Harry Baker: A love poem for lonely prime numbers

Prevodilac: Milenka Okuka Lektor: Ivana Krivokuća

My name is Harry Baker. Harry Baker is my name.

Ja se zovem Hari Bejker. Hari Bejker se zovem ja.

If your name was Harry Baker, then our names would be the same.

Kad bi i ti zvao se Hari Bejker, onda zvao bi se isto kao ja.

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

It's a short introductory part.

Ovo je kratak uvod.

Yeah, I'm Harry.

Da, ja sam Hari.

I study maths. I write poetry.

Studiram matematiku. Pišem poeziju.

So I thought I'd start with a love poem about prime numbers.

Pa sam mislio da počnem ljubavnom pesmom o prostim brojevima.

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

This is called "59."

Ova pesma se zove "59".

I was going to call it "Prime Time Loving."

Mislio sam da je nazovem "Ljubav u udarnom terminu".

That reaction is why I didn't.

Zbog te reakcije, nisam je tako nazvao.

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

So, "59."

Dakle, "59".

59 wakes up on the wrong side of the bed.

59 se budi na pogrešnoj strani kreveta.

Realizes all his hair is on one side of his head.

Shvata da mu je sva kosa iza jednog uveta.

Takes just under a minute to work out that it’s because of the way that he slept.

Za manje od minuta shvata da je to zbog načina na koji je spavao.

He finds some clothes and gets dressed.

Pronalazi odeću i oblači se.

He can’t help but look in the mirror and be subtly impressed

Ne može da odoli da ne baci pogled u ogledalo i oduševi se.

How he looks rough around the edges and yet casually messed.

Kako izgleda skockano po bokovima, a ipak nemar oseti se.

And as he glances out the window, he sees the sight that he gets blessed with

I dok baca pogled kroz prozor vidi prizor božanstven,

šezdesetku preko puta.

of 60 from across the street.

Šezdesetka beše bajna.

Now 60 was beautiful.

With perfectly trimmed cuticles, dressed in something suitable.

Savršeno podrezanih zanoktica, prikladno odevena.

Nikad bez takta, nit gruba akta.

Never rude or crude at all.

Unimprovable, right on time as usual, more on cue than a snooker ball

Nenadmašna, uvek tačna, kao kec na deset dobitačna,

al' na izgled nehajno odlična.

but liked to play it super cool.

59 wanted to tell her that he knew her favorite flower.

59 je želeo da joj kaže da zna njen omiljeni cvet.

He thought of her every second, every minute, every hour.

Mislio je na nju svakog trena, svakog minuta, svakog časa.

But he knew it wouldn’t work, he’d never get the girl.

Ali znao je da neće ići, nikada mu neće biti devojka.

Because although she lived across the street

Jer premda živi preko puta,

they came from different worlds.

oni nisu ista sorta.

While 59 admired 60’s perfectly round figure,

Dok se 59 divio zaokruženoj šezdesetkinoj figuri,

60 thought 59 was odd. (Laughter)

šezdesetka ga nije smatrala parom. (Smeh)

One of his favorite films was "101 Dalmatians."

Jedan od njegovih omiljenih filmova beše "101 dalmatinac".

She preferred the sequel.

Njoj se više sviđao nastavak.

He romanticized the idea they were star-crossed lovers.

Maštao je o tome da su poput ukletih ljubavnika.

They could overcome the odds and evens because they had each other.

Da mogu da prevaziđu sve što ih sparuje i rasparuje, jer su par.

Ona se je pak držala strogih načela što majka je na nju prenela:

While she maintained the strict views imposed on her by her mother

ono što deli, ne izjednačava.

That separate could not be equal.

Iako se ponekad osećao glupo i kao budala

And though at the time he felt stupid and dumb

jer pokušavao je da voli devojku koju kontroliše glupa mama.

For trying to love a girl controlled by her stupid mum,

He should have been comforted by the simple sum.

Trebalo je da ga teši prosta suma.

Oduzmi 59 od 60 i ostaće ti jedan samo.

Take 59 away from 60, and you’re left with the one.

