Rives: The Museum of Four in the Morning

Prevoditelj: Ivan Stamenković Recezent: Senzos Osijek

The most romantic thing to ever happen to me online

Najromantičnija stvar koja mi se ikad dogodila online

started out the way most things do:

počela je kao i većina stvari:

without me, and not online.

bez mene, i nije bila online.

On December 10, 1896, the man on the medal,

10. prosinca 1896., čovjek na medalji,

Alfred Nobel, died.

Alfred Nobel je umro.

One hundred years later, exactly, actually,

Sto godina kasnije, točno, zapravo,

December 10, 1996,

10. prosinca 1996.

this charming lady, Wislawa Szymborska,

ova šarmantna dama, Wislawa Szymborska,

won the Nobel Prize for literature.

dobila je Nobelovu nagradu za književnost.

She's a Polish poet.

Ona je poljski pjesnik.

She's a big deal, obviously,

Ona je velika stvar, očito,

but back in '96, I thought I had never heard of her,

ali 96-te, mislio sam da nisam nikad čuo za nju,

and when I checked out her work,

i kada sam provjerio njen rad,

I found this sweet little poem,

našao sam ovu slatku malu pjesmu,

"Four in the Morning."

"Četiri ujutro."

"The hour from night to day.

"Sat od noći do dana.

The hour from side to side.

Sat od strane do strane.

The hour for those past thirty..."

Sat za one koji su prošli tridesetu..."

And it goes on, but as soon as I read this poem,

I ide dalje, ali čim sam pročitao ovu pjesmu,

I fell for it hard,

zaljubio sam se u nju,

so hard, I suspected we must have met

tako snažno, da sam posumnjao da smo se sreli

somewhere before.

negdje prije.

Had I shared an elevator ride with this poem?

Jesam li se vozio u liftu s ovom pjesmom?

Did I flirt with this poem

Jesam li očijukao s ovom pjesmom

in a coffee shop somewhere?

u nekom kafiću negdje?

I could not place it, and it bugged me,

Nisam to mogao smjestiti, i mučilo me,

and then in the coming week or two,

i onda u sljedećih tjedan ili dva

I would just be watching an old movie,

gledao bih stari film,

and this would happen.

i ovo bi se dogodilo.

(Video) Groucho Marx: Charlie, you should have come to the first party.

(Video) Groucho Marx: Charlie, trebao si doći na prvu zabavu.

We didn't get home till around four in the morning.

Nismo došli kući do četiri ujutro.

Rives: My roommates would have the TV on,

Rives: Moji cimeri bi imali uključen TV,

and this would happen.

i ovo bi se dogodilo.

(Music: Seinfeld theme)

(Glazba: Tema iz Seinfelda)

(Video) George Costanza: Oh boy, I was up til four in the morning

(Video) George Costanza: O čovječe, bio sam budan do četiri ujutro

watching that Omen trilogy.

gledajući Omen trilogiju.

Rives: I would be listening to music,

Rives: Slušao bih glazbu,

and this would happen.

i ovo bi se dogodilo.

(Video) Elton John: ♪ It's four o'clock in the morning, damn it. ♪

(Video) Elton John: ♪ Četiri ujutro je, dovraga. ♪

Rives: So you can see what was going on, right?

Rives: Dakle, vidite što se događalo?

Obviously, the demigods of coincidence

Očito su se polubogovi slučajnosti

were just messing with me.

samo poigravali samnom.

Some people get a number stuck in their head,

Nekim ljudima se broj zaglavi u glavi,

you may recognize a certain name or a tune,

možda prepoznate ime ili pjesmu,

some people get nothing, but four in the morning

netko ne prepozna ništa, ali četiri ujutro

was in me now, but mildly,

bilo je sada u meni, ali blago,

like a groin injury.

kao ozlijeda prepone.

I always assumed it would just go away

Uvijek sam pretpostavljao da će otići

on its own eventually,

samo od sebe, kad tad,

and I never talked about it with anybody,

i nisam nikad ni s kim razgovarao o tome,

but it did not, and I totally did.

ali nije otišlo, i razgovarao sam.

