Story Transcript:
Sl: Miha je stopal po tlakovani poti proti Ljubljanskemu gradu.
En: Miha walked along the paved path towards Ljubljanskemu gradu.
Sl: Bilo je pozno spomladi, ko se je zrak napolnil z vonjem cvetlic, ki so cvetele okoli grajskih zidov.
En: It was late spring when the air was filled with the scent of flowers blooming around the castle walls.
Sl: Nebo je počasi prehajalo iz svetlo modre v toplo oranžno, kar je napovedovalo čudovit sončni zahod.
En: The sky was slowly transitioning from light blue to warm orange, heralding a beautiful sunset.
Sl: Tina in Gregor sta krokala za njim.
En: Tina and Gregor were chatting behind him.
Sl: Tina je bila navdušena nad razgledom, medtem ko je Gregor preračunaval, koliko časa potrebujejo, da osvojijo vrh stolpa.
En: Tina was thrilled by the view, while Gregor was calculating how much time they needed to conquer the top of the tower.
Sl: Miha pa je hodil v tihoti, zamaknjen v svoje misli.
En: Miha walked in silence, lost in his thoughts.
Sl: Pred kratkim se je moral odločiti glede spremembe v svoji karieri, zaradi česar je bil negotov in zamišljen.
En: Recently, he had to make a decision about a change in his career, which made him uncertain and pensive.
Sl: "Miha, poglej te čudovite cvetlice," je rekla Tina, prekinivši njegov tok misli.
En: "Miha, look at these beautiful flowers," Tina said, interrupting his train of thought.
Sl: "Videti so kot živi šopek.
En: "They look like a living bouquet."
Sl: "Miha se je nasmehnil in pokimal.
En: Miha smiled and nodded.
Sl: Bilo je nekaj pomirjujočega v naravi, kar je obljubljalo mir in jasnost.
En: There was something soothing in nature, promising peace and clarity.
Sl: Toda njegova notranja borba se je nadaljevala.
En: Yet his internal struggle continued.
Sl: Bil je razpet med varnostjo znanega in nevarnostjo neznanega.
En: He was torn between the safety of the known and the risk of the unknown.
Sl: Ko so končno prispeli do vrha stolpa, je bil Miha prežet z globokim občutkom lepote.
En: When they finally reached the top of the tower, Miha was filled with a profound sense of beauty.
Sl: Sonce je nežno upadalo za obzorje, Ljubljana pa je bila spodaj kot pisan tapiserij.
En: The sun was gently setting beyond the horizon, and Ljubljana below was like a colorful tapestry.
Sl: Nekje globoko v sebi je začutil, kako izginja njegov strah.
En: Somewhere deep inside, he felt his fear fading away.
Sl: "Ne bom več okleval," si je zašepetal.
En: "I will hesitate no more," he whispered to himself.
Sl: Sprejel je odločitev, da zaupa svojim instinktom.
En: He made the decision to trust his instincts.
Sl: Čas je bil, da izbere tisto, kar ga je osrečilo.
En: It was time to choose what made him happy.
Sl: Ko so se odpravili nazaj po stopnicah, je Miha v sebi nosil nov občutek odločnosti.
En: As they headed back down the stairs, Miha carried with him a new sense of determination.
Sl: Njegova negotovost je bila zamenjana s samozavestjo.
En: His uncertainty had been replaced with confidence.
Sl: Pripravljal se je na prihodnost z odprtim srcem in umom, pripravljen sprejeti vse, kar mu bo življenje prineslo.
En: He was preparing for the future with an open heart and mind, ready to embrace whatever life brought his way.
Sl: Tiho si je mislil, kako mu je dan povsem razblinil dvome.
En: He silently thought about how the day had completely dispelled his doubts.
Sl: Grajski stolp in sončni zahod sta mu podarila novo perspektivo.
En: The castle tower and the sunset had given him a new perspective.
Sl: Miha je zdaj vedel, da se bo moral večkrat povzpeti na to mesto miru, ko bo potreboval navdih.
En: Miha now knew that he would need to climb this place of peace more often whenever he needed inspiration.
Sl: Njegovi prijatelji so opazili spremembo v njegovem vedenju.
En: His friends noticed the change in his demeanor.
Sl: Gregor je rekel: "Si videl, kako se je svetloba spreminjala?
En: Gregor said, "Did you see how the light changed?
Sl: Čarobno, kajne?
En: Magical, wasn't it?"
Sl: ""Ja," je odgovoril Miha.
En: "Yes," Miha replied.
Sl: "In včasih je potrebno samo malo svetlobe, da vse postane jasno.
En: "And sometimes, all it takes is a little light to make everything clear."

Story Transcript:
Sl: Prašen vetrič je pihal med ruševinami ljubljanske tržnice.
En: A dusty breeze blew through the ruins of the ljubljanske market.
Sl: Tržnica je bila zasilna konstrukcija, kjer so preživeli trgovali z dobrinami med odmevi preteklosti.
En: The market was a makeshift structure where survivors traded goods amidst the echoes of the past.
Sl: Bilo je pozno pomladansko popoldne, ko se je Gregor previdno prebijal med stojnicami.
En: It was a late spring afternoon when Gregor cautiously made his way through the stalls.
Sl: Vse, kar je iskal, je bilo zdravilo za bolno sestro.
En: All he was searching for was medicine for his sick sister.
Sl: Gregor je bil iznajdljiv preživelec, ki je skrbno skrival svojo pravo potrebo.
En: Gregor was a resourceful survivor who carefully hid his true need.
Sl: Nosil je staro kožno torbo, v kateri je imel le nekaj predmetov za barantanje.
En: He carried an old leather bag, in which he had only a few items for bargaining.
Sl: Njegov največji zaklad je bil družinski dedek, star prst, ki je prešel že tri generacije.
En: His greatest treasure was a family heirloom, an old ring that had passed through three generations.
Sl: Ob stojnici z različnimi medikamenti je stala Nina.
En: By a stall with various medications stood Nina.
Sl: Bila je odlična iskalka dragocenih predmetov in je dobro vedela, kako pridobiti največ iz svojih trgovanj.
En: She was an excellent seeker of valuable items and knew well how to get the most from her trades.
Sl: Skrbno je pazila na svoje predmete, njene oči pa so kazale skrito željo po družbi.
En: She carefully watched over her items, while her eyes revealed a hidden desire for companionship.
Sl: Nenavadna mešanica odločnosti in osamljenosti.
En: An unusual mix of determination and loneliness.
Sl: Gregor je previdno pristopil.
En: Gregor approached cautiously.
Sl: "Dober dan, Nina," je rekel tiho.
En: "Good day, Nina," he said quietly.
Sl: "Iščem nekaj posebnega."
En: "I'm looking for something special."
Sl: Nina je dvignila obrv.
En: Nina raised an eyebrow.
Sl: "Zdravilo? Kar nekaj na zalogi.
En: "Medicine? I have some in stock.
Sl: Ampak ne grem poceni."
En: But I don’t go cheap."
Sl: "Nimam veliko," je Gregor priznal in pokazal svojo torbo.
En: "I don't have much," Gregor admitted, showing his bag.
Sl: "Ampak imam nekaj res posebnega."
En: "But I have something really special."
Sl: Nina je pogledala prstan.
En: Nina looked at the ring.
Sl: Prstan je bil zlat, z drobnimi vgraviranimi vzorci.
En: The ring was gold, with fine engraved patterns.
Sl: Stara umetnost.
En: Old craftsmanship.
Sl: "Hm," je rekla, "kaj ti pomeni ta prstan?"
En: "Hmm," she said, "what does this ring mean to you?"
Sl: "Vse," je odgovoril Gregor, njegovo srce je trepetalo.
En: "Everything," Gregor responded, his heart trembling.
Sl: "Ampak brez zdravila..."
En: "But without the medicine..."
Sl: Napetost med njima je naraščala.
En: The tension between them grew.
Sl: Nina je razumela, kaj pomeni žrtvovati nekaj dragocenega.
En: Nina understood what it meant to sacrifice something precious.
Sl: Bila je sama na tem krutem svetu in ni vedela, komu lahko zaupa.
En: She was alone in this harsh world and didn't know whom she could trust.
Sl: "Gregor," je končno rekla.
En: "Gregor," she finally said.
Sl: "Dala ti bom malo zdravila za ta prstan.
En: "I’ll give you a little medicine for that ring.
Sl: In... mogoče bova lahko še kdaj trgovala."
En: And... maybe we can trade again sometime."
Sl: Gregor je čutil olajšanje, a tudi novo razumevanje.
En: Gregor felt relief, but also a new understanding.
Sl: "Hvala, Nina," je rekel in s tem sklenil dogovor.
En: "Thank you, Nina," he said, sealing the deal.
Sl: Začelo je deževati.
En: It started to rain.
Sl: Prah se je zmočil, razblinil.
En: The dust got wet, dissipating.
Sl: Medtem ko je Gregor hitro stiskal majhen paket z zdravilom, je Nina opazovala dež.
En: While Gregor quickly grasped the small package of medicine, Nina watched the rain.
Sl: Oba sta na nek način presenetila drug drugega.
En: They both surprised each other in a way.
Sl: Gregor se je naučil ceniti ranljivost, medtem ko je Nina odprla vrata možnosti zavezništev na svetu, ki je bil vse prej kot prijazen.
En: Gregor learned to appreciate vulnerability, while Nina opened the door to the possibility of alliances in a world that was anything but kind.
Sl: In medtem ko se je zrak počasi čistil, sta Gregor in Nina začutila rahel, skoraj pozabljen občutek – novo pazljivo obliko zaupanja, v dežju med porušenimi zidovi Ljubljane.
En: And as the air slowly cleared, Gregor and Nina felt a slight, almost forgotten feeling—a new cautious form of trust, in the rain amid the crumbling walls of Ljubljane.

