Diana Nyad: Extreme swimming with the world's most dangerous jellyfish

Prevoditelj: Jelena Horvat Recezent: Katarina Smetko

Yeah, so a couple of years ago I was turning 60,

Da, prije par godina navršila sam 60 godina,

and I don't like being 60.

i ne volim imati 60 godina.

(Laughter)

(smijeh)

And I started grappling

Počela sam se boriti

with this existential angst

s egzistencijalnom tjeskobom

of what little I had done with my life.

kako sam malo učinila sa svojim životom.

It wasn't the resume

Nije to bio rezime

of breaking this record here,

obaranja ovog rekorda,

it was more like, who had I become?

bilo je to više u stilu, tko sam postala?

How had I spent my valuable time?

Kako sam provela svoje dragocjeno vrijeme?

How could this have gone by

Kako je sve to prošlo

like lightning?

kao munja?

And I couldn't forgive myself

I nisam si mogla oprostiti

for the countless, countless hours

nebrojene, nebrojene sate

I had lost

koje sam izgubila

in negative thought --

razmišljajući negativno --

all the time I had spent beating myself up

sve to vrijeme koje sam potrošila mučeći se

for losing my marriage

zbog gubitka braka

and not stopping the sexual abuse when I was a kid

i što nisam zaustavila seksualno zlostavljanje kad sam bila dijete,

and career moves

i zbog profesionalnih poteza,

and this and this and this.

i ovog, i onog.

Just why, why didn't I do it better? Why? Why? Why?

Zašto nisam bolje postupila? Zašto? Zašto? Zašto?

And then my mother died at 82.

A onda je u 82. godini umrla moja majka.

And so I starting thinking,

I tako sam počela razmišljati,

not only am I not happy with the past,

ne samo da nisam sretna s prošlošću,

now I'm getting choked with,

sada me guši i:

"I've only got 22 years left."

"Ostale su mi samo još 22 godine."

What am I going to do with this short amount of time

Što ću učiniti s tako malo vremena

that's just fleeting?

koje samo prolazi?

And I'm not in the present whatsoever.

I uopće nisam u sadašnjem trenutku.

And I decided the remedy to all this malaise

I odlučila sam da će lijek za sve te slabosti

was going to be

biti

for me to chase

da ulovim

an elevated dream,

jedan uzvišen san,

an extreme dream,

ekstreman san,

something that would require

nešto što će zahtijevati

utter conviction

snažno uvjerenje

and unwavering passion,

i nepokolebljivu strast,

something that would make me

nešto što će me prisiliti

be my best self

da budem najbolja ja

in every aspect of my life,

u svakom aspektu života,

every minute of every day,

svake minute svakog dana,

because the dream was so big

jer san je bio tako velik

that I couldn't get there

da ga ne bih bila mogla ostvariti

without that kind of behavior and that kind of conviction.

da se nisam tako ponašala i da mu nisam bila tako predana.

And I decided,

Odlučila sam.

it was an old dream that was lingering,

Bio je to jedan stari san koji sam dugo imala,

that was from so many years ago,

već toliko godina,

three decades ago --

tri desetljeća --

the only sort of world class swim

jedina vrsta plivanja svjetske klase

I had tried and failed at back in my 20s --

u kojoj sam se okušala i nisam uspjela u svojim 20-ima --

was going from Cuba to Florida.

plivanje od Kube do Floride.

It was deep in my imagination.

Bilo je to duboko u mojoj mašti.

No one's ever done it without a shark cage.

Nitko to još nikad nije učinio bez kaveza za zaštitu od morskih pasa.

It's daunting.

Zastrašujuće je.

It's more than a hundred miles across a difficult passage of ocean.

Više od 160 km preko opasnog oceanskog tjesnaca.

It's probably, at my speed, at my age --

Mojom brzinom i u mojoj dobi--

for anybody's speed at anybody's age --

zapravo bilo čijom brzinom i u bilo kojoj dobi --

going to take 60, maybe 70, hours

za to bi vjerojatno trebalo 60, možda 70 sati

of continuous swimming,

neprestanog plivanja,

never getting out on the boat.

bez izlazaka na brod.