Sure enough after two months of moping around,

Konačno nakon dva meseca pokunjeno što je išao,

61 dan kasnije, 61 je našao.

61 days later, 61 was who he found,

He had lost his keys and his parents were out.

Izgubio je ključeve, a roditelji mu kući ne behu.

So one day after school he went into a house

Pa je jednom posle škole, ušao u njenu kuću.

As he noticed the slightly wonky numbers on the door,

Primetivši da su se brojevi na vratima malčice klimali,

He wondered why he’d never introduced himself before,

pitao se zašto se nikad pre nisu upoznali.

As she let him in, his jaw dropped in awe.

Ulazeći, vilice mu se u čudu razdvojiše.

61 je kao 60, samo malo više. (Smeh)

61 was like 60, but a little bit more. (Laughter)

She had prettier eyes, and an approachable smile,

Imala je lepše oči i osmeh koji je hrabrio,

And like him, rough around the edges, casual style,

i stil kao njegov, skockan al' nehajan.

And like him, everything was in disorganized piles,

I kod nje je sve bilo u neurednim hrpama,

And like him, her mum didn’t mind if friends stayed a while.

Ni njena majka nije marila ako joj prijatelji duže ostanu.

Because she was like him, and he liked her.

Jer bila je njemu nalik, voleo je njen lik.

He reckoned she would like him if she knew he was like her,

Cenio je da bi joj bio drag, kad bi znala da mu je draga.

And it was different this time. I mean, this girl was wicked,

I ovaj put bilo je drugačije. Mislim, devojka je bila čarna.

Pa se osmelio da je pita za cifre.

So he plucked up the courage and asked for her digits.

She said, "I'm 61." He grinned, said, "I'm 59."

Rekla je: "Ja sam 61." Nasmešio se, rekavši: "Ja sam 59."

Today I’ve had a really nice time,

Danas mi je zaista bilo bajno,

So tomorrow if you wanted you could come over to mine?

Pa sutra, ako želiš, možeš kod mene da svratiš.

She said, "Sure."

Reče: "Naravno."

She loved talking to someone just as quirky,

Volela je da razgovara s nekim jednako neobičnim.

She agreed to this unofficial first date.

Pristala je na prvi neslužbeni sastanak.

In the end he was only ready one minute early,

Na kraju on se spremio svega minut ranije,

But it didn’t matter because she arrived one minute late.

ali to nije bilo važno jer ona je došla minut kasnije.

And from that moment on there was nonstop chatter,

I od tog trena, nisu prestajali da ćaskaju,

How they loved "X Factor," how they had two factors,

da voleli su "Iks faktor", da imaju dva faktora,

How that did not matter, distinctiveness made them better,

da to nije važno, izgledali su bolje kao osobenjaci.

By the end of the night they knew they were meant together.

Do kraja noći znali su da im je suđeno da budu zajedno.

And one day she was talking about stuck-up 60,

A jednoga dana dok je govorila o oholoj šezdesetci,

She noticed that 59 looked a bit shifty.

Primetila je da 59 izgleda pometeno.

He blushed, told her of his crush:

Pocrveneo je, zaljubljenost priznao:

“The best thing that never happened because it led to us.”

"To je nešto najbolje što se nije desilo jer je do nas dovelo."

61 was clever, see, not prone to jealousy,

61 beše pametna, vidite, nesklona ljubomori,

She looked him in the eyes and told him quite tenderly,

Pogleda ga u oči i reče mu, nadasve nežno:

"You’re 59, I’m 61, together we combine to become twice what 60 could ever be."

"Ti si 59, ja sam 61, naš zbir je duplo veći nego što će 60 ikada biti."

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

At this point 59 had tears in his eyes,

Tada suze ispuniše oči 59,

Was so glad to have this one-of-a-kind girl in his life.

Beše srećan što ima tako jedinstvenu devojku pored sebe.

He told her the very definition of being prime

Rekao joj je samu definiciju prostog stanja:

Was that with only one and himself could his heart divide,

samo s jednom i samim sobom njegovo se srce deli,

And she was the one he wanted to give his heart to,

a ona je bila ta kojoj želeo je da podari srce svoje,

She said she felt the same and now she knew the films were half true.

rekla je da oseća isto to i da sada zna da su filmovi polu tačni.

