Story Transcript:
Sl: Megle se dvigajo nad jezero Bled.
En: The mist rises over Lake Bled.
Sl: Listje, obarvano v zlate in rjave odtenke, plava po mirni vodi.
En: Leaves, colored in golden and brown hues, float on the calm water.
Sl: Na otočku se kot stražar dviguje cerkev, obdana z zaveso megle.
En: On the island, like a sentinel, the church rises, shrouded in a veil of mist.
Sl: Na obali v daljavi se svetijo vrhovi Julijskih Alp, že rahlo pokriti s snežno odejo.
En: In the distance on the shore, the peaks of the Julian Alps glisten, already slightly covered with a snowy blanket.
Sl: Matej stoji ob obali, še vedno v mislih.
En: Matej stands by the shore, lost in thought.
Sl: Že odmalena sta se z Alenko srečevala tukaj, na ta dan.
En: Since childhood, he and Alenka have met here on this day.
Sl: Ob svetem Andreju izmenjata seznam želja in sanj za prihajajoče leto.
En: On St. Andrew's day, they exchange lists of wishes and dreams for the coming year.
Sl: Obljuba, sklenjena pred leti, sta najlepša vez in spomin na otroštvo.
En: A promise made years ago is the most beautiful bond and memory of childhood.
Sl: Danes pa je nekaj drugače.
En: But today is different.
Sl: Mostiček, ki vodi na njuno skrivališče, je včeraj nenadoma popustil.
En: The small bridge leading to their hideout suddenly gave way yesterday.
Sl: Poleg tega v zraku visi nevihta, nevihte se zbirajo nad jezerom.
En: Moreover, a storm hangs in the air, storms gathering over the lake.
Sl: Matej čuti veter, ki ga trese do kosti.
En: Matej feels the wind shaking him to the bone.
Sl: "Moram do nje," si misli.
En: "I must reach her," he thinks to himself.
Sl: Matej ve, da ni lahko prečkati jezera po drugi poti, a obljuba je obljuba.
En: Matej knows it is not easy to cross the lake by another path, but a promise is a promise.
Sl: Vedno je držal besedo.
En: He has always kept his word.
Sl: Matej začne hoditi po blatnem robu jezera.
En: Matej starts walking along the muddy edge of the lake.
Sl: Veter ga piha nazaj, a srce ga vleče naprej.
En: The wind blows him back, but his heart pulls him forward.
Sl: Sreča potok, ki divje drvi.
En: He encounters a stream rushing wildly.
Sl: Ogleduje si zamaknjene kamne, ki so delno potopljeni v vodo.
En: He eyes the dislodged stones, partially submerged in water.
Sl: Odloči se.
En: He makes a decision.
Sl: "Alenka," zakliče vase, "moram te videti danes.
En: "Alenka," he calls within, "I must see you today."
Sl: "S previdnostjo stopi naprej.
En: With caution, he steps forward.
Sl: Kamen za kamnom.
En: Stone by stone.
Sl: Vode ga škropijo, a ne ustavijo.
En: The water splashes him, but it doesn't stop him.
Sl: Veteran njegovih stopinj ga vedno bolj nosi naprej.
En: The force of his determination carries him onward.
Sl: Ko končno stopi na zadnji kamen, se zravna in pogleda proti cerkvi.
En: When he finally steps onto the last stone, he straightens and looks toward the church.
Sl: Alenka stoji na drugi strani.
En: Alenka stands on the other side.
Sl: Njene roke mahajo v zrak, obraz je osvetljen s svetlobo nevihte.
En: Her hands wave in the air, her face illuminated by the storm's light.
Sl: Iskri se jezero, a njene oči so tople.
En: The lake sparkl
