Story Transcript:
Sl: Snežinke so nežno padale na strehe internata in ga zavijale v belo odejo.
En: The snowflakes gently fell on the roofs of the dormitory, wrapping it in a white blanket.
Sl: Solkanski internat ob reki Soči je bil videti kot pravljična dežela.
En: The Solkanski internat by the reka Soči looked like a fairyland.
Sl: Vsi smo bili navdušeni zaradi zimskega kulturnega festivala, ki se je bližal.
En: We were all excited about the upcoming winter cultural festival.
Sl: Bila sem Mateja, vodilna oseba v tem projektu, in imela sem posebno vlogo — prikazati svojo dramsko igro.
En: I was Mateja, the leading person in this project, and I had a special role — to present my play.
Sl: Stisnila sem scenarij v roke, ko sem opazila Rok in Nino na hodniku.
En: I clutched the script in my hands when I noticed Rok and Nina in the hallway.
Sl: Rok je bil vedno poln energije in idej, prava srca skupine.
En: Rok was always full of energy and ideas, truly the heart of the group.
Sl: "Hej, Mateja," je rekel, "si pripravljena na festival?"
En: "Hey, Mateja," he said, "are you ready for the festival?"
Sl: "Nekaj me skrbi," sem odgovorila.
En: "I'm worried about something," I replied.
Sl: "Slišala sem, da bi lahko snežni metež ustavil vse prevoze.
En: "I heard that a snowstorm might stop all the transport.
Sl: Morda bodo odpovedali dogodek."
En: They might cancel the event."
Sl: Nina je tiho pristopila.
En: Nina quietly approached.
Sl: "To bi bilo grozno," je zamrmrala.
En: "That would be terrible," she murmured.
Sl: Bila je izjemna violinistka, a še vedno ni pokazala svoje glasbe pred vsemi.
En: She was an exceptional violinist, but she still hadn't performed her music in front of everyone.
Sl: Zaupala je samo meni in Roku, ker smo že dolgo prijatelji.
En: She trusted only Rok and me because we had been friends for a long time.
Sl: Rok je takoj stopil v akcijo.
En: Rok immediately sprang into action.
Sl: "Ne smemo dopustiti, da nas nekaj snega ustavi.
En: "We can't let a little snow stop us.
Sl: Kaj če bi festival izpeljali kar tu, pod streho?"
En: What if we held the festival right here, under the roof?"
Sl: "V naši skupni sobi?" sem se vprašala.
En: "In our common room?" I wondered.
Sl: Pogledala sem okolico; velika dvorana bi lahko sprejela večino učencev in učiteljev.
En: I looked around; the large hall could accommodate most of the students and teachers.
Sl: "Zakaj pa ne?" Je odgovoril Rok z zagnanostjo.
En: "Why not?" Rok replied enthusiastically.
Sl: "Če nam uspe, lahko pokažemo, da smo odgovorni in sposobni."
En: "If we succeed, we can show that we are responsible and capable."
Sl: Strinjali smo se in odšli k ravnatelju s predlogom.
En: We agreed and went to the principal with the proposal.
Sl: Povedala sem mu o načrtu za dvorano in zdelo se je, da ga je navdušenje prevzelo.
En: I told him about the plan for the hall, and it seemed that the excitement caught him.
Sl: "Če uspete organizirati vse, bomo festival izvedli," je dejal.
En: "If you manage to organize everything, we will hold the festival," he said.
Sl: "Ampak pohitite!"
En: "But hurry!"
Sl: V tistih urah, ko je zunaj snežilo, smo Rok, Nina in jaz hitro pripravili dvorano.
En: During those hours when it was snowing outside, Rok, Nina, and I quickly prepared the hall.
Sl: Naša oprema je bila skromna, vendar smo poznali moč pravega duha.
En: Our equipment was modest, but we knew the power of true spirit.
Sl: Zvočnike smo postavili ob stene, stole zložili v kroge, postavili oder iz miz.
En: We set up speakers by the walls, arranged chairs in circles, and built a stage out of tables.
Sl: Ko se je festivalska ura bližala, so začeli prihajati učenci.
En: As the festival hour approached, students started to arrive.
Sl: Dvorana je bila polna veselja, smeha in pričakovanja.
En: The hall was full of joy, laughter, and anticipation.
Sl: Ko je Nina začela igrati na violino, so vsi prisluhnili melodiji, ki je prenašala toplino sredi zime.
En: When Nina began to play the violin, everyone listened to the melody that conveyed warmth in the midst of winter.
Sl: Napočil je čas za mojo igro.
En: The time for my play had come.
Sl: Srce mi je šlo hitro, vendar sem slišala Rokov glas: "Tvoja priložnost je tu."
En: My heart raced, but I heard Rok's voice: "Your opportunity is here."
Sl: Ko sem stopila na oder, je poln dvorane utihnil.
En: As I stepped onto the stage, the full hall fell silent.
Sl: Vsaka beseda, vsak premik, se je zdelo, da je ujel njihovo pozornost.
En: Every word, every movement seemed to capture their attention.
Sl: Na koncu je sledil velik aplavz.
En: In the end, there was a big round of applause.
Sl: Gledala sem, kako so moji prijatelji stali ob meni — Rok in Nina sta bila z mano skozi vse.
En: I watched as my friends stood by me — Rok and Nina were with me through it all.
Sl: Uspelo nam je.
En: We did it.
Sl: Festival je postal dogodek, o katerem se bodo še dolgo pripovedovale zgodbe.
En: The festival became an event that stories would be told about for a long time.
Sl: Naučili smo se verjeti vase in svojih talentih.
En: We learned to believe in ourselves and our talents.
Sl: Jaz sem postala bolj samozavestna pisateljica, Rok je pokazal zrelost pravega vodje, Nina pa je končno premagala svojo sramežljivost pred množico.
En: I became a more confident writer, Rok showed the maturity of a true leader, and Nina finally overcame her shyness in front of the crowd.
Sl: Ko sem ponoči legla k počitku, sem slišala tiho škripanje snega.
En: When I lay down to rest at night, I heard the quiet creaking of snow.
Sl: Internat je bil miren.
En: The dormitory was calm.
Sl: Vedela sem, da smo dobili nekaj več kot le festival, pridobili smo prijateljstvo in vero v skupno moč.
En: I knew that we had gained more than just a festival; we had gained friendship and faith in collective strength.