And I started to train.

I počela sam trenirati.

I hadn't swum for 31 years, not a stroke.

Nisam plivala 31 godinu, niti jedan zamah.

And I had kept in good shape, but swimming's a whole different animal.

Održavala sam kondiciju, ali plivanje je nešto potpuno drugačije.

As a matter of fact,

Zapravo,

this picture is supposed to be me during training.

ovo na fotografiji trebala bih biti ja za vrijeme treninga.

It's a smiling face.

Smijem se.

And when you're training for this sport, you are not smiling.

Ali kad trenirate ovaj sport, ne smijete se.

(Laughter)

(smijeh)

It's an arduous, difficult sport,

To je naporan, težak sport

and I don't remember smiling

i ne sjećam se da sam se ikad smijala

at any time during this sport.

za vrijeme treninga.

As I said, I respect other sports,

Kao što rekoh, poštujem druge sportove,

and I compare this sport sometimes

a ponekad i uspoređujem ovaj sport

to cycling and to mountain climbing

s biciklizmom ili alpinizmom

and other of the expedition type events,

i s drugim događajima ekspedicijskog tipa,

but this is a sensory deprivation,

ali ovdje postoji senzorna deprivacija,

a physical duress.

fizički pritisak.

And when I started in

Kad sam počela

with the eight hours and the 10 hours and the 12 hours

s osmosatnim treninzima, i sa 10-satnim, 12-satnim

and the 14 hours and the 15 hours and the 24-hour swims,

i 14-satnim, i 15-satnim, i 24-satnim treninzima plivanja,

I knew I had it,

znala sam da mogu,

because I was making it through these.

jer sam sve to mogla.

And when I said I'm going to go out and do a 15-hour swim,

kad sam rekla da ću 15 sati plivati,

and we're coming into the dock after a long day

a vraćali smo se u pristanište nakon dugog dana

and it's now night,

i već je noć,

and we come in and it's 14 hours and 58 minutes

vraćamo se nakon 14 sati i 58 minuta

and I can touch the dock and we're done,

i već mogu dodirnuti dȍk i gotovi smo,

the trainer says, "That's great.

trener kaže: "To je izvrsno.

It's 14 hours 58 minutes. Who cares the last two minutes?"

14 sati i 58 minuta. Koga briga za posljednje dvije minute?"

I say, "No, it's got to be 15 hours,"

Rekla sam: "Ne, mora biti 15 sati."

and I swim another minute out and another minute back

i otplivala sam još jednu minutu dalje i drugu minutu nazad

to make the 15 hours.

da bude 15 sati.

And I put together an expedition.

Sastavila sam ekspediciju.

It's not that I didn't have help,

Nije da nisam imala pomoć,

but honestly, I sort of led, I was the team leader.

ali iskreno, ja sam vodila, bila sam vođa tima.

And to get the government permissions,

Da biste dobili dopuštenje vlade,

you read in the paper,

čitate u novinama,

you think it's easy to get into Cuba everyday?

mislite li da je lako ući u Kubu?

Try going in with an armada like we had

Pokušajte ući s flotom kao što je bila naša,

of 50 people and five boats

50 ljudi i pet brodova,

and CNN's crew, etc.

ekipa CNN-a itd.

The navigation is difficult.

Navigacija je teška.

There's a big river called the Gulf Stream

Tu je velika rijeka koja se zove Golfska struja

that runs across

koja teče poprijeko

and it's not going in the direction you are.

i ne ide u vašem smjeru.

It's going to the east and you'd like to go north.

Ide na istok, a vi biste htjeli na sjever.

It's tricky.

Nezgodno je to.

And there's dehydration.

A tu je i dehidracija.

And there's hypothermia.

I pothlađenost.

And there are sharks.

I morski psi.

And there are all kinds of problems.

I svi mogući problemi.

And I gathered together, honestly,

Okupila sam, iskreno,

the world's leading experts in every possible way.

vodeće svjetske stručnjake za sva moguća područja.