fluentfiction.com/sl/episode/2025-06-06-22-34-02-sl
Story Transcript:
Sl: Pod milim pomladanskim nebom, so se sončni žarki nežno igrali z vodo Blejskega jezera.
En: Under the gentle spring sky, the sun's rays played softly with the waters of Blejsko jezero.
Sl: Luka in Jasmina sta že dolgo načrtovala izlet do Blejskega gradu.
En: Luka and Jasmina had been planning a trip to Blejski grad for a long time.
Sl: Pot je bila obdana z bujnim zelenjem, kjer so cvetlice v polnem razcvetu oznanjale prihod pomladi.
En: The path was surrounded by lush greenery, where flowers in full bloom heralded the arrival of spring.
Sl: Ravno pravšnji čas za pustolovščine in morda še kaj več.
En: It was the perfect time for adventures and perhaps something more.
Sl: Luka je v srcu nosil željo, da bi Jasmini povedal, kar že dolgo čuti.
En: Luka carried the desire in his heart to tell Jasmina what he had been feeling for a long time.
Sl: Bil je prepričan, da je dan danes pravi za ta korak.
En: He was convinced that today was the right day for this step.
Sl: Jazminini previdni komentarji med hojo le še povečajo njegove simpatije do nje.
En: Jasmina's cautious comments during their walk only heightened his fondness for her.
Sl: "Luka, pazi, kamen je spolzek," je opozorila Jasmina.
En: "Luka, watch out, the stone is slippery," Jasmina warned.
Sl: A Luka je kljub temu želel biti pogumen in sproščen.
En: Yet, Luka still wanted to be brave and relaxed.
Sl: Ravno ko je s pogledom poiskal primeren trenutek, da zaupa svoja čustva, je Luka nenadno napačno stopil.
En: Just as he looked for the right moment to share his feelings, Luka mistakenly stepped wrong.
Sl: Njegova noga se je zvila, in čutil je ostro bolečino v gležnju.
En: His foot twisted, and he felt a sharp pain in his ankle.
Sl: Luka je poskušal nasmejati situacijo: "Zares imam 'srečo' pri izbiri trenutkov!"
En: Luka tried to lighten the situation with humor: "I sure have 'great luck' in timing!"
Sl: Jasmina je zavijala z očmi, vendar se je nasmehnila.
En: Jasmina rolled her eyes but smiled.
Sl: "Seveda, pravi pustolovec," je odgovorila.
En: "Of course, a true adventurer," she replied.
Sl: Čeprav sta se ustavila, Luka ni želel prekiniti izleta.
En: Although they had stopped, Luka did not want to interrupt the trip.
Sl: Zdelo se mu je pomembno, da Jasmini nič ne pokvari dneva.
En: It seemed important to him that nothing spoils the day for Jasmina.
Sl: Prepričeval jo je, da bo zdržal bolečino.
En: He assured her he could bear the pain.
Sl: "Glej, gradu sva že blizu," jo je vzpodbujal in se držal za zviti gleženj.
En: "Look, we're already close to the castle," he encouraged her, holding his twisted ankle.
Sl: Ko sta prispela do razgledne točke, je bila bolečina neznosna.
En: When they reached the viewpoint, the pain was unbearable.
Sl: Jasmina je takrat opazila, da Luka resnično trpi.
En: Jasmina then noticed that Luka was truly suffering.
Sl: "Sedi, Luka," mu je ukazovala in iz nahrbtnika izvlekla šal.
En: "Sit, Luka," she instructed and pulled a scarf from her backpack.
Sl: Previdno mu je obvezala gleženj, njen dotik pa je bil nežen in skrben.
En: She carefully bandaged his ankle, her touch gentle and caring.
Sl: Medtem ko mu je pomagala, je Luka pogledal Jasmino v oči.
En: While she helped him, Luka looked into Jasmina's eyes.
Sl: "Jasmina, imam ti nekaj povedati," je začel.
En: "Jasmina, I have something to tell you," he began.
Sl: Njegov glas je bil mehkejši.
En: His voice was softer.
Sl: "Ta dan sem si zamišljal drugače... toda pomembno mi je, da sem tukaj s tabo."
En: "I imagined this day differently... but what's important is that I'm here with you."
Sl: Jasmina se je nasmehnila.
En: Jasmina smiled.
Sl: "Luka, vem.
En: "Luka, I know.
Sl: Včasih načrte spremenijo druge stvari.
En: Sometimes plans change due to other things.
Sl: Ampak to ni pomembno.
En: But that doesn't matter.
Sl: Pomembno je, da si upaš in si odkrit."
En: What's important is that you're brave and honest."
Sl: Oba sta se zasmejala, sprijaznjena z dejstvom, da popolnost ne obstaja.
En: They both laughed, reconciled with the fact that perfection doesn't exist.
Sl: Popolnost je bila v trenutkih, ki sta jih delila.
En: Perfection was in the moments they shared.
Sl: Razgled je bil izjemen, vendar je bil pogled, ki sta mu ga nudila drug drugemu, še lepši.
En: The view was extraordinary, but the look they gave each other was even more beautiful.
Sl: To je bilo tisto, kar je Luka potreboval, da spozna: iskrenost in ranljivost sta močnejši od popoln urejenega načrta.
En: This was what Luka needed to realize: sincerity and vulnerability are stronger than a perfectly arranged plan.
Sl: Na koncu je bil to dan ljubezni, prijateljstva in novih začetkov.
En: In the end, it was a day of love, friendship, and new beginnings.