In 2007, I was invited to speak at TED

2007. pozvan sam da pričam na TED-u

for the second time,

drugi put,

and since I was still an authority on nothing,

i pošto sam još uvijek autoritet u ničem,

I thought, what if I made a multimedia presentation

pomislio sam, što ako napravim multimedijsku prezentaciju

on a topic so niche

o temi tako specifičnoj

it is actually inconsequential

da je zapravo nedosljedna

or actually cockamamie.

ili zapravo glupost.

So my talk had some of my four in the morning examples,

Tako da je moj govor imao neke moje primjere o četiri ujutro,

but it also had examples

ali je također imao primjere

from my fellow TED speakers that year.

mojih TED sugovornika te godine.

I found four in the morning in a novel

Našao sam četiri ujutro u knjizi

by Isabel Allende.

Isabel Allende.

I found a really great one

Našao sam jedan odličan

in the autobiography of Bill Clinton.

u autobiografiji Billa Clintona.

I found a couple in the work of Matt Groening,

Našao sam nekoliko u radu Matta Groeninga,

although Matt Groening told me later

iako mi je Matt Groening rekao kasnije

that he could not make my talk

because it was a morning session

da ne može doći na moj govor

jer je jutranja sesija

and I gather that he is not an early riser.

i pretpostavljam da se on ne ustaje rano.

However, had Matt been there,

No ipak, da je Matt bio tamo,

he would have seen this mock conspiracy theory

vidio bi ovu lažnu teoriju zavjere

that was un-freaking-canny for me to assemble.

koja je bila pre nevjerojatna da bih ju složio.

It was totally contrived

Bila je potpuno neprirodna

just for that room, just for that moment.

samo za tu sobu, samo za taj trenutak.

That's how we did it in the pre-TED.com days.

Tako smo to radili u danima prije TED.com.

It was fun. That was pretty much it.

Bilo je zabavno. Ali to je bilo to.

When I got home, though, the emails started coming in

Ipak, kada sam stigao kući, počeli su stizati mailovi

from people who had seen the talk live,

od ljudi koji su vidjeli govor uživo,

beginning with, and this is still my favorite,

počevši od, i ovaj je još uvijek moj najdraži,

"Here's another one for your collection:

"Evo još jednog za novu kolekciju:

'It's the friends you can call up at 4 a.m. that matter.'"

'Prijatelji koje možete nazvati u 4 ujutru su oni koji su važni.'"

The sentiment is Marlene Dietrich.

Misao je od Marlene Dietrich.

The email itself was from another very

A mail je jednog drugog vrlo

sexy European type,

seksi Europskog tipa,

TED Curator Chris Anderson.

TED Kustos Chris Anderson.

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

Chris found this quote

Chris je našao ovaj citat

on a coffee cup or something,

na šalici za kavu ili nešto,

and I'm thinking, this man is the Typhoid Mary

i ja si mislim, ovaj čovjek je Tifusna Mary

of ideas worth spreading, and I have infected him.

ideja vrijednih širenja, i ja sam ga zarazio.

I am contagious,

Ja sam zarazan,

which was confirmed less than a week later

što se potvrdilo nakon manje od tjedna

when a Hallmark employee scanned and sent

kada je Hallmarkova zaposlenica skenirala i poslala

an actual greeting card

stvarnu čestitku

with that same quotation.

sa istim tim citatom.

As a bonus, she hooked me up with a second one they make.

Kao bonus, poslala mi je drugu koju prave.

It says, "Just knowing I can call you

Kaže, "Samo što znam da te mogu nazvati

at four in the morning if I need to

u četiri ujutro ako trebam

makes me not really need to,"

mi je dovoljno da te ne moram nazvati,"

which I love, because together these are like,

što volim, jer ove dvije zajedno su zapravo,

"Hallmark: When you care enough

"Hallmark: Kad vam je stalo dovoljno

to send the very best twice,

da pošaljete najbolje dva puta,

phrased slightly differently."

malo drugačije frazirano."