Jer to nije prava ljubav, to je samo primerak,

Because that wasn't real love, that love was just a sample,

When it came to real love, they were a prime example.

kada se radi o pravoj ljubavi, oni su savršeno prost uzorak.

Cheers.

Živeli!

(Applause)

(Aplauz)

That was the first poem that I wrote

To je bila prva pesma koju sam napisao

and it was for a prime number-themed poetry night -- (Laughter) --

i napisao sam je za poetsko veče o prostim brojevima - (Smeh) -

which turned out to be a prime number-themed poetry competition.

za koje se ispostavilo da je takmičenje u poeziji o prostim brojevima.

And I became a prime number-themed poetry competition winner,

A ja sam postao pobednik poetskog takmičenja o prostim brojevima,

or as I like to call it, a prime minister. (Laughter)

ili kako ja volim da kažem: prostak. (Smeh)

And this is how I discovered these things called poetry slams,

Evo kako sam otkrio nešto što se zove pesnički slemovi,

and if you don't know what a poetry slam is,

a ako ne znate šta je pesnički slem,

it was a format come up with in America 30 years ago

to je format koji je nastao u Americi pre 30 godina

as a way of tricking people into going to poetry events

kao način da se obmanu ljudi da dođu na poetske događaje,

by putting an exciting word like "slam" on the end.

tako što bi dodali uzbudljivu reč kao što je slem na kraju.

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

And each performer got three minutes to perform

Svaki izvođač dobije tri minuta za nastup,

and then random audience members would hold up scorecards,

a nasumično izabrani ljudi iz publike podižu table s ocenama,

and they would end up with a numerical score,

tako da svako završi sa nekim rezultatom,

and what this meant is,

a to je bilo značajno

it kind of broke down the barrier between performer and audience

jer je, na neki način, srušilo zid između izvođača i publike

and encouraged the kind of connection with the listener.

i učvršćivalo je vezu sa slušaocem.

Takođe je značilo i da možete da pobedite.

And what it also means is you can win.

And if you win a poetry slam, you can call yourself a slam champion

Ako osvojite pesnički slem, postajete slem šampion

and pretend you're a wrestler,

i možete da se pretvarate da ste rvač,

and if you lose a poetry slam you can say, "Oh, what? Poetry's a subjective art form,

a ako izgubite, možete da kažete: "Molim? Poezija je subjektivna umetnička forma,

you can't put numbers on such things."

ne idu cifre uz to."

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

But I loved it, and I got involved in these slams,

No meni se svidelo i počeo sam da idem na slemove,

and I became the U.K. slam champion

i postao sam slem šampion u Britaniji

i pozvan sam na Svetsko pesničko prvenstvo u Parizu.

and got invited to the Poetry World Cup in Paris,

which was unbelievable.

To je bilo neverovatno.

It was people from all around the world speaking in their native languages

Došli su ljudi iz celog sveta, govorili su na svojim maternjim jezicima

da bi ih ocenilo pet stranaca iz Francuske.

to be judged by five French strangers.

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

And somehow, I won, which was great,

Ja sam nekako pobedio, što je bilo sjajno,

and I've been able to travel the world since doing it,

i to mi je omogućilo da putujem svetom,

but it also means that this next piece

ali to takođe znači da je ova sledeća stvar,

is technically the best poem in the world.

tehnički najbolja pesma na svetu.

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

So...

Dakle...

(Applause)

(Aplauz)

According to five French strangers.

Prema mišljenju pet stranaca iz Francuske.

So this is "Paper People."

Ovo su "Papirni ljudi".

I like people.

Ja volim ljude.

I'd like some paper people.

Voleo bih kad bi bili papirni ljudi.

They’d be purple paper people. Maybe pop-up purple paper people.

Bili bi purpurni papirni ljudi. Možda hopa-cupa purpurni papirni ljudi.

Proper pop-up purple paper people.

Pravi hopa-cupa purpurni papirni ljudi.

"How do you prop up pop-up purple paper people?"

