Hvala Vam.

(Pljesak)

Thank you very much.

Puno Vam hvala.

That was whistling.

To je bilo zviždanje.

I'm trying to do this in English.

Pokušavam to raditi na engleskom.

What is a chubby, curly-haired guy from Holland --

Što je debeljuškast, momak kovrčave kose iz Nizozemske --

zašto zviždi?

why is he whistling?

Pa zapravo, zviždim od svoje četvrte godine -- oko četvrte godine.

Well actually, I've been whistling since the age of four, about four.

My dad was always whistling around the house,

Moj otac je uvijek zviždao po kući,

and I just thought that's part of communication in my family.

a ja sam mislio kako je to dio komunikacije u mojoj obitelji.

So I whistled along with him.

Stoga sam zviždao s njim.

And actually, until I was 34,

I sve do svoje 34. godine,

I always annoyed and irritated people with whistling,

uvijek sam smetao i iritirao ljude svojim zviždanjem.

because, to be honest,

Jer, da budem iskren,

my whistling is a kind of deviant behavior.

moje zviždanje je vrsta izopaćenog ponašanja.

I whistled alone, I whistled in the classroom,

Zviždao sam sam, zviždao sam u učionici,

I whistled on bike, I whistled everywhere.

zviždao sam na svom biciklu, zviždao sam svuda.

And I also whistled at a Christmas Eve party

I zviždao sam na Božićnoj proslavi

with my family-in-law.

sa svojom rodbinom.

And they had some, in my opinion, terrible Christmas music.

A oni su imali, po mom mišljenju,

groznu Božićnu glazbu.

And when I hear music that I don't like, I try to make it better.

A kada čujem glazbu koja mi se ne sviđa,

pokušavam je poboljšati.

(Laughter)

So when "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" -- you know it?

Dakle "Rudolph sob crvenog nosa" -- znate je?

(Zviždanje)

(Whistling)

Ali isto tako može zvučati ovako.

But it can also sound like this.

(Whistling)

(Zviždanje)

But during a Christmas party --

Ali tijekom Božićne proslave --

zapravo tijekom večere -- bilo je veoma iritirajuće.

at dinner, actually -- it's very annoying.

Stoga me moja šurjakinja

So my sister-in-law asked me a few times, "Please stop whistling."

zamolila nekoliko puta, "Molim te, prestani zviždati."

And I just couldn't.

I jednostavno nisam mogao.

And at one point --

I u jednom trenutku -- popio sam nešto vina, moram priznati --

and I had some wine, I have to admit that --

at one point I said, "If there was a contest, I would join."

u jednom trenutku sam rekao, "Kada bi postojalo natjecanje, prijavio bih se."

And two weeks later,

I dva tjedna kasnije

I received a text message: "You're going to America."

primio sam tekstualnu poruku: "Ideš u Ameriku."

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

So, OK, I'm going to America.

Dakle, u redu, idem u Ameriku.

Volio bih, ali zašto?

I would love to, but why?

So I immediately called her up, of course.

Stoga sam je odmah nazvao, naravno.

She googled, and she found this World Whistling Championship

Ona je pretraživala Google

i našla je to svjetsko natjecanje u zviždanju

in America, of course.

u Americi, naravno.

(Laughter)

She didn't expect me to go there.

Nije očekivala da ću otići tamo.

And I would have lost my face.

A ja bih izgubio svoj obraz.

I don't know if that's correct English.

Ne znam je li to pravilan engleski.

But the Dutch people here will understand what I mean.

Ali Nizozemci ovdje će shvatiti što mislim.

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

I lost my face.

Izgubio sam obraz.

(Applause)

(Pljesak)

And she thought, "He will never go there."

I ona je pomislila, "Nikada neće otići tamo."

But actually, I did.

Ali zapravo jesam.

So I went to Louisburg, North Carolina, southeast of the United States,

Dakle, otišao sam u Louisburg, Sjeverna Karolina,

jugoistok Sjedinjenih Država,

and I entered the world of whistling.

i zakoračio sam u svijet zviždanja.

And I also entered the World Championship,

I ujedno sam ušao u svjetsko prvenstvo,

and I won there, in 2004.

i pobijedio sam tamo 2004. godine.