I was not surprised at the TEDster

Nisam se iznenadio da se TEDsteri

and New Yorker magazine overlap.

i New Yorker časopis preklapaju.

A bunch of people sent me this when it came out.

Mnoštvo ljudi mi je poslalo ovo kad je izašlo.

"It's 4 a.m.—maybe you'd sleep better if you bought some crap."

"Četiri ujutro je -- možda bi ste bolje spavali da ste kupili neku glupost."

I was surprised at the TEDster/"Rugrats" overlap.

Iznenadilo me TEDster/"Rugrats" preklapanje.

More than one person sent me this.

Više od jedne osobe poslalo mi je ovo.

(Video) Didi Pickles: It's four o'clock in the morning.

(Video) Didi Pickles: Četiri sata ujutro je.

Why on Earth are you making chocolate pudding?

Zašto pobogu praviš puding od čokolade?

Stu Pickles: Because I've lost control of my life.

Stu Pickles: Jer sam izgubio kontrolu nad svojim životom.

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

Rives: And then there was the lone TEDster

Rives: I postojao je jedan usamljeni TEDster

who was disgruntled I had overlooked

koji je bio ljut što nisam vidio

what he considers to be a classic.

ono što je za njega klasik.

(Video) Roy Neary: Get up, get up! I'm not kidding. Ronnie Neary: Is there an accident?

(Video) Roy Neary: Ustaj, ustaj! Ne šalim se. Ronnie Neary: Je li se dogodila nesreća?

Roy: No, it's not an accident. You wanted to get out of the house anyway, right?

Roy: Ne, nije se dogodila nesreća. Htio si izaći iz kuće zar ne?

Ronnie: Not at four o'clock in the morning.

Ronnie: Ne u četiri ujutro.

Rives: So that's "Close Encounters,"

Rives: Dakle, to su "Bliski Susreti,"

and the main character is all worked up

i glavni lik je uzbuđen

because aliens, momentously,

jer su se izvanzemaljci

have chosen to show themselves to earthlings

odlučili pokazati zemljanima

at four in the morning,

u četiri ujutro,

which does make that a very solid example.

što to zaista čini vrlo dobrim primjerom.

Those were all really solid examples.

To su sve bili vrlo dobri primjeri.

They did not get me any closer to understanding

Nisu me doveli bliže tome da shvatim

why I thought I recognized this one particular poem.

zašto sam mislio da prepoznajem ovu pjesmu.

But they followed the pattern. They played along.

Ali sljedili su uzorak. Surađivali su.

Right? Four in the morning as this scapegoat hour

Zar ne? Četiri ujutro kao ovaj sat za žrtvovanje

when all these dramatic occurrences

kada se sve ove dramatične pojave

allegedly occur.

navodno događaju.

Maybe this was some kind of cliche

Možda je ovo bio neki kliše

that had never been taxonomized before.

koji nikad prije nije prepoznat.

Maybe I was on the trail

Možda sam bio na tragu

of a new meme or something.

novog memea ili nešto.

Just when things were getting pretty interesting,

Baš kad su stvari postajale zanimljive,

things got really interesting.

stvari su postale stvarno zanimljive.

TED.com launched, later that year,

TED.com je lansiran kasnije te godine,

with a bunch of videos from past talks,

sa mnoštvom videa prijašnjih govora,

including mine,

uključujući moj,

and I started receiving "four in the morning" citations

i počeo sam primati citate "četiri ujutro"

from what seemed like every time zone on the planet.

iz, kako se tada činilo, svake vremenske zone na planeti.

Much of it was content I never would have found

Mnoštvo ovog sadržaja ne bih nikad pronašao

on my own if I was looking for it,

sam da sam ga tražio,

and I was not.

i nisam.

I don't know anybody with juvenile diabetes.

Ne poznajem nikog sa mladenačkim dijabetesom.

I probably would have missed the booklet,

Vrlo vjerojatno bih propustio knjižicu,

"Grilled Cheese at Four O'Clock in the Morning."