"Kako da poduprete hopa-cupa purpurne ljude?"

I hear you cry. Well I ...

Čujem vaše vapaje. Pa ja...

I’d probably prop up proper pop-up purple paper people

Ja bih prosto podupro prave hopa-cupa purpurne papirne ljude

with a proper pop-up purple people paperclip,

sa pravim spajalicama za hopa-cupa purpurne ljude,

but I’d pre-prepare appropriate adhesives as alternatives,

ali pre bih pripremio prikladne lepke za svaki slučaj,

a cheeky pack of Blu Tack just in case the paper slipped.

drski lepak u stiku za slučaj da papir sklizne.

Jer bih mogao da napravim hopa-cupa metropolu.

Because I could build a pop-up metropolis.

but I wouldn’t wanna deal with all the paper people politics.

Ali ne bih se bavio politikom purpurnih papirnih ljudi.

Papirni političari s providnom politikom,

paper politicians with their paper-thin policies,

izneverenim obećanjima bez prikladnih izvinjenja.

broken promises without appropriate apologies.

There’d be a little paper me. And a little paper you.

Imali bi malenog papirnog mene. I malenog papirnog tebe.

And we could watch paper TV and it would all be pay-per-view.

I gledali bi papirni TV, a sve bi bilo kao nacrtano.

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

We’d see the poppy paper rappers rap about their paper package

Gledali bi hopa-cupa papirne repere što repuju o svojim papirnim pucama

or watch paper people carriers get stuck in paper traffic on the A4.

ili bi gledali papirne kurire zaglavljene u gužvi na A4 putu.

(Laughter) Paper.

(Smeh) Papir.

There’d be a paper princess Kate but we’d all stare at paper Pippa,

Bila pi papirna princeza Kejt, ali svi bi buljili u papirnu Pipu,

and then we’d all live in fear of killer Jack the Paper-Ripper,

i sve bi nas bilo strah ubice Džeka Papirnog Trboseka,

because the paper propaganda propagates the people's prejudices,

jer papirna propaganda propagira ljudske predrasude,

papers printing pictures of the photogenic terrorists.

na papiru štampaju slike fotogeničnih terorista.

A little paper me. And a little paper you.

Maleni papirni ja. I maleni papirni ti.

And in a pop-up population people’s problems pop up too.

A u hopa-cupa populaciji i ljudski problemi iskaču.

There’d be a pompous paper parliament who remained out of touch,

Imali bi pompezni papirni parlament što držao bi se po strani,

and who ignored the people's protests about all the paper cuts,

i koji bi ignorisao proteste zbog silnih podrezivanja papira,

then the peaceful paper protests would get blown to paper pieces,

a onda bi mirne papirne proteste razneli na papirne komadiće

by the confetti cannons manned by pre-emptive police.

topovi za konfete kojima upravlja preventivna policija.

And yes there’d still be paper money, so there’d still be paper greed,

I da, i dalje bi postojale papirne pare, pa bi bilo i pohlepe za papirom,

and the paper piggy bankers pocketing more than they need,

a papirne kasice prasice trpale bi preko svojih potreba,

purchasing the potpourri to pepper their paper properties,

kupovali bi potpuri da zapapre svoje papirne posede,

others live in poverty and ain’t acknowledged properly.

dok drugi žive u bedi i niko ih pravilno ne ceni.

A proper poor economy where so many are proper poor,

Prava ekonomija bede, gde su mnogi zapravo u bedi,

no dok njihove potrebe ignorišu, novac troše na velike ratove.

but while their needs are ignored the money goes to big wars.

Origami armije prave za papirne avione planove

Origami armies unfold plans for paper planes

and we remain imprisoned in our own paper chains,

a mi ostajemo u ropstvu sopstvenih papirnih okova,

but the greater shame is that it always seems to stay the same,

ali još veći sram je da izgleda kako sve uvek isto ostaje,

what changes is who’s in power choosing how to lay the blame,

menjaju se samo oni na vlasti koji biraju krivce,

they’re naming names, forgetting these are names of people,

prozivaju po imenima, zaboravljajući da su to ljudska imena,

because in the end it all comes down to people.

jer na kraju krajeva sve se svodi na ljude.

