Story Transcript:
Da: Foråret havde malet Nyhavn i lyse farver.
En: Spring had painted Nyhavn in bright colors.
Da: Blomsterne spirede, og en let brise bar duften af havvand ind over havnen.
En: Flowers were sprouting, and a gentle breeze carried the scent of sea water over the harbor.
Da: Bådene gyngede blidt i vandet, mens menneskerne omkring gik gennem gaderne, optaget af påskens glæder.
En: The boats rocked gently in the water while people around walked through the streets, engrossed in the joys of Easter.
Da: Musikalske toner blandede sig med menneskernes snak, og selskabet underede sig over den festlige stemning.
En: Musical tones mixed with people's chatter, and the company marveled at the festive atmosphere.
Da: Emil stod midt i denne verden af lyd og farve med en stilhed, han ikke forstod.
En: Emil stood in the middle of this world of sound and color with a silence he didn't understand.
Da: Som musiker i hjertet og gennem hver eneste tone, han spillede, var lydene, der engang havde fyldt hans verden, nu dæmpede.
En: As a musician at heart and through every note he played, the sounds that had once filled his world were now muted.
Da: Det hele begyndte forleden dag, pludseligt og uden varsel.
En: It all began the other day, suddenly and without warning.
Da: Han kunne ikke høre de subtile vibrationer fra sine guitarstrenge, og det skræmte ham.
En: He couldn't hear the subtle vibrations from his guitar strings, and it scared him.
Da: En stor koncert nærmede sig, og Astrid og Magnus, hans bandkammerater, stolede på ham.
En: A big concert was approaching, and Astrid and Magnus, his bandmates, relied on him.
Da: Med hver dag, der gik, blev Emil mere ængstelig.
En: With each passing day, Emil became more anxious.
Da: Han havde ikke fortalt Astrid og Magnus om hans høretab.
En: He had not told Astrid and Magnus about his hearing loss.
Da: Han ville ikke skuffe dem.
En: He didn't want to disappoint them.
Da: Han overvejede kort at bruge teknologiske hjælpemidler eller blot stole på muskelhukommelse, men frygten for at fejle svang over ham som en skygge.
En: He briefly considered using technological aids or simply relying on muscle memory, but the fear of failing hung over him like a shadow.
Da: Repetitionslokalet lå ved kajen i Nyhavn.
En: The rehearsal space was located by the quay in Nyhavn.
Da: Hver dag øvede de der, plantet midt i forårsglæden.
En: Every day they practiced there, planted in the middle of spring's delight.
Da: En dag, kort tid før koncerten, stod Emil der med guitaren i hånden, mens Astrid stemte sin violin og Magnus pillede ved trommerne.
En: One day, shortly before the concert, Emil stood there with the guitar in hand while Astrid tuned her violin and Magnus fiddled with the drums.
Da: Lydene gled ud af fokus, og han indså med frygt, at det blev værre.
En: The sounds slipped out of focus, and he realized with fear that it was getting worse.
Da: Han tog en dyb indånding og kiggede på sine bandkammerater.
En: He took a deep breath and looked at his bandmates.
Da: “Jeg må tale med jer,” sagde han, med en stemme, der rystede svagt.
En: "I need to talk to you," he said, with a voice that trembled slightly.
Da: Astrid skubbede til Magnus, og de vendte begge deres opmærksomhed mod ham.
En: Astrid nudged Magnus, and they both turned their attention to him.