Story Transcript:
Sl: Nebesa so se nenadoma zatemnila, ko sta Matej in Ana hodila po gozdni poti v Triglavskem narodnem parku.
En: The heavens suddenly darkened as Matej and Ana walked along the forest path in Triglav National Park.
Sl: Vse okoli njiju so se dvigale visoke smreke, korenine so se zapletale po tleh.
En: Tall spruces rose all around them, with roots tangled on the ground.
Sl: Oba sta imela mokre lase in vlažne nahrbtnike.
En: Both had wet hair and damp backpacks.
Sl: Spomladansko vreme v gorah je bilo lahko nepredvidljivo, toda tokrat jih je presenetilo.
En: Spring weather in the mountains could be unpredictable, but this time it caught them by surprise.
Sl: "Hitra nevihta prihaja," je rekla Ana, ko so prve kaplje dežja začele padati.
En: "A quick storm is coming," Ana said as the first raindrops began to fall.
Sl: Njena previdna narava ji je govorila, naj najdeta zatočišče, a Mateju je to bilo izziv.
En: Her cautious nature told her to find shelter, but to Matej, it was a challenge.
Sl: Rad se je postavil pred izzive in premagal naravo.
En: He liked to take on challenges and conquer nature.
Sl: "Vem, pot poznam.
En: "I know, I know the path.
Sl: Ta pot bo hitrejša," je vztrajal Matej.
En: This way will be faster," insisted Matej.
Sl: Njegova samozavest je bila močna, toda megla in dež sta že ovirala vidljivost.
En: His confidence was strong, but the fog and rain were already impairing visibility.
Sl: Ana je z zaskrbljenostjo pogledala naokrog.
En: Ana looked around with concern.
Sl: Njena močna intuicija ji je govorila, da naj ostane na poti.
En: Her strong intuition told her to stay on the path.
Sl: "Raje bi sledila markacijam," je rekla Ana trmasto.
En: "I would rather follow the trail marks," Ana said stubbornly.
Sl: Bila je pozorna na najmanjše spremembe v okolici, vedno je prepoznala znake, ki jih je drugi spregledali.
En: She was attentive to the smallest changes in the surroundings, always recognizing signs that others overlooked.
Sl: Vendar je Matej prepričeval, da zna najti pot.
En: However, Matej persuaded that he could find the way.
Sl: Ana si je globoko vdihnila, pogledala nebo in se odločila, da Mateju zaupa, a obdrži lastno budnost.
En: Ana took a deep breath, looked at the sky, and decided to trust Matej, but kept her own vigilance.
Sl: Hodila sta po ozki, blatni poti, ko je močnejši veter začel pihati.
En: They walked along the narrow, muddy path as a stronger wind began to blow.
Sl: Nenadoma, ko sta prispela na rob pečine, se je Matej ustavil.
En: Suddenly, when they reached the edge of a cliff, Matej stopped.
Sl: Oba sta obstala, ko je grmenje zadonelo nad njihovimi glavami.
En: They both stood still when thunder roared above their heads.
Sl: Poti naprej ni bilo več, le globina pred njima in dež, ki je padal vedno močnejše.
En: There was no path forward, only the depth ahead of them and the increasingly heavy rain.
Sl: "Morava se vrniti," je rekla Ana, njen glas glasno odmeval med treskanjem strele.
En: "We have to go back," Ana said, her voice echoing loudly amidst the crashing thunder.
Sl: Matej jo je pogledal z rahlim obžalovanjem.
En: Matej looked at her with slight regret.
Sl: Zavedal se je, da bi brez njene previdnosti morda oba končala napačno.
En: He realized that without her caution, they might have both ended up wrongly.
Sl: "Prav imaš, Ana.
En: "You're right, Ana.
Sl: Zaupam ti, povedi nazaj," je končno priznal Matej.
En: I trust you, lead us back," Matej finally admitted.
Sl: Ana je previdno začela voditi po poti nazaj, Matej pa je sledil.
En: Ana carefully started leading the way back, with Matej following.
Sl: Dež je kmalu ponehal, in vidnost se je izboljšala.
En: The rain soon stopped, and visibility improved.
Sl: Vrnila sta se k prepoznavnemu drevesu, ki sta ga videla prej.
En: They returned to a recognizable tree they had seen before.
Sl: Ko sta se končno vrnila na izhodišče, sta bila oba premočena, a varna.
En: When they finally returned to the starting point, they were both soaked but safe.
Sl: Matej je pogledal Ano z novim občudovanjem.
En: Matej looked at Ana with newfound admiration.
Sl: "Hvala, Ana.
En: "Thank you, Ana.
Sl: Naslednjič bom poslušal tvojo intuicijo.
En: Next time, I'll listen to your intuition."
Sl: " Ana se je nasmehnila.
En: Ana smiled.
Sl: "In jaz bom bolj zaupala svojim instinktom.
En: "And I'll trust my instincts more."
Sl: " Oba sta vedela, da sta skupaj premagala past narave in okrepila prijateljstvo med njima.
En: They both knew they had together overcome the trap of nature and strengthened the friendship between them.
Sl: Zdaj sta razumela, kako pomembno je ravnotežje med pustolovščino in previdnostjo.
En: Now they understood the importance of balancing adventure and caution.

Story Transcript:
Sl: Podzemni svet Postojnske jame je bil skrivnosten in čaroben.
En: The underground world of the Postojnska jama was mysterious and magical.
Sl: Stalaktiti in stalagmiti so se lesketali v soju umetne svetlobe.
En: The stalactites and stalagmites glistened in the glow of artificial light.
Sl: Poti so bile ozke, zrak pa hladen in vlažen.
En: The paths were narrow, and the air was cold and damp.
Sl: Vse je bilo kot iz pravljice, ki jo pripoveduje sama narava.
En: It all seemed like a fairy tale told by nature itself.
Sl: Matej in Maruša sta stala pred vhodom.
En: Matej and Maruša stood at the entrance.
Sl: Maruša je navdušeno kazala na stene, razlagala o zgodovini jame in živalih, ki jo poseljujejo.
En: Maruša enthusiastically pointed at the walls, explaining the cave's history and the animals that inhabit it.
Sl: Matej je bil tiho.
En: Matej was silent.
Sl: Njegova želja je bila, da bi jo očaral.
En: His wish was to impress her.
Sl: Globoko v sebi je skrival tesnobo.
En: Deep inside, he hid his anxiety.
Sl: Maruša mu je bila všeč, a ni hotel pokazati svoje negotovosti.
En: He liked Maruša, but he didn't want to show his uncertainty.
Sl: Stopala sta po osvetljeni poti.
En: They walked along the lit path.
Sl: Ponosno je poslušal vse, kar mu je Maruša pripovedovala.
En: He proudly listened to everything Maruša told him.
Sl: Pogovarjala sta se o protejih, o mogočni dvorani, kjer se lahko sliši odmev celih pet sekund.
En: They discussed the proteus, the mighty hall where an echo could be heard for a full five seconds.
Sl: Kar naenkrat je začutil, da ga srbi nos.
En: Suddenly, he felt an itch in his nose.
Sl: Najprej je mislil, da gre zgolj za prah.
En: At first, he thought it was just dust.
Sl: Potem pa je začelo postajati resno.
En: But then it started to become serious.
Sl: Njegovo dihanje je bilo težje.
En: His breathing became heavier.
Sl: Matej je vedel, da gre za alergijsko reakcijo, a je želel ostati miren.
En: Matej knew it was an allergic reaction, but he wanted to stay calm.
Sl: Skrbelo ga je, kako bo reagirala Maruša, če ugotovi, da je nerodno bolestno občutljiv.
En: He was worried about how Maruša would react if she found out he was awkwardly sensitive.
Sl: Poti so postale daljše in dihanje vse glasnejše.
En: The paths became longer, and his breathing grew louder.
Sl: Poskušal je misliti na druge stvari, vendar so simptomi resno postajali očitni.
En: He tried to think about other things, but the symptoms were seriously becoming apparent.
Sl: Matej je začel kihati.
En: Matej began to sneeze.
Sl: Njegov obraz je bil rdeč in oči so mu solzile.
En: His face was red, and his eyes were watering.
Sl: Končno je moral priznati poraz.
En: Finally, he had to admit defeat.
Sl: Stopila sta ob rob, kjer je Matej lahko sedel.
En: They stepped to the side, where Matej could sit.
Sl: "Oprosti," je izustil s hripavim glasom.
En: "Sorry," he uttered hoarsely.
Sl: "Ne morem več skrivati.
En: "I can't hide it anymore.
Sl: Alergija.
En: Allergy."
Sl: "Maruša ga je pogledala z razumevanjem.
En: Maruša looked at him with understanding.
Sl: "Sem ti lahko kako pomagam?
En: "Is there anything I can do to help?"
Sl: " je vprašala skrbno.
En: she asked, concerned.
Sl: Brez oklevanja je iz torbe potegnila robčke in steklenico vode.
En: Without hesitation, she pulled tissues and a bottle of water from her bag.
Sl: Pomislila je na vse, kar bi mu lahko pomagalo.
En: She thought of everything that might help him.
Sl: Skupaj sta čepela ob steni v jami.
En: They crouched together against the wall in the cave.
Sl: Matej je počival, medtem ko je Maruša poskrbela, da se je počutil bolje.
En: Matej rested while Maruša made sure he felt better.
Sl: Njena skrb in toplina sta ga presenetili.
En: Her care and warmth surprised him.
Sl: "Hvala," je bil hvaležen.
En: "Thank you," he said gratefully.
Sl: "Res me je skrbelo, kako boš reagirala.
En: "I was really worried about how you'd react."
Sl: "Maruša se je nasmehnila.
En: Maruša smiled.
Sl: "Vsak ima svoje težave," je rekla.
En: "Everyone has their own problems," she said.
Sl: "Pomembno je, da se znamo podpirati.
En: "It's important that we know how to support each other."
Sl: "Matej je začutil olajšanje.
En: Matej felt relieved.
Sl: Naučil se je, da slabost ni nekaj, česar bi se moral sramovati.
En: He learned that weakness was not something to be ashamed of.
Sl: Konec koncev, ranljivost je pripeljala do tega, da sta se z Marušo še bolj zbližala.
En: In the end, vulnerability brought him and Maruša even closer.
Sl: Nadaljevala sta pot skozi jamo, zdaj že kot resnična prijatelja, ki jih povezuje več kot le obisk tmine pod zemljo.
En: They continued their journey through the cave, now as true friends, connected by more than just a visit to the depths beneath the earth.

