Story Transcript:

Sk: V Bratislave, na internáte plnom histórie, sa schyľovalo k sviatku svätého Martina.
En: In Bratislave, in a dormitory full of history, preparations were underway for the feast of svätého Martina.

Sk: Listy už dlho padali zo stromov a dýchali farebnosťou jesene.
En: Leaves had long been falling from the trees and breathed with the colors of autumn.

Sk: Učitelia a študenti sa pripravovali na oslavy, no vnútorný svet Mareka bol ešte zamrazený.
En: Teachers and students were getting ready for the celebrations, but Marek's inner world remained frozen.

Sk: Chodby internátu zvonili smiechom a ruchom.
En: The dormitory halls rang with laughter and commotion.

Sk: Krásne ozdobené veniecmi a lampiónmi lákali.
En: Beautifully decorated with wreaths and lanterns, they were inviting.

Sk: No Marek bol myšlienkami inde.
En: But Marek's thoughts were elsewhere.

Sk: Stál pri okne a sledoval, ako spolužiaci trénujú tanečné kroky a pripravujú stánky na dvore.
En: He stood by the window and watched as his classmates rehearsed dance steps and prepared stalls in the yard.

Sk: Cítil sa cudzí.
En: He felt alien.

Sk: V rukách držal svoj milovaný husľový obal.
En: In his hands, he held his beloved violin case.

Sk: Hudba bola jeho priateľ, ale iba potichu, pre neho samotného.
En: Music was his friend, but only quietly, for himself.

Sk: Marek našiel útechu vo svojej izbe, kde zdieľal priestor s Ivanou, dievčaťom veselým ako jar.
En: Marek found solace in his room, where he shared the space with Ivanou, a girl as cheerful as spring.

Sk: Ivana uvidela smútok v jeho očiach a neodolateľne sa ho spýtala: „Marek, prečo si stále taký uzavretý?
En: Ivana saw the sadness in his eyes and irresistibly asked him, "Marek, why are you always so closed off?

Sk: Stane sa niečo?
En: Is something happening?"

Sk: “Marek sa zadíval na zem.
En: Marek looked down at the ground.

Sk: „Chcel by som zahrať na sviatku.
En: "I would like to play at the feast.

Sk: Neviem, či je to dobrý nápad.
En: I don't know if it's a good idea.

Sk: Čo ak to pokazím?
En: What if I ruin it?"

Sk: “Ivana sa usmiala.
En: Ivana smiled.

Sk: „Marek, to, čo máš v sebe, musíš zdieľať.
En: "Marek, what you have inside you, you must share.

Sk: Hudba je dar.
En: Music is a gift.

Sk: Pomôžem ti.
En: I'll help you.

Sk: Môžeme trénovať spolu.
En: We can practice together."

Sk: “S jej pomocou Marek začal precvičovať.
En: With her help, Marek began to practice.

Sk: Cítil sa slobodnejší, keď mohol hrať bez obáv.
En: He felt freer when he could play without fear.

Sk: Každý tón mu prinášal väčšiu odvahu.
En: Each note brought him greater courage.

Sk: Nastal sväto-martinská oslava.
En: The feast of sväto-martinská arrived.

Sk: Dvor praskal ľuďmi.
En: The yard was bustling with people.

Sk: Marek vedel, že jeho chvíľa nastala.
En: Marek knew his moment had come.

Sk: Prišiel čas vystúpiť na improvizované pódium.
En: It was time to step onto the improvised stage.

Sk: Ivana ho povzbudila pohľadom.
En: Ivana encouraged him with a look.

Sk: Srdce mu bilo rýchlo.
En: His heart was beating fast.

Sk: Zhlboka sa nadýchol a vstúpil na pódium.
En: He took a deep breath a
