Story Transcript:
Sl: Vetrovna pomlad se je prebujala ob Blejskem jezeru.
En: The windy spring was awakening by Blejsko jezero (Lake Bled).
Sl: Sneg na okoliških Julijskih Alpah se je počasi topil, in hladne vetrovke so napovedovale novo leto.
En: The snow on the surrounding Julijske Alpe (Julian Alps) was slowly melting, and the cold breeze heralded the new year.
Sl: Lokalni prebivalci so se zbrali za Kurentovanje, tradicionalni festival, ki prinaša konec zime.
En: Local residents gathered for Kurentovanje, a traditional festival that marks the end of winter.
Sl: Na jezerni obali je stalo veliko ljudi, ki so se pripravljali na spuščanje papirnatih ladjic, vsaka z upanjem in željo za prihodnost.
En: On the lakeshore, many people were preparing to launch paper boats, each with a hope and wish for the future.
Sl: Mateja je stala ob vodi in gledala vse te barvite ladjice.
En: Mateja stood by the water, watching all these colorful boats.
Sl: Želela je, da bi njena želja bila enako jasna kot modra voda jezera.
En: She wished for her desire to be as clear as the blue water of the lake.
Sl: Mateja je že nekaj časa občutila, da se je zataknila.
En: Mateja had been feeling stuck for some time.
Sl: Njena služba je bila varna, toda vsak dan se je spraševala, če je to res to, kar si želi do konca življenja.
En: Her job was secure, but every day she questioned if this was truly what she wanted for the rest of her life.
Sl: "Mateja!
En: "Mateja!"
Sl: " je zaklical njen stari prijatelj Andrej, ki se je ravnokar vrnil v vas po letih potovanj kot umetnik.
En: called her old friend Andrej, who had just returned to the village after years of traveling as an artist.
Sl: "Kako si?
En: "How are you?"
Sl: " njegove iskrive oči so žarele od ustvarjalne strasti.
En: His sparkling eyes shone with creative passion.
Sl: Njegova izkušnja potovanj je bila polna zgodb in Mateja je bila vesela, da ga vidi.
En: His travel experience was full of stories, and Mateja was happy to see him.
Sl: Andrej je izžareval samozavest, ki se je rodila iz izpolnjevanja svojih sanj.
En: Andrej exuded the confidence born from fulfilling his dreams.
Sl: "Razmišljam," je priznala.
En: "I've been thinking," she admitted.
Sl: "Stara služba me ne osrečuje več.
En: "My old job doesn't make me happy anymore."
Sl: "Andrej jo je pogledal z razumevanjem, "Zame je bila pot do umetnosti strašljiva," je dejal.
En: Andrej looked at her with understanding, "For me, the path to art was scary," he said.
Sl: "A nikoli se nisem ozrl nazaj.
En: "But I never looked back.
Sl: Imaš veliko talentov, Mateja.
En: You have a lot of talents, Mateja.
Sl: Zakaj jih ne bi izkoristila?
En: Why not make use of them?"
Sl: "Pridružila se jima je Živa, Matejina mlajša sestra.
En: They were joined by Živa, Mateja's younger sister.
Sl: Njene oči so bile polne prepričanja in čarobnosti festivala.
En: Her eyes were full of the conviction and magic of the festival.
Sl: "Mateja, danes je tvoj dan.
En: "Mateja, today is your day.
Sl: Spusti ladjico in si nekaj zaželi.
En: Launch the boat and make a wish.
Sl: Morda boš našla odgovor.
En: Maybe you'll find the answer."
Sl: "Mateja je pogledala papirnato ladjico v svojih rokah.
En: Mateja looked at the paper boat in her hands.
Sl: Njena želja je bila preprosta: jasnost o prihodnosti in pogum, da sledi svoji strasti.
En: Her wish was simple: clarity about the future and the courage to follow her passion.
Sl: Ko je s prsti rahlo potisnila ladjico na gladino jezera, se je ustavila ob Andrejevih besedah.
En: As she gently pushed the boat onto the lake's surface with her fingers, she paused at Andrej's words.
Sl: "Če lahko uspem jaz, lahko tudi ti," jo je bodril.
En: "If I can succeed, so can you," he encouraged her.
Sl: Beli oblaki so se razmaknili, razkrivajoč modro nebo, ko je valje opazila, da je njena ladjica zaplula stran.
En: The white clouds parted, revealing the blue sky, as she noticed her boat sailing away.
Sl: S tem majhnim dejanjem je sprejela odločitev, da začne novo poglavje.
En: With this small act, she made the decision to begin a new chapter.
Sl: Ne bo več stala ob strani.
En: She would no longer stand on the sidelines.
Sl: Začela bo izkoristiti svoj ustvarjalni potencial, ne glede na tveganja.
En: She would start utilizing her creative potential, regardless of the risks.
Sl: Ko so se ladjice zibale po jezeru, je Mateja začutila, kako ji je neviden tovor zdrsnil z ramen.
En: As the boats drifted on the lake, Mateja felt an invisible burden slip from her shoulders.
Sl: Prišel je trenutek, da zaživi kot si želi, osvobojena strahu pred neznanim.
En: The moment had come to live as she wished, free from the fear of the unknown.
Sl: Ravno takrat je majhen kanček poguma preplavil njeno srce.
En: Just then, a little spark of courage filled her heart.
Sl: Kurenti so odganjali zimo, in s tem tudi dvome iz Matejinega srca.
En: The Kurenti were chasing away winter, and with it, doubts from Mateja's heart.
Sl: Njena prihodnost se je začela zdaj, na obali Blejskega jezera.
En: Her future began now, on the shore of Blejsko jezero.
Sl: V objemu barvitih ladjic je našla svojo moč in odločnost.
En: In the embrace of colorful boats, she found her strength and determination.
Sl: Mateja je našla pot po valovih neznanih voda, z upanjem, da doseže obalo, ki si jo je vedno želela.
En: Mateja found her way through the waves of uncharted waters, with the hope of reaching the shore she had always dreamed of.