And a month ago,

Prije mjesec dana,

the 23rd of September,

23. rujna

I stood on that shore

stajala sam na toj obali

and I looked across

i gledala preko

to that long, long faraway horizon

prema tom dalekom, dalekom horizontu

and I asked myself,

i zapitala sam se,

do you have it?

možeš li ti to?

Are your shoulders ready?

Jesu li tvoja ramena spremna?

And they were. They were prepared.

Bila su. Bila su pripremljena.

No stone left unturned.

Sve je bio spremno.

Was the mind ready?

Je li um bio spreman?

You know, you're swimming with the fogged goggles,

Znate, plivate sa zamagljenim naočalama,

you're swimming at 60 strokes a minute,

plivate 60 zamaha u minuti,

so you're never really focused on anything, you don't see well.

tako da nikada niste dobro fokusirani ni na što, ne vidite dobro.

You've got tight bathing caps over your ears

Preko ušiju imate tijesnu kapu za plivanje

trying to keep the heat of the head,

da čuva toplinu glave,

because it's where the hypothermia starts,

jer tu počinje pothlađenost,

and so you don't hear very well.

tako da ne čujete baš dobro.

You're really left alone with your own thoughts.

Zaista ste sami sa svojim mislima.

And I had all kinds of counting systems ready there

Imala sam pripravljeno mnogo vrsta brojevnih sustava

in English, followed by German,

na engleskom, pa na njemačkom,

followed by Spanish, followed by French.

pa na španjolskom, i na francuskom.

You save the French for last.

Francuski sam sačuvala za kraj.

And I had songs, I had a playlist in my head --

Imala sam i pjesme, listu pjesama u glavi --

not through headphones, in my own head --

ne preko slušalica nego u svojoj glavi --

of 65 songs.

65 pjesama.

And I couldn't wait to get into the dark in the middle of the night,

Jedva sam čekala da se spusti mrak usred noći

because that's when Neil Young comes out.

jer tada izlazi Neil Young.

(Laughter)

(smijeh)

And it's odd, isn't it?

Čudno, zar ne?

You'd think you'd be singing Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah"

Pomislili biste da ćete pjevati "Hallelujah" Leonarda Cohena

out in the majesty of the ocean,

u veličanstvenosti oceana,

not songs about heroin addiction in New York City.

a ne pjesme o ovisnosti o heroinu u New Yorku.

But no, for some reason

Ali ne, iz nekog razloga

I couldn't wait to get into the dark of the night

jedva sam dočekala da se spusti mrak

and be singing,

i da počnem pjevati:

♫ "A heard you knocking at my cellar door ♫

"Čuo sam te kako kucaš po mojim podrumskim vratima,

♫ I love you baby and I want some more ♫

volim te, dušo, i želim još malo,

♫ Ooh, ooh, the damage done" ♫

ooh, ooh, šteta je učinjena"

(Applause)

(pljesak)

The night before I started,

Noć prije nego što sam krenula

I finished Stephen Hawking's "The Grand Design."

pročitala sam knjigu Stephena Hawkingsa "The Grand Design".

And I couldn't wait

I jedva sam čekala

to trip the mind fantastic.

da me mozak odvede na fantastično putovanje.

About the 50th hour,

Oko pedesetog sata

I was going to start thinking about the edge of the universe.

počet ću razmišljati o rubu univerzuma.

Is there an edge?

Postoji li rub?

Is this an envelope we're living inside of,

Živimo li unutar ovojnice

or no, does it go onto infinity in both time and space?

ili ne, ide li u beskraj vremena i prostora?

And there's nothing like swimming for 50 hours in the ocean

Nema ničeg boljeg od plivanja 50 sati u oceanu

that gets you thinking about things like this.

ako želite razmišljati o takvim stvarima.

I couldn't wait to prove the athlete I am,

Nisam mogla dočekati da dokažem kakva sam sportašica,

that nobody else in the world can do this swim.

i da nitko drugi na svijetu ovo ne može preplivati.

And I knew I could do it.

Znala sam da mogu.

And when I jumped into that water,

Kad sam skočila u vodu,

I yelled in my mother's French, "Courage!"

uzviknula sam na francuskom moje majke: "Hrabro!"

