Hr: Dok je Filip hodao Stradunom, osjećao je miris pečenih kestena u zraku.

Hr: Blagdanski ugođaj ispunjavao je Dubrovnik Starim Gradom.

En: While Filip walked down the crowded street, he recognized a familiar face.
Hr: Anamarija, poznata blogerica, držala je kameru u ruci i fotografirala blagdanske prizore.

En: he shouted, recognizing her from some local events.
Hr: "Što te dovodi ovamo?
En: "What brings you here?"
Hr: "Anamarija se nasmijala, "Vrijeme je adventa, naravno!
En: Anamarija laughed, "It's advent time, of course!
Hr: Pišem članak o festivalu.
En: I'm writing an article about the festival."

En: She paused briefly, then continued, "And a little escape from the hustle and bustle.
Hr: Ti, kako si?
En: How about you?"
Hr: "Filip odmahnuo glavom, "Razmišljam o Zagrebu, ali ne želim otići.
En: Filip shook his head, "I'm thinking about Zagreb, but I don't want to leave.
Hr: Smatram da ovdje, u Dubrovniku, imam što pokazati.
En: I feel that I have something to show here, in Dubrovnik.

Hr: "Dok su planirali sve detalje, dogodila se kriza.
En: As they planned all the details, a crisis occurred.
Hr: Na dan događaja, nestalo je struje baš kada su se gosti počeli okupljati.

Hr: Shvatio je nešto važno.
En: He realized something important.
Hr: "Ne moram otići da bih bio uspješan.
En: "I don't have to leave to be successful.
Hr: Mogu stvoriti svoju priču ovdje, u Dubrovniku, s ljudima koje volim.
En: I can create my story here, in Dubrovnik, with the people I love."
Hr: "Kao što je adventsko svjetlo osvijetlilo prastare zidine, tako je Filipu sinula nova perspektiva.
En: As the advent light illuminated the ancient walls, a new perspective dawned on Filip.
Hr: Dubrovnik je bio i ostao njegov dom, mjesto puno mogućnosti i neotkrivenog blaga.