Story Transcript:
Sl: V Tivoli Parku se je začelo prebujati čudovito pomladno jutro.
En: In Tivoli Park, a beautiful spring morning began to awaken.
Sl: Zrak je bil svež in poln vonjav cvetočih cvetlic.
En: The air was fresh and full of the scent of blooming flowers.
Sl: Tomaž je počasi tekel po potki, ki je vodila skozi zeleno srce mesta.
En: Tomaž was jogging slowly along the path that led through the green heart of the city.
Sl: Tek mu je pomagal razbistriti misli in se osredotočiti na študije.
En: Running helped him clear his thoughts and focus on his studies.
Sl: Čeprav je bil pogosto sam, je opazil, da to potrebuje.
En: Although he was often alone, he realized that he needed this.
Sl: A globoko v sebi je čutil praznino.
En: Yet deep inside, he felt an emptiness.
Sl: Ana je bila na drugi strani parka.
En: Ana was on the other side of the park.
Sl: Njeni čevlji so komaj dotikali tal, ko je tekla.
En: Her shoes barely touched the ground as she ran.
Sl: Maraton je bil njen cilj, njen fokus.
En: The marathon was her goal, her focus.
Sl: Bila je energična in komunikativna, vendar je tekla sama, da bi se bolje osredotočila.
En: She was energetic and communicative, but she ran alone to better concentrate.
Sl: Nič ni bilo pomembnejše od njene pripravljenosti.
En: Nothing was more important than her preparedness.
Sl: Tomaž je že nekajkrat videl Ano.
En: Tomaž had seen Ana several times already.
Sl: Njen nasmeh med tekom ga je vedno znova presenetil.
En: Her smile while running always surprised him.
Sl: "Mogoče bi ji moral kaj reči," je razmišljal.
En: "Maybe I should say something to her," he thought.
Sl: Toda potem se je spomnil, kako težko mu je spregovoriti s tujci.
En: But then he remembered how hard it was for him to talk to strangers.
Sl: Še posebej z nekom tako samozavestnim, kot je bila Ana.
En: Especially to someone as confident as Ana.
Sl: Ampak tisto jutro, ko se je nebo razjasnilo in sonce pokukalo skozi oblake, se je odločil.
En: But that morning, when the sky cleared and the sun peeked through the clouds, he made a decision.
Sl: Podzavestno je pospešil korak, da bi jo ujel.
En: Subconsciously, he quickened his pace to catch up with her.
Sl: Ko sta tekla drug ob drugem, mu je Ana namenila kratek pogled in pozdravila: "Živjo, tebe pa spet vidim!"
En: As they ran alongside each other, Ana gave him a quick glance and greeted him: "Hi, I see you again!"
Sl: Tomaž je začutil, kako mu srce poskoči, a raje počasi in previdno spregovoril: "Živjo, vedno te vidim, ko tečem. Tvoj tempo je impresiven."
En: Tomaž felt his heart leap, but he chose to speak slowly and cautiously: "Hi, I always see you when I run. Your pace is impressive."
Sl: Začeli so se pogovarjati med tekom.
En: They began talking while running.
Sl: Govorila sta o svojih ciljih, sanjah in ljubljanskih potkah.
En: They talked about their goals, dreams, and the paths of Ljubljana.
Sl: Tomaž je spoznal, da je Ana več kot le hitra tekačica; bila je tudi oseba s strastjo in sanjami.
En: Tomaž realized that Ana was more than just a fast runner; she was also a person with passion and dreams.
Sl: Nenadoma je Ana zelo nerodno stopila na kamen in si zvila gleženj.
En: Suddenly, Ana awkwardly stepped on a stone and twisted her ankle.
Sl: Z bolečinskim izrazom na obrazu je malce obstala.
En: With a pained expression on her face, she momentarily paused.
Sl: Tomaž je takoj reagiral in ji pomagal do najbližje klopi.
En: Tomaž immediately reacted and helped her to the nearest bench.
Sl: Sedla sta.
En: They sat down.
Sl: Tomaž je previdno preveril njen gleženj in vprašal, kako se počuti.
En: Tomaž carefully examined her ankle and asked how she felt.
Sl: Ana se mu je zahvalila.
En: Ana thanked him.
Sl: Počutila se je ranljivo, a hvaležno za pomoč.
En: She felt vulnerable but grateful for the help.
Sl: Medtem ko sta sedela na klopi, se je njun pogovor poglobil.
En: As they sat on the bench, their conversation deepened.
Sl: Tomaž je povedal, kako ga skrbi osamljenost in kako mu tek pomaga.
En: Tomaž shared his concerns about loneliness and how running helped him.
Sl: Ana je razkrila, da si, kljub svoji osredotočenosti, želi novih prijateljstev.
En: Ana revealed that despite her focus, she longed for new friendships.
Sl: "Veš, mislim, da bi bilo lepo, če bi spet tekla skupaj," je rekel Tomaž, zdaj bolj samozavestno.
En: "You know, I think it would be nice if we ran together again," Tomaž said, now more confidently.
Sl: Ana se je nasmehnila: "To bi bilo res lepo."
En: Ana smiled: "That would be really nice."
Sl: Zamenjala sta telefonski številki, z obljubo, da se bosta srečala spet, ko bo Anin gleženj bolje.
En: They exchanged phone numbers, promising to meet again when Ana's ankle would be better.
Sl: Medtem ko so cvetlice okoli njiju napovedovale nov začetek, sta oba čutila, da se nekaj lepega razvija.
En: As the flowers around them heralded a new beginning, they both felt that something beautiful was developing.
Sl: Tomaž je spoznal, kako dragoceno je, da si odpreš srce za nove ljudi.
En: Tomaž realized how precious it is to open your heart to new people.
Sl: Ana je sedaj presegel svoje strahove.
En: Ana had now overcome her fears.
Sl: Pomlad v Tivoliju je prinesla ne le novo listje in cvetje, temveč tudi novo prijateljstvo, ki bi lahko postalo še več.
En: Spring in Tivoli brought not only new leaves and flowers but also a new friendship that could become even more.