And I started swimming,

I počela sam plivati,

and, oh my God, it was glassy.

i, o Bože moj, more je bilo stakleno.

And we knew it, all 50 people on the boat,

Svi smo znali, svih 50 ljudi na brodu,

we all knew this was it,

svi smo znali da je

this was our time.

ovo naš trenutak.

And I reminded myself a couple hours in,

Nakon nekoliko sam se sati podsjetila,

you know, the sport is sort of a microcosm of life itself.

znate, sport je na neki način mikrokozmos samog života.

First of all, you're going to hit obstacles.

Kao prvo, morat ćete se suočiti s preprekama.

And even though you're feeling great at any one moment,

Iako se izvrsno osjećate u bilo kojem trenutku,

don't take it for granted, be ready,

nemojte to uzeti zdravo za gotovo, budite spremni,

because there's going to be pain, there's going to be suffering.

jer bit će boli, bit će patnje,

It's not going to feel this good all the way across.

nećete se osjećati ovako dobro cijelo vrijeme.

And I was thinking of the hypothermia

Mislila sam i na pothlađenost

and maybe some shoulder pain

i možda na bolove u ramenima

and all the other things --

i na sve druge stvari --

the vomiting that comes from being in the saltwater.

povraćanje koje je posljedica boravka u slanoj vodi.

You're immersed in the liquid.

Uronjeni ste u tekućinu.

Your body doesn't like the saltwater.

A tijelo ne voli slanu vodu.

After a couple of days, three days,

Nakon nekoliko dana, nakon tri dana,

you tend to rebel

počinjete se buniti

in a lot of physical ways.

na razne fizičke načine.

But no, two hours in,

Ali ne, nakon dva sata,

wham! Never in my life ...

bum! Nikad u životu...

I knew there were Portuguese men o' war,

znala sam da u vodi ima portugalskih lađica,

all kinds of moon jellies, all kinds of things,

i raznih uhatih klobuka, i raznih drugih stvari,

but the box jellyfish from the southern oceans

ali morske ose iz južnih oceana

is not supposed to be in these waters.

ne bi trebale biti u ovim vodama.

And I was on fire --

Gorjela sam --

excruciating, excruciating pain.

strašna, strašna bol.

I don't know if you can still see

Ne znam možete li još vidjeti

the red line here and up the arm.

crvenu crtu ovdje na ruci.

Evidently, a piece this big of tentacle

Očigledno komad ticala ove veličine

has a hundred-thousand little barbs on it

ima sto tisuća žarnih stanica

and each barb is not just stinging your skin,

i svaka žarna stanica ne samo da ubode,

it's sending a venom.

nego šalje i otrov.

The most venomous animal that lives in the ocean

Najotrovnija životinja u oceanu

is the box jellyfish.

upravo je morska osa.

And every one of those barbs

Svaka žarna stanica

is sending that venom into this central nervous system.

šalje otrov u središnji živčani sustav.

So first I feel like boiling hot oil,

Najprije sam se osjećala kao vrelo ulje,

I've been dipped in.

kao da su me umočili u nj.

And I'm yelling out, "Fire! Fire! Fire! Fire!

Vikala sam: "Vatra! Vatra! Vatra!

Help me! Somebody help me!"

Upomoć! Neka mi netko pomogne!"

And the next thing is paralysis.

Nakon toga dolazi paraliza.

I feel it in the back and then I feel it in the chest up here,

Osjećala sam je u leđima, a onda i u prsima ovdje gore,

and I can't breathe.

i nisam mogla disati.

And now I'm not swimming with a nice long stroke,

Sada više nisam plivala lijepim dugim zamasima,

I'm sort of crabbing it this way.

nego sam se migoljila ovako.

Then come convulsions.

Tada su došli grčevi.

A young man on our boat is an EMT. He dives in to try to help me.

Jedan mladić na našem brodu liječnik je hitne službe. Skočio je u vodu da mi pomogne.

He's stung.

I njega ubada.

They drag him out on the boat,

Izvukli su ga na brod,

and he's -- evidently, I didn't see any of this -- but lying on the boat

i on je -- naravno, nisam to vidjela -- ležao na brodu

and giving himself epinephrine shots

i davao si je injekcije epinefrina

and crying out.

i vikao.

