Kaki King rocks out to "Playing with Pink Noise"

Translator: Schubert Malbas Reviewer: Polimar Balatbat

I was thinking about my place in the universe,

Iniisip ko ang lugar ko dito sa kalawakan,

and about my first thought about what infinity might mean,

at ang una kong akala tungkol sa kahulugan ng kawalang hanggan,

when I was a child.

noong ako ay bata pa.

And I thought that if time could reach

At naisip ko na kung saklaw ng oras

forwards and backwards infinitely,

ang daan pasulong at paurong sa kawalang hanggan,

doesn't that mean that

hindi ba't nangangahulugan na

every point in time is really infinitely small,

ang bawat kapirasong oras ay napakaliit,

and therefore somewhat meaningless.

at samakatuwid tila walang kahulugan.

So we don't really have a place in the universe,

Kaya wala talaga tayong lugar sa kalawakan,

as far as on a time line.

kung batay lamang sa hibla ng oras.

But nothing else does either.

Ngunit wala din namang lugar ang iba.

Therefore every moment really is the most important moment

Samakatuwid ang bawat sandali ay ang pinakamahalagang sandali

that's ever happened, including this moment right now.

na maaring mangyari, kasama na ang sandaling ito ngayon.

And so therefore this music you're about to hear

At samakatuwid ang musikang maririnig niyo ngayon

is maybe the most important music

ay marahil ang pinakamahalagang musika

you'll ever hear in your life.

na maririnig mo sa tanambuhay mo.

(Laughter)

(Tawanan)

(Applause)

(Palakpakan)

(Applause)

(Palakpakan)

Thank you.

Salamat.

(Applause)

(Palakpakan)

(Applause)

(Palakpakan)

For those of you who I'll be fortunate enough to meet afterwards,

Para sa inyong makikilala ko mamaya,

you could please refrain from saying,

maaari bang huwag niyo nang banggitin na,

"Oh my god, you're so much shorter in real life."

"Ay diyos ko, mas pandak ka pa pala sa totoong buhay."

(Laughter)

(Tawanan)

Because it's like the stage is an optical illusion,

Dahil ang entablado ay isang ilusyon sa mga mata,

for some reason.

sa ilang kadahilanan.

(Laughter)

(Tawanan)

Somewhat like the curving of the universe.

Kagaya lang ng pag-kurba ng kalawakan.

I don't know what it is. I get asked in interviews a lot,

Hindi ko alam kung ano 'yon. Lagi akong tinatanong sa mga interbyu,

"My god, you're guitars are so gigantic!"

"Diyos ko, napakalaki ng iyong mga gitara!"

(Laughter)

(Tawanan)

"You must get them custom made -- special, humongous guitars."

"Marahil pinasadya mo pa 'yan -- mga espesyal na malalaking gitara."

(Laughter)

(Tawanan)

(Applause)

(Palakpakan)

Thank you very much.

Maraming salamat.

(Applause)