Story Transcript:
Sl: Ljubljana je bila obsijana s soncem tistega poznega pomladnega dne.
En: Ljubljana was bathed in sunlight that late spring day.
Sl: V starem mestnem jedru je potekal srednjeveški sejem.
En: In the old city center, a medieval fair was taking place.
Sl: Ulice so bile polne ljudi.
En: The streets were full of people.
Sl: Barvite stojnice so ponujale vse od domače obrti do slastnih dobrot.
En: Colorful stalls offered everything from homemade crafts to delicious treats.
Sl: Zrak je dišal po začinjenem mesu in sladkih pecivih, glasba in smeh pa sta odmevala iz vseh strani.
En: The air smelled of spiced meat and sweet pastries, while music and laughter echoed from all directions.
Sl: Matej je hodil med stojnicami s svojo hčerko Majo in svakinjo Katjo.
En: Matej was walking among the stalls with his daughter Maja and sister-in-law Katja.
Sl: Od smrti svoje žene je Matej težko našel pot nazaj do Maje.
En: Since his wife's death, Matej had struggled to reconnect with Maja.
Sl: Deklica je bila tiha, zaprta v svoj svet spominov.
En: The girl was quiet, closed off in her world of memories.
Sl: Katja je nežno držala Majo za roko, občasno pomešetrenih oči kazala skrb za oba.
En: Katja gently held Maja's hand, her occasionally mixed expressions showing concern for both.
Sl: "Vidva morata poskusiti to gobovo pogačo," je rekla Katja, poskušajoč vnesti kanček lahkotnosti.
En: "You both have to try this mushroom pie," Katja said, trying to inject a bit of lightness.
Sl: Matej se je spodbudno nasmehnil Maji, ta pa je rahlo prikimala in ugriznila v pogačo.
En: Matej gave Maja an encouraging smile, and she nodded slightly before biting into the pie.
Sl: Njeni oči so se zdelo obudile, a le za trenutek.
En: Her eyes appeared to awaken, but only for a moment.
Sl: Matej si je želel več - želel je nazaj tisto veselje, ki ga je nekoč delil z Majo.
En: Matej longed for more—he wanted back the joy he once shared with Maja.
Sl: Pri eni od stojnic so vabili ljudi, naj se pridružijo ljudskemu plesu na trgu.
En: At one of the stalls, people were invited to join a folk dance in the square.
Sl: "Poglej, Maja," je rekel Matej, "Mogoče lahko plešemo.
En: "Look, Maja," Matej said, "Maybe we could dance."
Sl: "Maja se je zmrdnila.
En: Maja frowned.
Sl: "Nočem," je dejala trmasto.
En: "I don't want to," she said stubbornly.
Sl: Katja je položila roko na Matejevo ramo.
En: Katja placed a hand on Matej's shoulder.
Sl: "Bodi potrpežljiv, bratec," je zamrmrala.
En: "Be patient, brother," she murmured.
Sl: Vendar je Matej čutil, da mora nekaj storiti.
En: However, Matej felt he had to do something.
Sl: Srčno si je želel, da bi Maja videla, kako se trudi.
En: He earnestly wished for Maja to see how he was trying.
Sl: Pridružil se je plesu, kljub temu da mu je bilo nelagodno.
En: He joined the dance, despite feeling uneasy.
Sl: Z vsakim korakom je upal, da se mu bo Maja pridružila.
En: With each step, he hoped she would join him.
Sl: A Maja, namesto da bi ga opazovala s smehljajem, je nenadoma zbežala proti robu sejma.
En: But Maja, instead of watching him with a smile, suddenly ran toward the edge of the fair.
Sl: Matejev srce je poskočil, hitro se je odpravil za njo.
En: Matej's heart jumped, and he quickly set off after her.
Sl: Na robu sejma, tik ob stari kamniti steni, jo je dosegel.
En: He reached her at the edge of the fair, right by the old stone wall.
Sl: "Maja, draga, počakaj," je rekel, zadržujoč sapo.
En: "Maja, darling, wait," he said, out of breath.
Sl: Deklica je stala z glavo sklonjeno, oči pa napolnjene s solzami.
En: The girl stood with her head down, her eyes filled with tears.
Sl: "Pogrešam mamico," je naenkrat žalostno izustila.
En: "I miss mommy," she suddenly said sadly.
Sl: Matej jo je previdno objel, končno dopuščajoč tudi svojim ločitvinim čustvom, da privrejo na površje.
En: Matej cautiously hugged her, finally allowing his own bottled-up emotions to surface.
Sl: Objeta sta dolgo stala v tišini.
En: They stood embraced for a long while in silence.
Sl: Končno si je Maja obrisala solze.
En: Finally, Maja wiped away her tears.
Sl: "Pogrešam jo vsak dan," je tiho šepnila.
En: "I miss her every day," she whispered quietly.
Sl: "Ampak tudi tebe potrebujeva.
En: "But we need you too."
Sl: "Po tem trenutku sta se vrnila k sejemskim stojnicam.
En: After that moment, they returned to the fair's stalls.
Sl: Skupaj sta se ustavila pri štantku z lesenimi okraski.
En: Together they stopped at a stall with wooden ornaments.
Sl: Maja je s prstom kazala na majhen lesen obesek v obliki srca.
En: Maja pointed to a small wooden heart-shaped pendant.
Sl: "Tole je za nas," je rekla.
En: "This is for us," she said.
Sl: Matej je prikimal, saj je vedel, da je ta drobcen simbol začetka nove poti.
En: Matej nodded, knowing this tiny symbol marked the start of a new journey.
Sl: Nekaj enostavnega, a pomenljivega.
En: Something simple, yet meaningful.
Sl: Vsak trenutek v življenju je priložnost, da najdemo pot naprej, pa čeprav se zdi težka.
En: Every moment in life is an opportunity to find a way forward, even if it seems difficult.
Sl: Matej je vedel, da je z Majo naredil prvi korak.
En: Matej knew he had taken the first step with Maja.
Sl: In ta je bil najpomembnejši.
En: And that was the most important one.

En: "Why the castle?"
Sl: « je vprašal Jure.
En: Jure asked.
Sl: »Tukaj sva bila že tolikokrat.
En: "We’ve been here so many times."
Sl: «»Točno zaradi tega,« je odgovoril Tadej.
En: "Exactly for that reason," replied Tadej.
Sl: »Grad nas povezuje z otroštvom.
En: "The castle connects us to our childhood.
Sl: Tukaj smo večkrat prišli skupaj z družino.
En: We often came here together with the family.
Sl: Želim, da se spomnimo tistih časov.
En: I want us to remember those times."

