Story Transcript:
Lv: Krasni mirkļi senajās Rīgas ielās
En: Beautiful Moments on the Old Streets of Rīga
Lv: Tas bija auksts februāra rīts.
En: It was a cold February morning.
Lv: Zeme bija klāta ar svaigi uzkritis sniegu.
En: The ground was covered with freshly fallen snow.
Lv: Vecpilsētas šaurās ielas izskatījās pasakaini.
En: The narrow streets of the old town looked magical.
Lv: Jānis un Ieva gāja pa ielu uz skolu.
En: Jānis and Ieva were walking down the street to school.
Lv: Abi vilkušies vilnas šallēs.
En: Both wrapped in wool scarves.
Lv: Mazu mirdzošu veikalu logi spīdēja kā Ziemassvētku lampiņas.
En: The small sparkling shop windows shone like Christmas lights.
Lv: Diena bija īpaša – Valentīndiena, un arī eksāmena diena.
En: The day was special—Valentine's Day, and also exam day.
Lv: Jānis juta sirdi uztriecamies.
En: Jānis felt his heart racing.
Lv: Viņa bija talantīgs skolnieks, bet liela zinātnieka sirsniņa pie Jāņa bija Ieva.
En: He was a talented student, but the heart of a great scholar belonged to Jānis for Ieva.
Lv: Viņš gribēja viņai pateikt, ko jūt, bet bija bailīgs.
En: He wanted to tell her how he felt, but he was timid.
Lv: "Gatavojies eksāmenam?" Ieva jautāja, kad abi gāja pa ielu.
En: "Are you ready for the exam?" Ieva asked as they walked down the street.
Lv: Viņas balss bija silta un uzmundrinoša.
En: Her voice was warm and encouraging.
Lv: Jānis smaidīja, lai gan prāts skrēja citur.
En: Jānis smiled, even though his mind was elsewhere.
Lv: "Jā, es domāju, ka būs labi," viņš saņēmis.
En: "Yes, I think it will be fine," he managed.
Lv: Viņi kopā bija pavadījuši daudz laika, mācoties un sarunājoties.
En: They had spent a lot of time together, studying and talking.
Lv: Ieva bija draudzīga un atvērta.
En: Ieva was friendly and open.
Lv: Jānis juta, ka šodien ir īstā diena.
En: Jānis felt that today was the right day.
Lv: "Saki, Ieva," Jānis teica, apstādinot viņu starp skaistajām, vecmodīgajām mājām.
En: "Say, Ieva," Jānis said, stopping her between the beautiful, old-fashioned houses.
Lv: "Es gribu tev kaut ko pateikt."
En: "I want to tell you something."
Lv: Ieva apstājās un skatījās viņam acīs.
En: Ieva stopped and looked him in the eyes.
Lv: Viņas smaids lika Jāņa vaigiem pulsēt.
En: Her smile made Jānis' cheeks tingle.
Lv: "Es jau kādu laiku jūtos... es jūtos..." viņš vilcinājās.
En: "I have been feeling for some time... I feel..." he hesitated.
Lv: "Es tevi ļoti cienu un gribu, lai tu zini, ka man esi īpaša."
En: "I respect you a lot and want you to know that you are special to me."
Lv: Ieva smaidīja vēl plašāk.
En: Ieva smiled even wider.
Lv: "Jāni, man tas ir ļoti svarīgi.
En: "Jānis, that means a lot to me.
Lv: Arī tu man esi īpašs," viņa sacīja sirsnīgi.
En: You are special to me too," she said sincerely.
Lv: Jāņa sirds piepildījās ar prieku.
En: Jānis' heart filled with joy.
Lv: Viņa drosme netika veltīga.
En: His courage was not wasted.
Lv: Ieva turpināja: "Ejot eksāmenā, mēs to darīsim kopā.
En: Ieva continued, "As we go to the exam, we'll do it together.
Lv: Tas viss būs labi."
En: Everything will be fine."
Lv: Kopā viņi devās tālāk, klusām čalo