"Pohani Sir u Četiri Ujutro"

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

I do not subscribe to Crochet Today! magazine,

Nisam pretplaćen na časopis Heklanje Danas!,

although it looks delightful. (Laughter)

iako izgleda divno. (Smijeh)

Take note of those clock ends.

Pogledajte završetak satova.

This is a college student's suggestion

To je prijedlog studenta

for what a "four in the morning" gang sign

kako bi znak "četiri ujutro" bande

should look like.

trebao izgledati.

People sent me magazine ads.

Ljudi su mi slali oglase iz časopisa.

They took photographs in grocery stores.

Slikali su u trgovinama.

I got a ton of graphic novels and comics.

Imam tonu grafičkih romana i stripova.

A lot of good quality work, too:

Puno dobrog, kvalitetnog rada također:

"The Sandman," "Watchmen."

"The Sandman," "Čuvari".

There's a very cute example here from "Calvin and Hobbes."

Ovo je vrlo simpatičan primjer iz "Calvina i Hobbesa"

In fact, the oldest citation anybody sent in

Zapravo, najstariji citat koji je netko poslao

was from a cartoon from the Stone Age.

bio je u crtiću iz Kamenog doba.

Take a look.

Pogledajte.

(Video) Wilma Flintstone: Like how early?

(Video) Wilma Flinstone: Koliko rano?

Fred Flintstone: Like at 4 a.m., that's how early.

Fred Flinston: Kao u četiri ujutro, toliko rano.

Rives: And the flip side of the timeline,

Rives: I druga strana ovog tijeka,

this is from the 31st century.

ovo je iz 31. stoljeća.

A thousand years from now,

Tisuću godina od sada,

people are still doing this.

ljudi to još uvijek čine.

(Video): Announcer: The time is 4 a.m.

(Video): Najavljivač: Vrijeme je 4 ujutro.

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

Rives: It shows the spectrum.

Rives: To pokazuje spektar.

I received so many songs, TV shows, movies,

Primio sam tako puno pjesama, TV serija, filmova,

like from dismal to famous,

od sumornih do slavnih,

I could give you a four-hour playlist.

mogao bih vam dati listu od četiri sata.

If I just stick to modern male movie stars,

Ako se držim modernih muških filmskih zvijezda,

I keep it to the length

zadržat ću se na dužini

of about a commercial.

jedne reklame.

Here's your sampler.

Evo vam uzorka.

(Movie montage of "It's 4 a.m.")

(Filmska montaža "4 ujutro je")

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

Rives: So somewhere along the line,

Rives: Negdje usput,

I realized I have a hobby

shvatio sam da imam hobi

I didn't know I wanted,

za koji nisam znao da ga želim,

and it is crowdsourced.

a to je crowdsourcan.

But I was also thinking what you might be thinking,

Ali razmišljao sam onako kako vi možda razmišljate,

which is really, couldn't you do this

što je zapravo, zar ne bi mogli ovo činiti

with any hour of the day?

s bilo kojim satom u danu?

First of all, you are not getting clips like that

Prvo, ne dobijate takve isječke

about four in the afternoon.

o četiri popodne.

Secondly, I did a little research.

Drugo, malo sam istraživao.

You know, I was kind of interested.

Bio sam nekako zainteresiran,

If this is confirmation bias,

da provjerim je li ova potvrda pristrana,

there is so much confirmation, I am biased.

postoji toliko potvrde, da sam ja pristran.

Literature probably shows it best.

Književnost to možda najbolje pokazuje.

There are a couple three in the mornings in Shakespeare.

Tu je nekoliko tri ujutro u Shakespeareu.

There's a five in the morning.

Postoji pet ujutro.

There are seven four in the mornings,

Postoji sedam četiri ujutro

and they're all very dire.

i svi su vrlo grozni.

In "Measure for Measure," it's the call time for the executioner.

U "Mjeri za mjeru". to je vrijeme za pozvati izvršitelja.

Tolstoy gives Napoleon insomnia

Tolstoy daje Napoleonu nesanicu

at four in the morning right before battle

u četiri ujutro baš prije borbe

in "War and Peace."

u "Ratu i Miru."