En: The tour guide started with the tour.
Sl: Hodili so po kamnitih poteh, gledali znamenitosti in poslušali zgodbe o gradu.
En: They walked along the stone paths, looked at the sights, and listened to stories about the castle.
Sl: Zrak je bil poln žarčenja poletnega opoldneva.
En: The air was full of the radiance of a summer afternoon.
Sl: Pogovarjali so se in smejali, toda napetost je bila še vedno prisotna.
En: They talked and laughed, but tension was still present.
Sl: Na trenutke so beležili spomine, ko so prišli do muzeja.
En: At moments, they captured memories when they reached the museum.
Sl: Tam je ustavil neki star predmet, na katerega so naleteli.
En: There, they were stopped by an old object they stumbled upon.
Sl: Bil je redek meč.
En: It was a rare sword.
Sl: Tadej je začel govoriti o dediščini, a Nina mu je prekinila.
En: Tadej began talking about heritage, but Nina interrupted him.
Sl: »Včasih se zdiš kot naš oče, Tadej,« je rekla z nasmehom, ki se je spreminjal v resnost.
En: "Sometimes you seem like our father, Tadej," she said with a smile that turned into seriousness.
Sl: »Vendar, časi se spreminjajo.
En: "However, times are changing.
Sl: Ne moramo vedno živeti preteklosti.
En: We can't always live in the past."
Sl: «Jure je prikimal.
En: Jure nodded.
Sl: »Vse se spreminja in tudi mi.
En: "Everything changes, and so do we.
Sl: Pogrešamo tradicijo, toda tudi nove zgodbe so pomembne.
En: We miss tradition, but new stories are important too."
Sl: «Razprava je bila napeta, a iskrena.
En: The discussion was tense but sincere.
Sl: Medtem ko so stali ob tistem starem meču, so se začeli zavedati, da je njihova moč v njihovi zmožnosti prilagoditve in odpuščanja.
En: As they stood by that old sword, they began to realize that their strength lay in their ability to adapt and forgive.
Sl: Razpravljali so odprto, izražali občutke, ki so se dolgo skrivali.
En: They discussed openly, expressing feelings that had long been hidden.
Sl: Po razbirnem pogovoru so končno prišli do zaključka.
En: After a clarifying conversation, they finally reached a conclusion.
Sl: Potrebovali so več časa drug za drugega.
En: They needed more time for each other.

En: It didn't matter where they lived—what mattered was staying in touch.
Sl: Tadej je olajšano vzdihnil.
En: Tadej sighed with relief.
Sl: Razumel je, da ni treba vse držati skupaj sam.

Sl: Skupaj so si obljubili, da bodo bolj vključeni in predani, ne glede na razdaljo.
En: Together, they promised to be more involved and committed, regardless of the distance.
Sl: Ljubljanski grad je bil zdaj ne samo spomin na preteklost, ampak tudi simbol njihovih prihodnjih zgodb.
En: Ljubljanski grad was now not only a memory of the past but also a symbol of their future stories.

Story Transcript:
Sl: Žan je stopil na pomladnem soncu pred vstopna vrata volišča v Ljubljani.
En: Žan stepped into the spring sunshine in front of the entrance to the polling station in Ljubljana.
Sl: Občutek pomladne svežine je bil v zraku.
En: The feeling of spring freshness was in the air.
Sl: Okoli njega so bila drevesa v polnem razcvetu, ptiči so čivkali in ljudje so prihajali in odhajali s volišča.
En: Around him, the trees were in full bloom, birds were chirping, and people were coming and going from the polling station.
Sl: Žan je bil navdušen.
En: Žan was excited.
Sl: Danes je bil pomemben dan - njegova prva volitev na Volitvah v Evropski parlament.
En: Today was an important day - his first time voting in the European Parliament Elections.
Sl: Želel si je pustiti pečat.
En: He wanted to make his mark.
Sl: Vendar ni pričakoval, da bo ta pečat v obliki viteške oprave.
En: However, he did not expect that this mark would be in the form of a knight's armor.
Sl: Ko je vstopil v stavbo, mešanico starega in modernega, sončna svetloba pa je skozi velika okna nežno sijala na hodnike, so se vsi pogledi usmerili k njemu.
En: As he entered the building, a mix of old and modern with sunlight gently streaming through the large windows onto the hallways, all eyes turned to him.
Sl: Žan je pozabil, da je dan kostumirane zabave in ne dan, ko bi se moral obleči kot vitez.
En: Žan had forgotten that today was a costume party day and not a day to dress like a knight.
Sl: Počutil se je neprijetno.
En: He felt awkward.
Sl: "Kaj zdaj?
En: "What now?"
Sl: " se je vprašal.
En: he asked himself.
Sl: Tina, njegova praktična in vedno podpirajoča prijateljica, je že čakala v vrsti in se nasmehnila, ko ga je zagledala.
En: Tina, his practical and always supportive friend, was already waiting in line and smiled when she saw him.
Sl: Pristopila je k njemu in ga potegnila k sebi.
En: She approached him and pulled him closer.
Sl: »Žan, vidiš, da si malce zamešal dneve.
En: "Žan, you see, you've mixed up the days a bit.
Sl: Ampak to ni pomembno.
En: But it doesn't matter.
Sl: Ljudje bodo razumeli.
En: People will understand."
Sl: «Žan je bil na robu zapustiti volišče.
En: Žan was on the verge of leaving the polling station.
Sl: Vendar je Tinin nasmeh in tople besede spremenil njegovo odločitev.
En: However, Tina's smile and kind words changed his mind.
Sl: Matej, izkušen volivec in znanec, je prišel mimo in mu prijateljsko svetoval: »Ničesar se ne boj.
En: Matej, an experienced voter and acquaintance, walked by and amicably advised him: "Do not fear anything.
Sl: Tudi vitez ima svoje pravice.
En: Even a knight has his rights."
Sl: «Odločil se je ostati.
En: He decided to stay.
Sl: Ko se je končno približal volišču, je oklep nerodno zaropotal in privabil še več pozornosti.
En: When he finally approached the voting booth, the armor clanked awkwardly, drawing even more attention.
Sl: Žan je bil rdeč kot paprika, a je kljub temu odločeno izpolnil glasovnico.
En: Žan was as red as a pepper, but nevertheless, he determinedly filled out the ballot.
Sl: Po glasovanju je Matej na široko osmehnil in rekel: »Tvoj glas odmeva kot zvon!
En: After voting, Matej beamed widely and said, "Your vote resounds like a bell!"
Sl: « Tina se je zasmejala in tudi Žan se ji je pridružil.
En: Tina laughed, and Žan joined her.
Sl: Videli so smešno stran situacije.
En: They saw the funny side of the situation.
Sl: Ko so stopili iz stavbe, je Žan spoznal, da sodelovanje šteje, ne obleka.
En: As they stepped out of the building, Žan realized that participation counts, not the outfit.
Sl: S smehom v srcu so se odpravili proti kostumirani zabavi, kjer je Žan končno lahko svoji opravi posvetil pravo mesto.
En: With laughter in their hearts, they headed towards the costume party, where Žan could finally showcase his attire in the right setting.
Sl: Naučil se je, da življenju ne sme dovoliti, da bi mu preveč zavladalo resnobnost, še posebej, ko gre za nekaj tako pomembnega, kot je volilna udeležba.
En: He learned not to let life be overly dominated by seriousness, especially when it comes to something as important as voting participation.
Sl: In tako je njegova prva izkušnja glasovanja postala zgodba, ki jo bo pripovedoval še vrsto let.
En: And so, his first voting experience became a story he would tell for years to come.