I like people.

Ja volim ljude.

'Cause even when the situation’s dire,

Jer čak i kad izgledi na kob mirišu

it is only ever people who are able to inspire,

jedino su ljudi u stanju da nas inspirišu,

and on paper, it’s hard to see how we all cope.

a na papiru, teško je reći kako svi mi to podnosimo.

But in the bottom of Pandora’s box there’s still hope,

Ali na dnu Pandorine kutije još ima nade,

and I still hope 'cause I believe in people.

a ja se i dalje nadam jer verujem u ljude.

People like my grandparents.

Ljude poput mojih bake i deke.

Who every single day since I was born,

Koji su svakoga dana otkad sam se rodio

have taken time out of their morning to pray for me.

odvojili, svakog jutra, vreme da se mole za mene.

That’s 7892 days straight of someone checking I’m okay,

To je tačno 7892 dana da neko pazi da budem u redu

and that’s amazing.

i to je divno.

People like my aunt who puts on plays with prisoners.

Ljude, kao moja tetka koja pravi predstave sa zatvorenicima.

People who are capable of genuine forgiveness.

Ljude koji su sposobni za istinski oprost.

People like the persecuted Palestinians.

Ljude, poput proganjanih Palestinaca.

People who go out of their way to make your life better,

Ljude koji zanemare svoje potrebe da bi tebi ulepšali život

and expect nothing in return.

i ne očekuju ništa za uzvrat.

You see, people have potential to be powerful.

Vidite, ljudi su potencijalno moćni.

Just because the people in power tend to pretend to be victims

Samo zato što oni na vlasti izigravaju žrtve,

we don’t need to succumb to that system.

ne moramo da se povinujemo tom sistemu.

And a paper population is no different.

A papirna populacija nije drugačija.

There’s a little paper me. And a little paper you.

Imamo malog papirnog mene. I malog papirnog tebe.

And in a pop-up population people's problems pop up too,

A u hopa-cupa populaciji i ljudski problemi bi iskočili,

but even if the whole world fell apart then we’d still make it through.

no i kad bi se ceo svet raspao mi bismo i dalje opstali.

Because we’re people.

Jer smo ljudi.

Thank you.

Hvala vam.

(Applause)

(Aplauz)

Thank you very much. I've just got time for one more.

Mnogo vam hvala. Imam vremena za još jednu.

For me, poetry has been the ultimate way of ideas without frontiers.

Poezija je za mene vrhunski oblik iskazivanja ideja bez ograničenja.

When I first started,

Kada sam počinjao,

the people who inspired me were the ones with the amazing stories,

inspirisali su me ljudi predivnim pričama

and I thought, as an 18-year-old with a happy life, it was too normal,

i razmišljao sam, kao bezbrižni osamnaestogodišnjak, da je to prirodno

but I could create these worlds where I could talk about my experiences

da mogu da stvaram te svetove kojima sam mogao da prenesem svoja iskustva

and dreams and beliefs.

i snove i verovanja.

So it's amazing to be here in front of you today.

Divno je danas biti ovde, pred svima vama.

Thank you for being here.

Hvala vam što ste došli.

If you weren't here,

Da niste došli,

it would be pretty much like the sound check yesterday.

ovo bi izgledalo kao jučerašnja tonska proba.

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

And this is more fun.

Ovako je zabavnije.

So this last one is called "The Sunshine Kid."

Poslednja pesma se zove "Sunčano dete".

Thank you very much for listening.

Mnogo vam hvala na pažnji.

Old man sunshine was proud of his sun,

Ostareli sunčev sjaj beše ponosan na svoje sunce,

And it brightened his day to see his little boy run,

I dan mu je bio obasjan što gledao je dečaka kako jurca

Not because of what he’d done, nor the problems overcome,

Ne zbog svega što je bilo, niti problema kojih više nema,

But that despite that his disposition remained a sunny one.

Već da je uprkos svemu njegova narav ostala vedra.

It hadn’t always been like this.

Nije uvek bilo ovako.