He's 29 years old,

29 mu je godina,

very well-built, lean, he's six-foot, five,

dobro građen, vitak, dvometraš,

weighs 265 lbs.,

težak 120 kg

and he is down.

i slomljen je.

And he is crying and he's yelling to my trainer

Plače i viče mom treneru

who's trying to help me.

koji se trudi pomoći meni.

And he's saying, "Bonnie, I think I'm going to die.

I kaže: "Bonnie, mislim da ću umrijeti.

My breath is down to three breaths a minute.

Moje je disanje na svega tri udisaja u minuti.

I need help, and I can't help Diana."

Trebam pomoć i ne mogu pomoći Diani."

So that was at eight o'clock at night.

To je bilo u osam sati navečer.

The doctor, medical team from University of Miami

Liječnik i medicinska ekipa Sveučilišta u Miamiju

arrived at five in the morning.

stigli su u pet sati ujutro.

So I swam through the night,

Plivala sam cijelu noć

and at dawn they got there and they started with prednisone shots.

i u zoru su stigli i dali mi injekcije prednizona.

I didn't get out,

Nisam izišla iz vode,

but was in the water taking prednisone shots, taking Xanax,

nego bila u vodi i tu su mi dali injekcije prednizona, pa Xanax,

oxygen to the face.

i kisik na lice.

It was like an ICU unit

Izgledala sam kao odjel intenzivne njege

in the water.

u vodi.

(Laughter)

(smijeh)

And I guess the story is

Stvar je u tome

that even Navy SEALS who are stung by the box jelly,

da su čak i specijalci američke mornarice koje ubode morska osa

they're done.

gotovi.

They either die or they quickly get to a hospital.

Umru ili ih hitno otpreme u bolnicu.

And I swam through the night and I swam through the next day.

A ja sam plivala cijelu noć i cijeli sljedeći dan.

And the next night at dusk,

Sljedeće večeri u sumrak

again, wham!

opet, bum!

The box jelly again --

Još jedna morska osa --

all across the neck, all across here.

po cijelom vratu, posvuda ovdje.

And this time,

Ovaj put,

I don't like it, I didn't want to give into it,

nije mi se to svidjelo, nisam se htjela predati,

but there's a difference between a non-stop swim

ali postoji razlika između neprestanog plivanja

and a staged swim.

i plivanja u etapama.

And I gave in

Popustila sam

to the staged swim.

i počela plivati u etapama.

And they got me out and they started again

Izvukli su me iz vode i opet počeli

with the epinephrine and the prednisone

s epinefrinom i prednizonom

and with the oxygen and with everything they had on board.

i kisikom, i sa svime što im je bilo pri ruci.

And I got back in.

Vratila sam se u vodu.

And I swam through that night and into the next day.

Plivala sam cijelu noć i sljedeći dan.

And at 41 hours,

Nakon 41 sata

this body couldn't make it.

ovo tijelo više nije moglo.

The devastation of those stings

Svi ti ubodi

had taken the respiratory system down

toliko su naškodili dišnom sustavu

so that I couldn't make the progress I wanted.

da nisam mogla napredovati kao sam htjela.

And the dream was crushed.

Moji snovi bili su uništeni.

And how odd

Kako je čudna

is this intelligent person who put this together

ta inteligentna osoba koja je sve to sastavila

and got all these world experts together.

i združila sve te svjetske stručnjake.

And I knew about the jellyfish,

Znala sam za meduze,

but I was sort of cavalier.

ali mislila sam da sam nekakav vitez.

A lot of athletes have this, you know,

Mnogo sportaša ima taj osjećaj, znate,

sort of invincibility.

osjećaj neke vrste nepobjedivosti.

They should worry about me. I don't worry about them.

Neka se oni brinu zbog mene. Ja se ne brinem zbog njih.

I'll just swim right through them.

Samo ću preplivati kroz njih.

We've got benadryl on board. If I get stung, I'll just grin and bear it.

Na brodu imamo benadryl. Ako me ubode, primit ću to s osmijehom.

