

at klassisk musik kan være masser af sjov, spændende,

and that it can rock you.

og at det kan rocke jer.

Let me introduce you to my brand new project,

Lad mig introducere jer til mit helt nye projekt,

"Baroque in Rock,"

"Barok i Rock",

which became a golden disc most recently.

der fik en en Golden Disc-pris for nyligt.

It's such an honor for me.

Det er en stor ære for mig.

I think, while I'm enjoying my life as a happy musician,

Jeg tror, at mens jeg nyder mit liv som en glad musiker,

I'm earning a lot more recognition than I've ever imagined.

får jeg meget mere anerkendelse end jeg nogensinde havde forestillet mig.

But it's now your turn.

Men nu er det jeres tur.

Changing your perspectives

At ændre jeres perspektiver

will not only transform you but also the whole world.

vil ikke kun forandre jer, men også hele verden.

Just play your life with all you have,

Bare spil dit liv med alt hvad du har,

and share it with the world.

og del det med verden.

I really look forward to witnessing

Jeg ser virkelig frem til at overvære

a transforming world by you, TEDsters.

en forandrende verden af jer, TEDsters.

Play your life, and stay tuned.

Spil jeres liv, og hold jer skarpe.
