Story Transcript:
Lv: Ziemassvētku gaiss Rīgā bija dzirkstošs.
En: The Ziemassvētku air in Rīgā was sparkling.
Lv: Rīgas Ziemassvētku tirdziņš bija dzīvs ar gaismu un smaržu.
En: The Rīgas Ziemassvētku tirdziņš was alive with light and scent.
Lv: Ilze stāvēja pie karstvīna stenda, turot krūzi rokās, bet domās bija tālu prom.
En: Ilze stood by the mulled wine stand, holding a mug in her hands, but her thoughts were far away.
Lv: Viņa redzēja, kā cilvēki apkārt viņai smējās un apskaujas.
En: She saw how people around her laughed and hugged each other.
Lv: Viņa gribēja just tādu pašu siltumu savā sirdī.
En: She wanted to feel the same warmth in her heart.
Lv: Ilze bija izcila arhitekte, bet darbs viņu noslogoja.
En: Ilze was an outstanding architect, but work burdened her.
Lv: Viņa ilgojās pēc ģimenes, lai gan lielākoties jutās sveša savējiem.
En: She longed for family, although she mostly felt alienated from her own.
Lv: Viņas brālis Oskars un māsa Marta vienmēr bija tuvākas ģimenes lietās, bet Ilze bija kaut kur apkārt, savā pasaulē.
En: Her brother Oskars and sister Marta were always closer in family matters, but Ilze was somewhere else, in her own world.
Lv: Šovakar bija ģimenes sapulce.
En: Tonight was a family gathering.
Lv: Sveču gaisma un rotātas egles radīja maigu atmosfēru.
En: The candlelight and decorated trees created a gentle atmosphere.
Lv: Ilze satika Oskaru pie piparkūku stenda.
En: Ilze met Oskars by the gingerbread stand.
Lv: "Čau, Ilze," viņš teica ar smaidu.
En: "Hi, Ilze," he said with a smile.
Lv: "Kā iet?
En: "How's it going?"
Lv: " Viņa atbildēja ar īsu smaidu.
En: She replied with a brief smile.
Lv: "Labi.
En: "Good.
Lv: Esmu bijusi aizņemta.
En: I've been busy."
Lv: "Ilze juta, ka Oskars gribēja ko vairāk uzzināt.
En: Ilze felt that Oskars wanted to know more.
Lv: Viņa saprata, ka šī bija viņas iespēja.
En: She realized this was her chance.
Lv: "Man dažreiz liekas, ka esmu prom no jūs visiem," Ilze negaidot izteica.
En: "Sometimes I feel like I'm away from all of you," Ilze unexpectedly said.
Lv: Oskars apstājās un paskatījās uz viņu nopietni.
En: Oskars paused and looked at her seriously.
Lv: "Tas nav taisnība," teica Oskars.
En: "That's not true," said Oskars.
Lv: "Mēs visi tevi mīlam, Ilze.
En: "We all love you, Ilze."
Lv: "Ilze juta asaras acīs.
En: Ilze felt tears in her eyes.
Lv: "Es vienmēr baidos, ka jūs mani nesapratīsiet," viņa teica.
En: "I'm always afraid that you won't understand me," she said.
Lv: "Darbā man iet labi, bet ģimenē.
En: "Work is going well, but in the family...
Lv: es neesmu tik pārliecināta.
En: I'm not so sure."
Lv: "Tā viņi tur stāvēja, runājot par visu un neko, kamēr apkārt ļaudis baudīja Ziemassvētku brīnumu.
En: They stood there, talking about everything and nothing, while around them people enjoyed the Ziemassvētku miracle.
Lv: Gaismas virs galvām mirdzēja kā zvaigznes, un Ilze juta, kā no viņas pleciem nokrīt neredzams svars.
En: The lights above their heads sparkled like stars, and Ilze felt an invisible weight lift from her shoulders.
Lv: Vēlāk, kad viss noslēdzās un cilvēki sāka doties mājup, Ilze atrada sevi starp Martu un Oskaru.
En: Later, when everything wrapped up
