Kaki King rocks out to "Playing with Pink Noise"

Translator: Raimonds Jaks Reviewer: Kristaps Kadiķis

Es bērnībā domāju par savu vietu Visumā

I was thinking about my place in the universe,

un pirmo domu par to,

and about my first thought about what infinity might mean,

ko varētu nozīmēt bezgalība.

when I was a child.

Un es domāju, ka, ja laiks varētu sniegties

And I thought that if time could reach

bezgalīgi tālu pagātnē un nākotnē,

forwards and backwards infinitely,

vai tas nenozīmētu,

doesn't that mean that

ka katrs laika punkts ir bezgalīgi mazs

every point in time is really infinitely small,

un tādējādi savā ziņā nenozīmīgs.

and therefore somewhat meaningless.

Tāpēc mēs neeksistējam Visumā,

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

vismaz ne laika nozīmē.

as far as on a time line.

Bet neeksistē arī nekas cits.

But nothing else does either.

Tāpēc katrs brīdis ir vissvarīgākais,

Therefore every moment really is the most important moment

kas vien noticis, ieskaitot šo pašu brīdi.

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

Un tāpēc mūzika, ko tūlīt dzirdēsiet,

And so therefore this music you're about to hear

ir, iespējams, pati svarīgākā,

is maybe the most important music

ko dzirdēsiet savā dzīvē.

you'll ever hear in your life.

(Smiekli)

(Laughter)

(Aplausi)

(Applause)

(Aplausi)

(Applause)

Paldies.

Thank you.

(Aplausi)

(Applause)

(Aplausi)

(Applause)

Ja man pēc tam laimējas jūs satikt,

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

lūdzu, nesakiet:

you could please refrain from saying,

„Ak, Kungs! Tu dzīvē esi daudz īsāka.”

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

(Smiekli)

(Laughter)

Jo skatuve ir kā optiska ilūzija,

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

nezin kāpēc.

for some reason.

(Smiekli)

(Laughter)

Līdzīgi kā Visums ir ieliekts.

Somewhat like the curving of the universe.

Nezinu, kāpēc tā. Intervijās man bieži saka:

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

„Tavas ģitāras ir tik milzīgas!”

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

(Smiekli)

(Laughter)

„Tās noteikti taisa pēc īpaša pasūtījuma. Īpašas, milzonīgas ģitāras.”

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

(Laughter)

(Smiekli)

(Aplausi)

(Applause)

Liels paldies.

Thank you very much.

(Aplausi)

(Applause)