Well there was no grin and bearing this.

E pa, ovo se nije moglo primiti s osmijehom.

As a matter of fact, the best advice I got

Zapravo, najbolji savjet koji sam dobila

was from an elementary school class

bio je od jednog osnovnoškolskog razreda

in the Caribbean.

na Karibima.

And I was telling these kids, 120 of them --

Govorila sam toj djeci,120 njih --

they were all in the school on the gymnasium floor --

svi su sjedili na podu školske dvorane --

and I was telling them about the jellyfish

govorila sam im o meduzama

and how they're gelatinous

i o tome kako su želatinaste

and you can't see them at night especially.

i kako ih se ne može vidjeti, pogotovo noću.

And they have these

Imaju i ta

long 30 to 40 to 50-ft. tentacles.

10 do 15 metara duga ticala.

And they do this wrapping.

I one se omotaju.

And they can send the poison into the system.

I mogu poslati otrov u tijelo.

And a little kid from the back was like this.

A jedan mališan straga javljao se ovako.

And I said, "What's your name?" "Henry."

I rekoh: "Kako se zoveš?" "Henry."

"Henry, what's your question?"

"Henry, koje je tvoje pitanje?"

He said, "Well, I didn't have a question so much

Rekao je: "Pa, nemam baš pitanje,

as I had a suggestion."

nego prijedlog."

He said, "You know those guys

Rekao je: "Znate one tipove

who really believe in what they believe in

koji stvarno vjeruju u ono u što vjeruju

and so they wear bombs?"

i zato nose bombe?"

And I said, "Well it's odd that you've learned of this

Rekoh: " Pa, malo je čudno da si o tome učio

as a noble kind of pursuit, but yeah, I know those guys."

kao o plemenitoj težnji, ali da, znam te tipove."

He said, "That's what you need.

I kaže on: "To tebi treba.

You need like a school of fish

Treba ti nekakvo jato riba

that would swim in front of you like this."

koje bi ovako plivalo pred tobom."

(Laughter)

(smijeh)

"And when the jellyfish come and they wrap their tentacles around the fish,

"I onda kad meduze dođu i omotaju svoja ticala oko ribe,

they're going to be busy with them,

bit će zauzete njima

and you'll just scoot around."

i ti ćeš samo jurnuti uz njih."

I said, "Oh, it's like a suicide army."

Rekoh: "Aha, to je kao vojska samoubojica."

He said, "That's what I'm talking about. That's what you need."

I kaže on: "Pa o tome i govorim. To ti treba."

And little did I know,

Nisam pojma imala

that you should listen to eight year-olds.

da treba slušati osmogodišnjake.

And so I started that swim

Tako sam započela to plivanje

in a bathing suit like normal,

u kupaćem kostimu kao i inače,

and, no joke, this is it; it came from the shark divers.

i, bez šale, ovo je to, dobila sam to od ronioca s morskim psima.

I finished the swim like this.

Završila sam plivanje ovako.

I was swimming with this thing on.

Plivala sam s ovime na glavi.

That's how scared of the jellyfish I was.

Toliko sam se bojala meduza.

So now what do I do?

I što ću sad?

I wouldn't mind

Ne bih imala ništa protiv

if every one of you came up on this stage tonight

kad bi se vi svi popeli na ovu pozornicu večeras

and told us how you've gotten over the big disappointments of your lives.

i ispričali nam kako ste preboljeli velika razočaranja u životu.

Because we've all had them, haven't we?

Jer svi smo ih doživjeli, zar ne?

We've all had a heartache.

Svi smo imali slomljeno srce.

And so my journey now

I tako se moje putovanje sada

is to find some sort of grace

sastoji u traženju neke vrste zahvalnosti

in the face of this defeat.

unatoč ovom porazu.

And I can look at the journey,

Mogu sagledati cijelo putovanje,

not just the destination.

ne samo odredište.

I can feel proud. I can stand here in front of you tonight

Mogu se osjećati ponosno. I mogu stajati pred vama večeras

and say I was courageous.

i reći da sam bila hrabra.

Yeah.

Da.