There’d been times when he’d tried to hide his brightness,

Nekada je pokušavao da skrije svoj sjaj.

You see, every star hits periods of hardship,

Vidite, svaka zvezda ima tegobne periode,

It takes a brighter light to inspire them through the darkness.

potrebna je jasnija svetlost da ih vodi kroz tamu.

If we go back to when he was born in a nebula,

Ako se vratimo do trenutka kad rođen je u maglini,

We know that he never was thought of as regular,

znamo da ga nikada nisu običnim smatrali,

Because he had a flair about him,

Imao je nekakvu auru,

To say the Midas touch is wrong

Recimo, ne baš kao Midin dodir,

But all he went near seemed to turn a little bronze,

Ali čemu god bi se primakao kao da je bronzano postajalo,

Yes this sun was loved by some more than others,

Da, ovo sunce su jedni voleli više od drugih,

It was a case of Joseph and his dreamcoat and his brothers

Beše to slučaj Josifa, njegovog plašta od snova i braće

Because standing out from the crowd had its pros and its cons,

Jer štrčanje u gomili ima svoje prednosti i mane,

And jealousy created enemies in those he outshone

A zavist stvara neprijatelje među zasenjenima,

Such as the Shadow People.

Poput Ljudi senka,

Now the Shadow People didn’t like the Sunshine Kid,

E sad, Ljudi senke nisu voleli Sunčano dete,

Because he showed up the dark things the Shadow People did,

Jer je osvetljavalo mračna dela koja počinili su Ljudi senke,

And when he shone he showed the places where the Shadow People hid,

A kada je sijao, pokazivao je mesta gde su se Ljudi senke skrivali,

So the Shadow People had an evil plan to get rid of him,

Pa su Ljudi senke smislili opaki plan da ga se otarase,

First up -- they made fun of his sunspots,

Prvo su ismevali njegove sunčane pege,

Shooting his dreams from the sky, their words were gunshots,

Obarajući njegove snove s neba, njihove reči bile su meci,

Designed to remind him he wasn’t very cool

tu da ga podsete da nije naročito kul

And he didn’t fit in with any popular kids at school.

I da se ne uklapa s popularnom decom u školi.

They said his head was up in space and they would bring him down to Earth,

Govorili su da mu je glava u oblacima i da će ga vratiti na Zemlju.

Essentially he came from nothing and that is what he was worth,

U suštini, iz ništavila je nastao i toliko je i vredeo,

He’d never get to go to university to learn,

Nikada neće poći na fakultet da uči.

Only degrees he’d ever show would be the first degree burns

Jedini stepen koji će mu ostati su opekotine trećeg stepena

From those that came too close,

Svi koji su mu se suviše primakli,

they told him he was too bright,

rekli su da je isuviše bistar,

That’s why no one ever looked him in the eyes,

Zato ga niko u oči nije pogledao nikad,

His judgment became clouded

Njegov sud je postao zamagljen

So did the sky, With evaporated tears

Kao i nebo, od suznih isparenja

as the sun started to cry.

kada je sunce zaplakalo.

Because the sunshine kid was bright, with a warm personality,

Jer Sunčano dete je bilo bistra, topla osoba,

And inside he burned savagely

A iznutra je divlje gorelo

Hurt by the words and curses of the shadowy folk

Ranjeno uvredama i psovkama senovitog sveta,

who spoke holes in his soul and left cavities,

oni su rečima bušili njegovu dušu ostavljajući pukotine,

And as his heart hardened, his spark darkened,

I kako je njegovo srce okoštavalo, iskra mu je tamnila,

Every time they called him names it cooled his flames,

Svako dobacivanje hladilo je njegov plamen,

He thought they might like him if he kept his light dim

Mislio je da će ga voleti ako mu svetlost zatamni

But they were busy telling lightning she had terrible aim,

No bili su zaokupljeni govoreći munji da je očajan strelac,

He couldn’t quite get to grips with what they said,

Nije u potpunosti shvatao o čemu su govorili,

So he let his light be eclipsed by what they said,

Pa je pustio da mu njihove reči pomrače sjaj,

He fell into a Lone Star State like Texas,

Pao je u stanje zvezde usamljenika, kao Teksas

And felt like he’d been punched in his solar plexus.

