Story Transcript:

Sl: Svetloba blejskozerskega večera je bila čarobna.
En: The light of the Blejsko jezero evening was magical.

Sl: Sneg je pokrival tla, in sveče na stojnicah so metale tople odseve na ledeno jezero.
En: Snow covered the ground, and the candles at the stalls cast warm reflections on the icy lake.

Sl: Bledski zimski festival je bil v polnem razmahu, in zrak je bil poln vonja po kuhanem vinu in cimetu.
En: The Bledski winter festival was in full swing, and the air was filled with the scent of mulled wine and cinnamon.

Sl: Anže je stal na mostu, kjer je spomladi vedno gledal labode in premišljeval o prihodnosti.
En: Anže stood on the bridge, where in the spring he always watched the swans and thought about the future.

Sl: Danes pa je bil povsem osredotočen na preteklost.
En: But today, he was entirely focused on the past.

Sl: Tjaša je pritekla do njega, nasmejana in z razmršeno kapo na glavi.
En: Tjaša ran up to him, smiling with a disheveled hat on her head.

Sl: Vedno je bila taka – polna energije in vedno pripravljena na nove dogodivščine.
En: She was always like that—full of energy and always ready for new adventures.

Sl: "Spomniš se, Anže? Točno tukaj sva se prvič srečala. Skoraj si padel v vodo, ko si hodil nazaj!"
En: "Do you remember, Anže? This is exactly where we first met. You almost fell into the water when you walked backward!"

Sl: Anže se je nasmehnil ob spominu.
En: Anže smiled at the memory.

Sl: "Ja, bil sem malo neroden." Tišina.
En: "Yeah, I was a bit clumsy." Silence.

Sl: Njegova duša je bila bolj zapletena.
En: His soul was more complicated.

Sl: Želel je govoriti o stvareh, ki so mu ležale na srcu, a besede so mu izmikale.
En: He wanted to talk about the things weighing on his heart, but the words eluded him.

Sl: "Tjaša, veš, zakaj sem te res povabil sem?" začel je počasi.
En: "Tjaša, you know why I really invited you here?" he began slowly.

Sl: Tjaša ga je pogledala v oči.
En: Tjaša looked him in the eyes.

Sl: "Anže? Kaj je narobe? Me skrbiš."
En: "Anže? What's wrong? You have me worried."

Sl: "Ni ravno narobe, samo... zdi se mi, da se stvari spreminjajo.
En: "It's not exactly wrong, it just... it seems to me that things are changing.

Sl: Vsak ima zdaj svoje življenje, in bojim se, da je najino prijateljstvo v drugem planu."
En: Everyone has their own life now, and I fear our friendship is taking a back seat."

Sl: Tjaša se je nasmehnila, a tokrat je bil njen nasmeh topel in razumevajoč.
En: Tjaša smiled, but this time her smile was warm and understanding.

Sl: "Anže, prijateljstvo ni vedno enako.
En: "Anže, friendship isn't always the same.

Sl: Se spreminja, tako kot mi.
En: It changes, just like we do.

Sl: Ampak to ne pomeni, da je konec ali da sva manj prijatelja."
En: But that doesn't mean it's over or that we're less of friends."

Sl: Zajel je sapo, njegov glas je bil tih, toda zdaj je bil gotov.
En: He took a breath, his voice was quiet, but now he was certain.

Sl: "Želim, da ostaneva pomembna drug drugemu, tudi če se stvari spreminjajo."
En: "I want us to remain important to each other, even if things are changing."

Sl: Tjaša je stopila korak bližje.
En: Tjaša stepped a bit closer.

Sl: "Sem zelo vesela, da si to povedal.
En: "I'm very glad you said that.

Sl: Trenutno mogoče ne bova vedno skupaj, ampak vedno bova pomembna.
En: We might not always be together right now, but we'll always be important.

Sl: In veš, imam eno idejo."
En: And you know, I have an idea."

Sl: "Ja?" Anže si ni mogel pomagati.
En: "Yeah?" Anže couldn't help himself.

Sl: Radovednost je prevladala nad njegovimi skrbmi.
En: Curiosity prevailed over his worries.

Sl: "Potujva skupaj naslednje leto.
En: "Let's travel together next year.

Sl: Izberiva novo destinacijo in poiščiva nove spomine.
En: Let's choose a new destination and find new memories.

Sl: Lahko vzameva šotor ali pa greva na kolesarjenje po Alpah."
En: We can take a tent or go biking in the Alps."

Sl: Anže je pogledal naokrog, kjer so se ljudje smejali in uživali v festivalu.
En: Anže looked around, where people were laughing and enjoying the festival.

Sl: Nenadoma se zima ni zdela več tako mrzla.
En: Suddenly, winter didn't seem so cold anymore.

Sl: "Mislim, da je to odlična ideja," je rekel.
En: "I think that's an excellent idea," he said.

Sl: "Mogoče je čas za novo poglavje."
En: "Maybe it's time for a new chapter."

Sl: Ob njegovem odgovoru je začutil olajšanje.
En: With his response, he felt a sense of relief.

Sl: Vedel je, da sta z Tjašo povezala radost preteklosti z obljubo prihodnosti.
En: He knew that he and Tjaša had connected the joy of the past with the promise of the future.

Sl: Včasih so spremembe samo nov začetek za nekaj boljšega.
En: Sometimes changes are just a new beginning for something better.

Sl: V vetru je bilo čutiti novo upanje, in na Bledskem jezeru je bil Anže bolj srečen kot kadar koli prej.
En: In the wind, there was a feeling of new hope, and at Bledsko jezero, Anže was happier than ever before.