(Applause)

(Pljesak)

To je bilo --

That was great fun, of course.

To je bilo jako zabavno, naravno.

And to defend my title -- like judokas do and sportsmen --

A da bih obranio svoju titulu --

kao, znate, momci to rade i sportaši --

pomislio sam, hajde da se vratim i 2005. godine,

I thought, well let's go back in 2005 --

i ponovno sam pobijedio.

and I won again.

(Laughter)

Zatim nisam mogao sudjelovati nekoliko godina.

Then I couldn't participate for a few years.

I 2008. godine ponovno sam ušao

And in 2008, I entered again in Japan, Tokyo, and I won again.

u Japanu, Tokyo, i ponovno sam pobijedio.

So what happened now

Ono što se događa sada

is I'm standing here in Rotterdam, in the beautiful city, on a big stage,

jest da stojim ovdje u Rotterdamu, u prekrasnom gradu, na velikoj pozornici,

i pričam o zviždanju.

and I'm talking about whistling.

I zapravo , trenutno, zarađujem zviždeći.

And actually, I earn my money whistling, at the moment.

So I quit my day job as a nurse.

Ostavio sam svoj dnevni posao kao sestra.

(Applause)

(Pljesak)

And I try to live my dream --

I pokušavam živjeti svoj san --

well, actually, it was never my dream, but it sounds so good.

zapravo, to nikad nije bio moj san, ali zvuči tako dobro.

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

OK, I'm not the only one whistling here.

U redu, nisam ovdje jedini koji zviždi.

You say, "Huh, what do you mean?"

Vi ćete reći, "Ha, kako to misliš?"

Well actually, you are going to whistle along.

Pa zapravo, Vi ćete zviždati sa mnom.

And then always the same thing happens:

I tada se uvijek dogodi ista stvar:

people are watching each other and think, "Oh, my God.

ljudi gledaju jedni druge i misle, "O, moj Bože.

Why? Can I go away?"

Zašto? Mogu li otići?

Ne, ne možete.

No, you can't.

(Laughter)

Zapravo je vrlo jednostavno.

Actually, it's very simple.

The track that I will whistle is called "Fête de la Belle."

Skladba koju ću zviždati

se zove "Fete de la Belle."

It's about 80 minutes long.

Traje otprilike 80 minuta.

(Laughter)

No, no, no. It's four minutes long.

Ne, ne, ne. Traje četiri minute.

And I want to first rehearse with you your whistling.

I želim prvo s vama vježbati vaše zviždanje.

Yes, so I whistle the tone.

Dakle, ja zazviždim jedan ton.

(Whistling)

(Zviždanje)

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

Sorry, I forgot one thing --

Oprostite. Zaboravio sam jednu stvar.

you whistle the same tone as me.

Vi zazviždite isti ton kao i ja.

(Smijeh)

(Laughter)

I heard a wide variety of tones.

Čuo sam široku paletu tonova.

(Zviždanje)

(Geert Chatrou and audience whistling)

(Whistling ends)

This is very promising.

Ovo je jako obećavajuće.

(Laughter)

Ovo je jako obećavajuće.

This is very promising.

I'll ask the technicians to start the music.

Zamolit ću tehničare da puste glazbu.

And if it's started, I just point where you whistle along,

I kada počne, ja samo pokažem gdje da zviždite sa mnom,

and we will see what happens.

i vidjet ćemo što će se dogoditi.

(Laughter)

Oh, I'm so sorry, technicians.

O, hah.

Ispričavam se, tehničari.

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

Toliko sam se naviknuo na to.

I'm so used to that.

(Laughter)

Ja ću je pustiti.

I start it myself.

(Laughter)

OK, here it is.

U redu, evo je.

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

(Glazba)

(Music)

(Whistling)

(Zviždanje)

(Whistling ends)

(Music)

U redu.

OK.

(Whistling)

(Zviždanje)

Lagano je, zar ne?

It's easy, isn't it?

(Whistling)

(Zviždanje)

Now comes the solo, I propose I do that myself, OK?

Sada dolazi solo. Predlažem da ja to izvedem.

(Music)

(Whistling)

(Zviždanje)

(Applause)