I osećao se kao da su ga udarili u solarni pleksus.

But that’s when Little Miss Sunshine came along

No tada se pojavila Malena gospođica Sunčica

Singing her favorite song about how we’re made to be strong,

Pevajući svoju omiljenu pesmu o tome da smo rođeni jaki,

And you don’t have to be wrong to belong, Just be true to who you are,

I ne moraš se pretvarati da bi se uklopio, samo budi ono što jesi,

because we are all stars at heart.

jer svi smo mi zvezde u duši.

Little Miss Sunshine was hot stuff,

Malena gospođica Sunčica beše prava vatra,

The kind of girl when you looked at her

Onaj tip devojke, koju kad gledaš

you forgot stuff,

zaboravljaš svašta nešto,

But for him, there was no forgetting her,

Ali njemu se nije dalo da zaboravi nju,

The minute he saw her her image burned in his retina,

Čim je ugledao, njen lik mu se urezao u mrežnjaču,

She was out of this world, and she accepted him,

Nije bila s ovog sveta i prihvatila je njega,

Something about this girl meant he knew whenever she was next to him,

Bilo je nešto u njoj zbog čega je uvek znao da je blizu,

Ništa nije bilo mračno kako se činilo i da sanja bi se odvažio,

Things weren’t as dark as they seemed, and he dared to dream,

Od senki nije bilo ni traga; kada bila je blizu on je zračio,

Shadows were nowhere to be seen; when she was there he beamed,

Oči bi mu se ozarile, kako ne može da se odglumi

His eyes would light up in ways that can’t be faked,

When she grinned her rays erased the razor-tipped words of hate,

Kad bi se nasmešila, njeni zraci su brisali kao žilet oštre reči mržnje

They gave each other nicknames, they were "cool star" and "fun sun,"

Dali su jedno drugom nadimke, "Strava zvezda" i "Sunce žarko",

And gradually the shadowy damage became undone,

I vremenom je nestala šteta koju uzrokovale su senke,

She was one in a septillion, and she was brilliant,

Bila je jedna u septilion, i bila je briljantna,

Could turn the coldest blooded reptilians vermillion,

Mogla je od najhladnokrvnijih reptila da stvori vatrene rumenke,

Loved by billions, from Chileans to Brazilians,

volele su je milijarde, od Čileanaca do Brazilaca,

And taught the Sunshine Kid the meaning of resilience.

I naučila je Sunčano dete šta je smisao otpornosti.

She said: “All the darkness in the world

Rekla je: "Sva tama ovog sveta

cannot put out the light from a single candle

ne može da ugasi plamen jedne sveće

So how the hell can they handle your light?

Pa kako, dovraga, da se izbore s tvojim sjajem?

Only you can choose to dim it, and the sky is the limit,

Samo ti ga možeš zatamniti, i ni nebo te tu ne može ograničiti,

so silence the critics by burning.”

zato ućutkaj zanovetala plamom."

And if eyes are windows to the soul then she drew back the curtains

Ako su oči prozori duše, ona je razmakla zavese

And let the sun shine through the hurting.

I pustila svetlost kroz rane.

In a universe of adversity these stars stuck together,

U univerzumu nepočinstva, ove zvezde su se držale zajedno,

And though days became nights the memories would last forever,

Iako dani postaše noći, sećanja opstaše zauvek,

Whether the weatherman said it or not, it would be fine,

Šta god rekao meteorolog, biće sve u redu,

Jer čak i iza oblaka, ovo dete je i dalje sjalo.

'Cause even behind the clouds the kid could still shine.

Da, Sunčano dete beše bistra, topla osoba,

Yes, the Sunshine Kid was bright, with a warm personality,

And inside he burned savagely,

A iznutra je divlje gorelo,

Fueled by the fire inspired across galaxies

Obuhvaćeno plamenom, nadahnutim širom galaksija

By the girl who showed him belief.

Zbog devojke koja mu je pokazala veru.

Thank you very much.

Mnogo vam hvala.

(Applause)
