Story Transcript:
Sl: Matej je stal na robu zamrznjenega ribnika v Tivoliju.
En: Matej stood on the edge of the frozen pond in Tivoli.
Sl: Njegov pogled je begal po zasneženem parku, kjer so visoka, bela drevesa rahlo brnela na zimskem vetru.
En: His gaze wandered over the snowy park, where the tall, white trees slightly rustled in the winter wind.
Sl: Bil je zadnji večer v letu in ljudi je bilo malo.
En: It was the last evening of the year, and there were few people around.
Sl: Večina Ljubljančanov se je pripravljala na novoletno slavje doma ali v mestu.
En: Most residents of Ljubljana were preparing for New Year's celebrations at home or in the city.
Sl: Toda Matej se je odločil drugače.
En: However, Matej decided differently.
Sl: Njegovi spomini so ga vodili nazaj, k času, ko je kot mladenič zmrzoval prste na Tivolijevem ribniku in se smejal do solz z dvema najboljšima prijateljicama, Tino in Katarino.
En: His memories led him back to a time when he, as a young man, would freeze his fingers on the Tivoli pond and laugh to tears with his two best friends, Tina and Katarina.
Sl: Danes, po letih oddaljenosti, so se znova srečali.
En: Today, after years of distance, they reunited.
Sl: "Matej! Pridi gor!" je zaklicala Tina.
En: "Matej! Come over here!" called Tina.
Sl: Njena gladka linija drsanja je bila brezhibna.
En: Her smooth skating line was flawless.
Sl: Katarina se ji je hitro pridružila in skupaj sta zavihali po površini zamrznjenega ribnika, smeh jima je ušel v zimski zrak.
En: Katarina quickly joined her, and together they twirled across the surface of the frozen pond, their laughter escaping into the winter air.
Sl: Matej je zamahnil z roko, pozdravil stare prijateljice in previdno stopil na led.
En: Matej waved his hand, greeted his old friends, and cautiously stepped onto the ice.
Sl: Skozi let so spomini postajali preteklost, vsak zamah s nogo pa ga je popeljal bližje k občutkom lahkotnosti in svobode, ki jih je pogrešal.
En: Over the years, memories were becoming history, but every stride brought him closer to the feelings of lightness and freedom he missed.
Sl: Medtem ko je drsal, so mu misli begale k preteklosti.
En: As he skated, his thoughts drifted to the past.
Sl: Bil je nekoč fant, ki je sanjal o visokih stvareh, ki so zdaj izgubljene v vsakodnevnih izzivih razvijalca programske opreme.
En: He was once a boy who dreamed of lofty things now lost in the everyday challenges of a software developer.
Sl: Njegovo življenje je postalo enolično.
En: His life had become monotonous.
Sl: Katarina, ki je zaznala njegov oddaljen nasmeh, ga je nenadoma izzvala: "Matej, tekmujva! Kdo zmaga do drevesa?"
En: Noticing his distant smile, Katarina suddenly challenged him: "Matej, let's race! Who can reach the tree first?"
Sl: In v tistem trenutku je bil spet najstnik.
En: And in that moment, he was a teenager again.
Sl: Zavrtel se je, kot bi mu duh preteklosti dal krila.
En: He spun around as if the spirit of the past gave him wings.
Sl: Kate in Tina sta hiteli naprej, medtem ko je Matej lovil veter, smeh mu je plesal na ustnicah.
En: Kate and Tina were racing ahead while Matej chased the wind, laughter dancing on his lips.
Sl: "Ti kar misliš, da me lahko premagata!" je klical in zdrvel na vse kriplje.
En: "You think you can beat me!" he shouted, darting forward with all his might.
Sl: Smučal je mimo njih, občutek svobode ga je napolnjeval z vsakim drsajem.
En: He skated past them, a sense of freedom filling him with every stride.
Sl: Zadihan in zadovoljen se je ustavil pri drevesu, ki je obrobljalo rob ribnika.
En: Breathless and satisfied, he stopped at the tree that bordered the pond.
Sl: Dvignil je roke visoko v zrak: "Zmaga!"
En: He raised his arms high in the air: "Victory!"
Sl: Tina in Katarina sta mu sledili, njegova energija ju je navduševala.
En: Tina and Katarina followed, his energy thrilling them.
Sl: Pozno zvečer, ko so sedeli na klopi, oblečeni v tople odeje, je Mateja premagala misel: "Morda ni vse izgubljeno.
En: Late in the evening, as they sat on a bench wrapped in warm blankets, Matej was overcome by a thought: "Perhaps not everything is lost.
Sl: Morda lahko najdem veselje v majhnih stvareh."
En: Perhaps I can find joy in small things."
Sl: Odločil se je, da bo v svojem življenju poiskal nove poti, ki ga bodo spet napolnile z življenjem in energijo.
En: He decided to seek new paths in his life that would once again fill him with life and energy.
Sl: Tako, medtem ko so bele snežinke padale in se na nebu nad Ljubljano začele prižigati prve iskre, je Matej začutil nenavadno čisto srečo.
En: So, as white snowflakes fell and the first sparks lit up the sky above Ljubljana, Matej felt an unusual pure happiness.
Sl: Novo leto je bilo pred njim, a zdaj s svežim pogledom.
En: The new year lay ahead, but now with a fresh perspective.
Sl: Matej je vedel, da je trenutek na ledu pravzaprav začetek nove poti, poti k boljšemu in srečnejšemu življenju.
En: Matej knew that the moment on the ice was truly the beginning of a new journey, a path to a better and happier life.
Sl: drevesa. Včasih je majhna zimska igra vse, kar potrebujemo, da se spomnimo, kdo pravzaprav smo.
En: Sometimes a small winter game is all we need to remember who we truly are.