(Applause)

(pljesak)

Thank you.

Hvala vam.

And with all sincerity, I can say,

Potpuno iskreno mogu reći

I am glad I lived those two years of my life that way,

da mi je drago da sam te dvije godine života tako proživjela

because my goal to not suffer regrets anymore,

jer moj je cilj da više ni za čim ne žalim

I got there with that goal.

postignut.

When you live that way, when you live with that kind of passion,

Kad tako živite, kad živite s takvom strasti,

there's no time, there's no time for regrets,

nema vremena, nema vremena za žaljenje,

you're just moving forward.

samo idete naprijed.

And I want to live every day of the rest of my life that way,

Želim svaki dan do kraja života živjeti na taj način,

swim or no swim.

plivala ili ne.

But the difference

Ali razlika

in accepting this particular defeat

u prihvaćanju ovoga konkretnog poraza

is that sometimes,

jest da ponekad,

if cancer has won,

ako je rak pobijedio,

if there's death and we have no choice,

ako dođe smrt i nemamo izbora,

then grace and acceptance

tada su zahvalnost i prihvaćanje

are necessary.

nužni.

But that ocean's still there.

Ali taj ocean još uvijek postoji.

This hope is still alive.

Ova nada je još živa.

And I don't want to be the crazy woman

Ne želim biti luda žena

who does it for years and years and years,

koja to čini godinama i godinama,

and tries and fails and tries and fails and tries and fails,

i pokušava, i ne uspijeva, pokušava, i ne uspijeva, pokušava, i ne uspijeva,

but I can swim from Cuba to Florida,

ali ja mogu preplivati od Kube do Floride,

and I will swim from Cuba to Florida.

i ja ću otplivati od Kube do Floride.

Thank you.

Hvala vam.

Thank you.

Hvala vam.

(Applause)

(pljesak)

Thank you.

Hvala vam.

(Applause)

(pljesak)

And so, what after that?

Što nakon toga?

Are you going to swim the Atlantic?

Hoćeš li preplivati Atlantik?

No, that's the last swim.

Ne, ovo je posljednje.

It's the only swim I'm interested in.

To je jedina plivačka dionica koja me zanima.

But I'm ready.

Ali spremna sam.

And by the way, a reporter called me the other day

Inače, jedan me novinar nazvao neki dan

and he said he looked on Wikipedia

i rekao je da je pogledao na Wikipediji

and he said he saw my birthday was August 22nd 1949,

i rekao da je vidio da sam se rodila 22. 8. 1949.

and for some odd reason in Wikipedia,

i da zbog nekog čudnog razloga na Wikipediji

they had my death date too.

imaju i datum moje smrti.

(Laughter)

(smijeh)

He said, "Did you know you're going to die the same place you were born, New York City,

Rekao je: "Jesi li znala da ćeš umrijeti na istom mjestu gdje si se rodila, u New Yorku,

and it's going to be in January of '35?"

i bit će to biti u siječnju 2035.?"

I said, "Nope. I didn't know."

Rekoh: "Ne, nisam znala."

And now I'm going to live to 85.

Sad ću živjeti do 85. godine.

I have three more years than I thought.

Imam tri godine više nego što sam mislila.

And so I ask myself,

I pitam se,

I'm starting to ask myself now,

sada se počinjem pitati,

even before this extreme dream

čak i prije nego što ostvarim

gets achieved for me,

ovaj ekstreman san,

I'm asking myself,

pitam se,

and maybe I can ask you tonight too,

i možda bih to mogla upitati i vas večeras,

to paraphrase the poet

da parafraziram pjesnikinju

Mary Oliver,

Mary Oliver,

she says, "So what is it,

koja kaže: "Pa što je to,

what is it you're doing,

što to točno radiš

with this one wild and precious life of yours?"

s tim svojim divljim i dragocjenim životom?"

Thank you very much.

Najljepša vam hvala.

(Applause)

(pljesak)

Thank you. Thank you.

Hvala vam. Hvala.

Thank you. Thank you.

Hvala. Hvala.

(Applause)

(pljesak)

Live it large. Live it large.

Živite punim plućima. Živite punim plućima.