Charlotte Brontë's "Jane Eyre" has got kind of

"Jane Eyre" Charlotte Bronte ima nekakav

a pivotal four in the morning,

zaokret u četiri ujutro

as does Emily Brontë's "Wuthering Heights."

kao što ima "Withering Heights" Emily Bronte.

"Lolita" has as a creepy four in the morning.

"Lolita" ima jezivo 4 ujutro.

"Huckleberry Finn" has one in dialect.

"Huckleberry Finn" ima jedan na dijalektu.

Someone sent in H.G. Wells' "The Invisible Man."

Netko je poslao "Nevidljivog čovjeka" od H.G. Wellsa.

Someone else sent in Ralph Ellison's "Invisible Man."

Netko drugi poslao je "Nevidljivog čovjeka" Ralpha Ellisona.

"The Great Gatsby" spends the last

"Veliki Gatsby" provodi zadnjih

four in the morning of his life

četiri ujutro svog života

waiting for a lover who never shows,

čekajući ljubavnicu koja nikad ne dolazi,

and the most famous wake-up in literature, perhaps,

i možda jedno od najpoznatijih buđenja u književnosti,

"The Metamorphosis."

"Preobrazba".

First paragraph, the main character wakes up

Prvo poglavlje, glavni lik se budi

transformed into a giant cockroach,

pretvoren u ogromnog žohara,

but we already know, cockroach notwithstanding,

ali već znamo, bez žohara,

something is up with this guy.

nešto nije u redu s ovim tipom.

Why? His alarm is set for four o'clock in the morning.

Zašto? Njegov alarm namješten je na četiri ujutro.

What kind of person would do that?

Kakva bi osoba to učinila?

This kind of person would do that.

Ovakav tip osobe bi to učinio.

(Music)

(Glazba)

(4 a.m. alarm clock montage)

(Montaža alarma u 4 ujutro)

(Video) Newcaster: Top of the hour. Time for the morning news.

(Video) Novinar: Dobro vam jutro. Vrijeme je za jutarnje vijesti.

But of course, there is no news yet.

No naravno, još nema vijesti.

Everyone's still asleep in their comfy, comfy beds.

Svi još spavaju u svojim udobnim krevetima.

Rives: Exactly.

Rives: Točno.

So that's Lucy from the Peanuts,

Ovo je Lucy iz Peanutsa-

"Mommie Dearest", Rocky, first day of training,

"Majko najdraža". Rocky, prvi dan treninga.

Nelson Mandela, first day in office,

Nelson Mandela, prvi dan u uredu,

and Bart Simpson, which combined with a cockroach

i Bart Simpson, što bi vam u kombinaciji sa žoharom

would give you one hell of a dinner party

dalo jednu vrašku večernju zabavu

and gives me yet another category,

i daje mi još jednu kategoriju,

people waking up, in my big old database.

ljudi koji se bude, u mojoj staroj velikoj bazi podataka.

Just imagine that your friends and your family

Zamislite samo da vaši prijatelji i obitelj

have heard that you collect, say, stuffed polar bears,

čuju da skupljate, recimo, plišane polarne medvjede,

and they send them to you.

i šalju vam ih.

Even if you don't really, at a certain point,

Čak i ako ne radite to zapravo, u jednom trenutku,

you totally collect stuffed polar bears,

stvarno skupljate plišane polarne medvjede,

and your collection is probably pretty kick-ass.

i vaša kolekcija je poprilično dobra.

And when I got to that point, I embraced it.

I kada sam došao do te točke, prigrlio sam to.

I got my curator on. I started fact checking,

Postao sam kustos. Počeo sam provjeravati činjenice,

downloading, illegally screen-grabbing.

skidati, ilegalno hvatati sadržaj s ekrana.

I started archiving.

Počeo sam arhivirati.

My hobby had become a habit,

Moj hobi postao je navika,

and my habit gave me possibly the world's

i moja navika dala mi je možda

most eclectic Netflix queue.

naj eklektičniji Netflix izbor na svijetu.

