Story Transcript:
Sl: Mateja je sedela na klopci ob Blejskem jezeru.
En: Mateja was sitting on a bench by Bled Lake.
Sl: Spomladanski zrak je bil poln življenja, ptiči so prepevali, cvetlice so cvetele.
En: The spring air was full of life; birds were singing, flowers were blooming.
Sl: Sprehod ob jezeru ji je pomagal razmisliti.
En: A walk by the lake helped her think.
Sl: Po letih življenja v tujini, se je končno vrnila domov.
En: After years of living abroad, she had finally returned home.
Sl: Potrebovala je mir, da je zbrala pogum za srečanje z bratom Goranom.
En: She needed peace to muster the courage to meet her brother Goran.
Sl: Goran je prišel točno ob dogovorjeni uri.
En: Goran arrived exactly at the agreed-upon time.
Sl: "Živjo, Mateja," je rekel, ko se je približal.
En: "Hello, Mateja," he said as he approached.
Sl: Njegov glas je bil topel, vendar s pridihom zadržanosti.
En: His voice was warm but with a touch of reserve.
Sl: "Hvala, ker si prišla."
En: "Thank you for coming."
Sl: Mateja se je nasmehnila in naredila prostor na klopci.
En: Mateja smiled and made room on the bench.
Sl: "Tudi ti, Goran," je odgovorila.
En: "You too, Goran," she replied.
Sl: Bila je živčna, a hkrati srečna, da ga vidi.
En: She was nervous, yet happy to see him.
Sl: Dolgo sta se nista videla, a v mislih je vedno upala, da se bodo njune poti enkrat spet srečale.
En: They hadn't seen each other for a long time, but in her mind, she always hoped that their paths would cross again.
Sl: Občudovala sta jezero.
En: They admired the lake.
Sl: Drobni čolni so bili zasidrani ob obali, obiskovalci so uživali v sprehodih.
En: Small boats were anchored by the shore, and visitors were enjoying the walks.
Sl: Praznovali so prvi maj, mednarodni praznik dela, s stojnicami in majhnimi zastavicami.
En: They were celebrating May Day, International Workers' Day, with stalls and small flags.
Sl: "Kako si?" jo je vprašal Goran.
En: "How are you?" Goran asked her.
Sl: "Pogrešali smo te."
En: "We've missed you."
Sl: "Vem," je odgovorila Mateja, "in oprosti..."
En: "I know," Mateja answered, "and sorry..."
Sl: Njene misli so se vrtele okoli občutkov krivde.
En: Her thoughts swirled around feelings of guilt.
Sl: "Vzelo mi je preveč časa, da sem tu."
En: "It took me too long to be here."
Sl: Goran je bil dolgo časa tiho.
En: Goran was silent for a long time.
Sl: Njegova ljubezen do družine je bila močna.
En: His love for family was strong.
Sl: Sestre je pogrešal vsak dan, vendar je vedno verjel v njeno odločnost in strast do umetnosti.
En: He missed his sister every day but always believed in her determination and passion for art.
Sl: "Razumem, zakaj si šla," je končno rekel.
En: "I understand why you left," he finally said.
Sl: "Ampak zdi se mi čudno, da smo si tako oddaljeni."
En: "But it seems strange that we have been so distant."
Sl: Lahka sapica je premikala veje dreves.
En: A gentle breeze moved the tree branches.
Sl: Mateja je globoko vdihnila, pogumno zavrtela misli skozi njeno glavo.
En: Mateja took a deep breath, bravely turning the thoughts through her mind.
Sl: "Želim se povezati s teboj," je rekla.
En: "I want to connect with you," she said.