Story Transcript:
Sl: Mateja je sedela v temnem prostoru Ljubljanskega gradu.
En: Mateja sat in the dim room of the Ljubljanski grad.
Sl: Vazduh je bil napet, poln pričakovanja.
En: The air was tense, full of anticipation.
Sl: Igrala je poker z Lukom in Anžetom, dvema izkušenima igralcema.
En: She was playing poker with Luka and Anže, two experienced players.
Sl: Miza je bila osvetljena s svečami, ki so metale dolge sence po stenskih kamnih.
En: The table was lit by candles, casting long shadows over the stone walls.
Sl: Matejino srce je razbijalo, vendar je njen obraz ostal hladen in neizprosen.
En: Mateja's heart was pounding, but her face remained cold and relentless.
Sl: Pomlad je prinesla svežino in cvetje na grajski hrib, vendar notranjost prostora ni čutila te mehkobe.
En: Spring had brought freshness and flowers to the castle hill, but the interior of the room didn't feel this softness.
Sl: Mateja si je močno želela zmage.
En: Mateja strongly desired a win.
Sl: Potrebovala je denar za razčiščenje starih dolgov in nova oblačila za službo.
En: She needed the money to clear old debts and buy new clothes for work.
Sl: To bi bil njen izhod iz finančnih težav.
En: This would be her way out of financial troubles.
Sl: Luka je bil prvi na vrsti.
En: Luka was first to act.
Sl: Njegove oči so bile zbrane, ko je pogledal svoje karte.
En: His eyes were focused as he looked at his cards.
Sl: Anže je bil naslednji.
En: Anže was next.
Sl: On se je pošalil na račun Matejine resnosti, vendar je hitro zamenjal obraz, ko je pogledal karte.
En: He joked about Mateja's seriousness, but quickly changed his expression when he looked at his cards.
Sl: Ko je prišla vrsta na Matejo, je globoko vdihnila.
En: When it was Mateja's turn, she took a deep breath.
Sl: Njene karte niso bile najboljše, toda zavohala je priložnost.
En: Her cards weren't the best, but she sensed an opportunity.
Sl: "Moram tvegati," je šepnila sama sebi.
En: "I must take a risk," she whispered to herself.
Sl: Z dvignjeno brado in zbranim pogledom je napovedala stavo, ki je šokirala njene tekmece.
En: With her chin raised and a focused gaze, she announced a bet that shocked her opponents.
Sl: Srce ji je divje utripalo, a njen obraz je ostal brezizrazen.
En: Her heart was beating wildly, but her face remained expressionless.
Sl: Luka je brnel, a je neodgovorno pokimal.
En: Luka murmured, but irresponsibly nodded.
Sl: Anže, manj prepričan, je zmajal z glavo in odstopil.
En: Anže, less convinced, shook his head and folded.
Sl: Prišla je kritična trenutek - razkritje.
En: The critical moment came - the reveal.
Sl: Luka je ponosno pokazal svoje karte.
En: Luka proudly showed his cards.
Sl: Bila je to močna kombinacija.
En: It was a strong hand.
Sl: Mateja se je za trenutek zamislila, ali naj razkrije svoj slabši par.
En: Mateja hesitated for a moment, wondering if she should reveal her weaker pair.
Sl: Vendar je zaupala svoji intuiciji, njenemu izjemnemu čutu za blefiranje.
En: However, she trusted her intuition, her exceptional sense for bluffing.
Sl: Nasmehnila se je rahlo in položila svoje karte na mizo.
En: She smiled slightly and laid her cards on the table.
Sl: Luka je z začudenim izrazom vrgel svoje karte in zavihtel z glavo v znak priznanja.
En: Luka threw his cards down with a surprised expression and nodded in acknowledgment.
Sl: Mateja je zmagala.
En: Mateja won.
Sl: Množica okoli mize je zaploskala, njen obraz pa je ostal miren.
En: The crowd around the table applauded, but her face remained calm.
Sl: Ni bila le zmaga v igri, ampak tudi zmaga nad lastnimi strahovi in dvomi.
En: It was not only a win in the game but also a victory over her own fears and doubts.
Sl: Na poti iz grajske dvorane je Mateja občutila novo samozavest.
En: On the way out of the castle hall, Mateja felt a new confidence.
Sl: Znala je kontrolirati tvegane situacije in cenila je trenutke, ko se je odločila, da je bolje tvegati, kot nikoli ne poskusiti.
En: She knew how to handle risky situations and appreciated the moments when she decided it was better to take a risk than never to try.
Sl: Ljubljanski grad je te noči priča Matejini zmagi, njenemu preboju do svobode.
En: Ljubljanski grad was a witness to Mateja's victory that night, her breakthrough to freedom.
Sl: Pomladni vetrič je nežno pihal in napovedoval nove začetke, nove igre.
En: The spring breeze blew gently, heralding new beginnings, new games.
Sl: Mateja je vedela, da bo še naprej igrala – pa ne le poker, ampak tudi z življenjem, z osveženo energijo in upanjem.
En: Mateja knew she would continue to play – not just poker, but also with life, with renewed energy and hope.

Story Transcript:
Sl: Triglavski narodni park se je spomladi prebudil v čudovitih barvah.
En: Triglavski narodni park awoke in the spring with beautiful colors.
Sl: Planine so bile še pokrite s snegom, medtem ko so se na travnikih razcvetele divje rože.
En: The mountain pastures were still covered with snow, while wildflowers bloomed in the meadows.
Sl: V tej osupljivi pokrajini je Matej, strasten fotograf narave, iskal navdih in umiritev.
En: In this stunning landscape, Matej, a passionate nature photographer, sought inspiration and peace.
Sl: Pretekli meseci so bili težki; stres v službi in konec zveze sta mu pustila veliko grenkobe.
En: The past months had been difficult; work-related stress and the end of a relationship had left him with much bitterness.
Sl: Anja je hodila po isti poti, radovedna in polna energije.
En: Anja was walking on the same path, curious and full of energy.
Sl: Bila je ljubiteljica pohodov, ki je uživala v samostojnih avanturah po svetu.
En: She was a hiking enthusiast who enjoyed solo adventures around the world.
Sl: Sanja, njena najboljša prijateljica, jo je spodbudila, da je odprta za nova doživetja in ljudi, ki jih sreča na svoji poti.
En: Sanja, her best friend, had encouraged her to be open to new experiences and people she met along her journey.
Sl: Anja je tiho želela, da bi enkrat nekdo delil te trenutke z njo.
En: Anja quietly wished that one day, someone would share these moments with her.
Sl: Matej, ki je hodil za njo, je opazil Anjo, kako je fotografirala cvetoče livade.
En: Matej, who was walking behind her, noticed Anja photographing the blooming meadows.
Sl: Njene fotografije so bile iskrene, polne življenja.
En: Her photos were genuine, full of life.
Sl: Matej, očaran nad njenim pogledom na svet, je zbral pogum in ji pristopil.
En: Captivated by her perspective on the world, Matej mustered the courage to approach her.
Sl: "Zdravo," je rekel, "vidim, da tudi ti ljubiš naravo."
En: "Hello," he said, "I see you also love nature."
Sl: Anja se je nasmehnila.
En: Anja smiled.
Sl: "Zdravo," je odgovorila. "Da, rada bi, da bi to delila z nekom."
En: "Hello," she replied. "Yes, I would love to share this with someone."
Sl: Naslednji dan se je Matej odločil pridružiti skupinskemu pohodu, ki ga je vodila Anja.
En: The next day, Matej decided to join a group hike led by Anja.
Sl: Sprejeti to povabilo je bil zanj majhen korak k odpiranju srca.
En: Accepting this invitation was a small step for him in opening his heart.
Sl: Anja je začela deliti svoje najljubše kotičke v parku.
En: Anja began to share her favorite spots in the park.
Sl: Hodila sta po slikovitih poteh, odkrivala skrite slapove in čudovite razglede.
En: They walked along picturesque paths, discovering hidden waterfalls and wonderful vistas.
Sl: Vse je teklo gladko, dokler jih nenadoma ni ujela pomladanska nevihta.
En: Everything was going smoothly until they were suddenly caught in a spring storm.
Sl: Skupina se je zatekla v bližnjo planinsko kočo.
En: The group took refuge in a nearby mountain lodge.
Sl: Medtem ko je zunaj divjal veter, sta se Anja in Matej usedla ob kamin.
En: While the wind raged outside, Anja and Matej sat by the fireplace.
Sl: Delila sta si zgodbe o svojih potovanjih, sanjah in strahovih.
En: They shared stories of their travels, dreams, and fears.
Sl: Matej je Anji zaupal svojo zadrego pred novo zvezo.
En: Matej confided in Anja about his hesitance towards a new relationship.
Sl: Anja mu je razkrila svojo željo, da bi jo nekdo resnično razumel.
En: Anja revealed her desire for someone to truly understand her.
Sl: V toplini koče, ob kapljah dežja, ki so udarjale po oknih, sta oba začutila, da se je rodilo nekaj posebnega.
En: In the warmth of the lodge, with raindrops hitting the windows, both felt that something special was being born.
Sl: Ko se je nevihta polegla, sta Anja in Matej pogledala drug drugega.
En: When the storm subsided, Anja and Matej looked at each other.
Sl: Dogovorila sta se, da bosta še naprej raziskovala naravne lepote skupaj.
En: They agreed to continue exploring nature's beauty together.
Sl: Matej je našel navdih v Anjini družbi.
En: Matej found inspiration in Anja's company.
Sl: Anja pa je z njim pridobila samozavest za nova poznanstva.
En: Anja gained confidence to form new connections with him.
Sl: Pomlad je začela prinašati novo življenje, tako v naravi kot v njuni zgodbi.
En: Spring began to bring new life, both in nature and in their story.
Sl: Triglavski narodni park je postal njun svet, njihov skupni začetek.
En: Triglavski narodni park became their world, their shared beginning.
Sl: In tako sta na tiste prehojene poti vedno znova vračala, obe srce polno upanja in veselja do življenja.
En: And so they repeatedly returned to those traveled paths, both hearts full of hope and joy for life.