At one point, it went, "Guys and Dolls: The Musical,"

U jednoj točki bilo je, "Dečki i lutke: Mjuzikl,"

"Last Tango in Paris,"

"Posljednji Tango u Parizu,"

"Diary of a Wimpy Kid,"

"Dnevnik slabića."

"Porn Star: Legend of Ron Jeremy."

"Porno Zvijezda: Legenda o Ronu Jeremyu."

Why "Porn Star: Legend of Ron Jeremy"?

Zašto "Porno Zvijezda: Legenda o Ronu Jeremyu"?

Because someone told me I would find this clip in there.

Jer mi je netko rekao da ću ondje naći ovaj isječak.

(Video) Ron Jeremy: I was born

(Video) Ron Jeremy: Rođen sam

in Flushing, Queens

u Flushingu, u Queensu

on March, 12, 1953,

12. Ožujka 1953.

at four o'clock in the morning.

u četiri ujutro.

Rives: Of course he was. (Laughter) (Applause)

Rives: Naravno da jest. (Smijeh) (Pljesak)

Yeah. Not only does it seem to make sense,

Da. Ne samo da ima smisla,

it also answers the question,

nego i odgovara na pitanje,

"What do Ron Jeremy and Simone de Beauvoir

"Što Ron Jeremy i Simone de Beauvoir

have in common?"

imaju zajedničko?"

Simone de Beauvoir begins her entire autobiography

Simone de Beauvoir započinje svoju autobiografiju

with the sentence, "I was born at four o'clock in the morning,"

rečenicom "Rođena sam u četiri sata ujutro,"

which I had because someone else had emailed it to me,

što sam imao jer mi je netko drugo poslao e-mail,

and when they did, I had another bump up

i kada su to učinili, imao sam još jedan dodatak

in my entry for this, because porn star Ron Jeremy

ovom unosu, jer porno zvijezda Ron Jeremy

and feminist Simone de Beauvoir

i feministica Simone de Beauvoir

are not just different people.

ne samo da su različiti ljudi.

They are different people that have this thing connecting them,

Oni su različiti ljudi koji imaju ovu stvar koja ih povezuje,

and I did not know if that is trivia or knowledge

i nisam znao da li je ovo trivijalnost ili znanje

or inadvertent expertise, but I did wonder,

ili nepažljiva stručnost, ali sam se pitao,

is there maybe a cooler way to do this?

postoji li bolji način da ovo radim?

So last October, in gentleman scholar tradition,

Prošlog listopada, u tradiciji gospodina znanstvenika,

I put the entire collection online

stavio sam cijelu kolekciju online

as "Museum of Four in the Morning."

kao "Muzej Četiri Ujutro".

You can click on that red "refresh" button.

Možete kliknuti crveno "osvježi" dugme.

It will take you at random to one of

stotina isječaka koji su u kolekciji.

Here is a knockout poem

Evo odlične pjesme

by Billy Collins called "Forgetfulness."

Billy Collins naziva "Zaboravnost".

(Video) Billy Collins: No wonder you rise

(Video) Billy Collins: Nije čudo da se dižeš

in the middle of the night

usred noći

to look up the date of a famous battle

kako bi pogledao datum slavne bitke

in a book on war.

u knjizi o ratu.

No wonder the moon in the window

Nije čudo da je mjesec u prozoru

seems to have drifted out of a love poem

naizgled isplovio iz ljubavne pjesme

that you used to know by heart.

koju si znao na pamet.

Rives: So the first hour of this project

Rives: Prvi sat ovog projekta

was satisfying.

bio je zadovoljavajući.

A Bollywood actor sang a line on a DVD in a cafe.

Glumac iz Bollywoda otpjevao je redak na DVD-u u kafiću.

Half a globe away, a teenager

Preko pola svijeta, tinejdžer

made an Instagram video of it and sent it to me,

je napravio instagram video toga i poslao mi,

a stranger.

stranac.

Less than a week later, though,

NO nakon tjedan dana,

I received a little bit of grace.

primio sam malo milosti.

