Story Transcript:
Sk: Na hradnom nádvorí, kde sa vlnili pestré stany a znejúce zvony oznamovali začiatok Veľkonočného festivalu, sa zhromaždili obyvatelia stredovekého mestečka.
En: In the castle courtyard where colorful tents swayed and ringing bells announced the start of the Easter festival, the residents of the medieval town gathered.
Sk: Vôňa čerstvo upečeného chleba a veselé melódie hrali vo vzduchu, zatiaľ čo slnečné lúče tancovali na hladine starého kamenného fontánu, ozdobeného jarnými kvetmi.
En: The smell of freshly baked bread and joyful melodies played in the air while sunbeams danced on the surface of the old stone fountain adorned with spring flowers.
Sk: Marek, mladý kováč s očami plnými snov, nervózne sa pretĺkal medzi davom ľudí.
En: Marek, a young blacksmith with eyes full of dreams, nervously threaded his way through the crowd.
Sk: V srdci nosil túžbu spojiť sa s niekým, kto by zdieľal jeho zanietenie pre tvorivosť.
En: In his heart, he carried the desire to connect with someone who would share his passion for creativity.
Sk: Nesmel sa však odvahu pozrieť sa Janiným smerom.
En: However, he could not gather the courage to look Jana's way.
Sk: Rozprávači tvrdili, že Jana bola najveselšia bytosť v celej dedine.
En: Storytellers claimed that Jana was the merriest being in the entire village.
Sk: Jej pestrofarebné výrobky rozjasnili každý festival.
En: Her colorful creations brightened every festival.
Sk: Lucia, ich spoločná priateľka, ktorá mala neodolateľnú slabosť pre spojovanie ľudí, ho pozorovala z diaľky.
En: Lucia, their mutual friend, who had an irresistible knack for bringing people together, watched him from a distance.
Sk: Pochopila jeho boj a priblížila sa k nemu so súcitným úsmevom.
En: She understood his struggle and approached him with a sympathetic smile.
Sk: "Marek, musíme nájsť správny čas.
En: "Marek, we need to find the right moment.
Sk: Keď bude trochu pokojnejšie, zoznámim ťa s Jankou," uistila ho.
En: When it's a bit quieter, I'll introduce you to Jana," she assured him.
Sk: Minúty plynuli, hudba sa menila a ruch slávnosti sa trochu utíšil, keď Lucia vykročila ku Janke, ktorá práve skončila so zavesením posledných girland na stenu blízko fontány.
En: Minutes passed, the music changed, and the bustle of the festival calmed slightly when Lucia stepped towards Jana, who had just finished hanging the last garlands on the wall near the fountain.
Sk: "Jana, toto je Marek. Talentovaný kováč, ktorý robí krásne veci.
En: "Jana, this is Marek, a talented blacksmith who makes beautiful things.
Sk: Mohli by ste si porozumieť," veselo povedala Lucia a usmiala sa na oboch.
En: You two might get along," Lucia cheerfully said, smiling at both of them.
Sk: Jana premerala Mareka zvedavým pohľadom, keď on, trochu červenajúci, ponúkol svoju pomoc pri dekoráciách.
En: Jana gave Marek a curious look as he, slightly blushing, offered his help with the decorations.
Sk: "Mám nápad," povedal Marek.
En: "I have an idea," Marek said.
Sk: "Môžem ti ukázať niečo špeciálne." Zahľadelo sa na kamenný roh fontány, kde zrazu pracoval s kúskom kovu, ktorého tvaroval, ohýbal a kuť.
En: "I can show you something special." He focused on the stone corner of the fountain, where he suddenly worked with a piece of metal, shaping, bending, and forging it.
Sk: Diváci zastali, očarení jeho umením.
En: Spectators stopped, captivated by his craft.
Sk: Za krátky čas stál pred nimi maličký, vkusný kovový ornament.
En: In a short time, there stood a tiny, tasteful metal ornament.
Sk: Nebola to len ozdoba, ale symbol jeho zručnosti a odhodlania.
En: It was not just a decoration but a symbol of his skill and determination.
Sk: Jana so zaujatím pokývla hlavou, očarená jeho darmi.
En: Jana, intrigued, nodded in appreciation of his gifts.
Sk: "To je nádherné, Marek," odpovedala s úprimným ocenením.
En: "That's wonderful, Marek," she replied with sincere admiration.
Sk: "Rada by som ťa videla zajtra, ak budeš mať čas."
En: "I’d love to see you tomorrow if you have time."
Sk: Keď festival pokračoval, Marek cítil, že jeho vnútro naberá na sebavedomí.
En: As the festival continued, Marek felt his inner confidence grow.
Sk: Uvedomil si, že otvorenosť a odvaha skúsiť novú cestu boli rovnako dôležité ako jeho remeslo.
En: He realized that openness and the courage to try a new path were as important as his craft.
Sk: Lucia spokojne sledovala, ako jej plán vyústil k niečomu krásnemu.
En: Lucia watched contentedly as her plan led to something beautiful.
Sk: Marek a Jana sa usmievali, pochopiac, že ich spojili nie len tradície, ale aj spoločná túžba tvoriť a dôverovať.
En: Marek and Jana smiled, understanding that they were united not only by traditions but also by a shared desire to create and trust.
Sk: Tak sa na Veľkonočnom festivale neoslavala len jar, ale aj nádej a nové začiatky.
En: Thus, the Easter festival celebrated not only spring but also hope and new beginnings.