I received a poignant tweet.

Primio sam dirljiv tweet.

It was brief.

Bio je kratak.

It just said, "Reminds me of an ancient mix tape."

Samo je rekao, "Podsjeća me na staru miks kazetu."

The name was a pseudonym, actually, or a pseudo-pseudonym.

Ime je bilo pseudonim, zapravo, ili pseuod-pseudonim.

As soon as I saw the initials, and the profile pic,

Čim sam vidio inicijale, i profilnu sliku,

I knew immediately, my whole body knew

znao sam odmah, cijelo moje tijelo znalo je

immediately who this was,

odmah tko je to,

and I knew immediately

i znao sam odmah

what mix tape she was talking about.

o kojoj miks kazeti priča.

(Music)

(Glazba)

L.D. was my college romance.

L.D. je bila moja ljubav s fakulteta.

This is in the early '90s. I was an undegrad.

Ovo je bilo u ranim 90-ima. Bio sam na preddiplomskom.

She was a grad student in the library sciences department.

Ona je bila diplomski student na odjelu za knjižničke znanosti.

Not the kind of librarian that takes her glasses off,

Ne knjižničarka koja skine naočale,

lets her hair down, suddenly she's smoking hot.

raspusti kosu i iznenada je strašno zgodna.

She was already smoking hot,

Već je bila strašno zgodna,

she was super dorky,

i bila je super šmokljasta,

and we had a December-May romance,

i imali smo Prosinac-Svibanj romansu,

meaning we started dating in December,

što znači da smo počeli hodati u prosincu,

and by May, she had graduated

i do svibnja, ona je diplomirala

and became my one that got away.

i postala ona koja je pobjegla.

But her mix tape did not get away.

Ali njena miks kazeta nije pobjegla.

I have kept this mix tape in a box

Držao sam ovu kazetu u kutiji

with notes and postcards, not just from L.D.,

s bilješkama i razglednicama, ne samo L.D.-ino,

from my life, but for decades.

iz mog života, ali desetljećima,

It's the kind of box where,

to je ona vrsta kutije koju,

if I have a girlfriend, I tend to hide it from her,

ako imam djevojku, sakrivam od nje,

and if I had a wife, I'm sure I would share it with her,

i da imam ženu, siguran sam da bih ju podijelio s njom.,

but the story — (Laughter) — with this mix tape

ali priča — (Smijeh) — s ovom kazetom

is there are seven songs per side,

je da ima po sedam pjesama po strani,

but no song titles.

ali nema naslova pjesama.

Instead, L.D. has used the U.S. Library of Congress

Umjesto toga L.D. je koristila knjižničku

classification system, including page numbers,

klasifikaciju, uključujući brojeve stranica,

to leave me clues.

kako bi mi ostavila tragove.

When I got this mix tape,

Kada sam dobio ovu kazetu,

I put it in my cassette player,

stavio sam je u svoj kazetofon,

I took it to the campus library, her library,

odnio sam je u knjižnicu na kampusu, njenu knjižnicu.

I found 14 books on the shelves.

Našao sam 14 knjiga na policama.

I remember bringing them all

Sjećam se da sam ih odnio sve

to my favorite corner table,

na moj najdraži stol u kutu,

and I read poems paired to songs

i čitao sam stihove uparene s pjesmama

like food to wine,

kao hranu s vinom,

paired, I can tell you,

uparene, mogu vam reći

like saddle shoes

kao svečane cipele

to a cobalt blue vintage cotton dress.

sa kobaltno plavom starinskom pamučnom haljinom.

I did this again last October.

Učinio sam to ponovno, prošlog listopada.

I'm sitting there, I got new earbuds,

Sjedim ondje, imam nove slušalice,

old Walkman, I realize this is just the kind

stari Walkman, i shvaćam da je ovo ta vrsta

of extravagance I used to take for granted

ekstravagancije koju sam uzimao zdravo za gotovo

even when I was extravagant.

čak i kad sam bio ekstravagantan.

And then I thought, "Good for him."

I ponda sam pomislio, "Dobro za njega".