Story Transcript:
Sl: Vsak večer je spokojni mir v naselju za ograjo v Ljubljani prekinila skrivnostna melodija, ki se je začela natanko ob polnoči.
En: Every evening, the tranquil calm of the neighborhood behind the gate in Ljubljana was interrupted by a mysterious melody that began precisely at midnight.
Sl: Bila je prav posebna pomlad, ko so podnevi cveteli tulipani in dehtela drevesa.
En: It was a very special spring, when tulips bloomed by day and trees gave off their sweet fragrance.
Sl: Mateja, ki je živela tukaj in bila znana po svoji radovednosti, je melodijo zaznala prvi.
En: Mateja, who lived there and was known for her curiosity, was the first to notice the melody.
Sl: Bila je ljubiteljica ugank in njen sluh je bil vedno oster.
En: She was a lover of puzzles and always had a keen ear.
Sl: Vedno je hodila okrog z iskrico v očeh.
En: She always walked around with a sparkle in her eyes.
Sl: Njen najbližji sosed, Jure, je bil precej drugačen.
En: Her closest neighbor, Jure, was quite different.
Sl: Ni verjel v skrivnosti ali nadnaravno.
En: He did not believe in mysteries or the supernatural.
Sl: Vedno je iskal logična pojasnila.
En: He always sought logical explanations.
Sl: A globoko v sebi je Jure vendarle čutil rahlo nelagodje ob nepojasnjenih stvareh.
En: Yet, deep inside, Jure still felt a slight unease about unexplained things.
Sl: Še posebej, ko je bila tema.
En: Especially when it was dark.
Sl: Mateja je nekega dne potrkala na njegova vrata.
En: One day, Mateja knocked on his door.
Sl: "Jure, morava raziskati to glasbo," je rekla z navdušenjem.
En: "Jure, we have to investigate this music," she said enthusiastically.
Sl: Jure je podpisal, a se ni želel takoj pridružiti.
En: Jure sighed but was reluctant to join right away.
Sl: "To lahko pojasnimo," je dejal, čeprav ga je mala sapica strahu oplazila.
En: "We can explain this," he said, though a slight breeze of fear brushed by him.
Sl: Matejin duh pa ga je nalezel: veselje do avanture in odkrivanja.
En: Mateja's spirit, however, was contagious: the excitement of adventure and discovery.
Sl: Naslednji večer sta se opremila z lučkami in načrtom.
En: The next evening, they equipped themselves with flashlights and a plan.
Sl: Ogledala sta si načrt varnostnih kamer v naselju.
En: They looked at the layout of the security cameras in the neighborhood.
Sl: "Če greva po tej poti in se skrivava za drevesi, naju ne bodo opazili," je predlagala Mateja.
En: "If we go this way and hide behind the trees, they won't notice us," Mateja suggested.
Sl: Tako sta krenila na pot v temno umeščenost naselja.
En: So they set off into the dark of the neighborhood.
Sl: Pot ju je vodila do stare, opuščene hiše na koncu naselja.
En: Their path led them to an old, abandoned house at the end of the neighborhood.
Sl: "Kako da je nisem prej opazil?
En: "How did I not notice it before?"
Sl: " se je čudil Jure.
En: Jure wondered.
Sl: Bil je skeptičen, a čudoželjnost ga je premagala.
En: He was skeptical, but his curiosity overcame him.
Sl: Z veliko previdnostjo sta odprla vrata in vstopila v prašen, a nenavadno urejen hodnik.
En: With great caution, they opened the door and entered a dusty yet strangely orderly hallway.
Sl: V zgornjem nadstropju sta našla sklenjena vrata pod prstanom pajkove mreže.
En: Upstairs, they found closed doors under a ring of spider webs.
Sl: Mateja je zaslišala tanček melodije, ki je prišla ravno izza teh vrat.
En: Mateja heard a faint melody coming precisely from behind these doors.
Sl: Ko sta vstopila, sta našla staro glasbeno skrinjo.
En: When they entered, they found an old music box.
Sl: Bila je veličastna, a tudi nekoliko strašljiva.
En: It was magnificent, but also somewhat eerie.
Sl: "Slišala je zgodbo," je dejala Mateja, "pravijo, da je pripadala nekdanjemu glasbeniku, ki je nikoli ni prebolel.
En: "There's a story," Mateja said, "they say it belonged to a former musician who never got over it."
Sl: " Jure pa je pomislil, da je bil le mehanizem, ki se je čudežno obnavljal.
En: Jure thought it was just a mechanism that miraculously kept itself going.
Sl: Naslednji večer je Mateja sklenila povabiti vse prebivalce na srečanje.
En: The next evening, Mateja decided to invite all the residents to a gathering.
Sl: Zbrali so se pred opuščeno hišo in poslušali zgodbo o glasbeni skrinji.
En: They gathered in front of the abandoned house and listened to the story of the music box.
Sl: Strahovi so se sesuvali, ko so slišali preprosto logiko, a tudi čut skrivnosti v Matejinem glasu.
En: Fears crumbled as they heard the simple logic, yet also felt the sense of mystery in Mateja's voice.
Sl: Naselje je spet zaživelo, tokrat z radovednostjo in smelostjo.
En: The neighborhood came to life again, this time with curiosity and boldness.
Sl: Mateja in Jure sta spoznala, da je sodelovanje močnejše od strahu.
En: Mateja and Jure realized that cooperation is stronger than fear.
Sl: Naselje je postalo še tesneje povezano, sedaj bogatejše za novo zgodbo, ki jih je spomnila, kako je lepo živeti v skupnosti, kjer se delijo sanje in skrivnosti.
En: The neighborhood became even more closely knit, now enriched with a new story that reminded them how wonderful it is to live in a community where dreams and secrets are shared.

Sl: Tomaž je stal v glavnem terminalu Letališča Jožeta Pučnika.
En: Tomaž stood in the main terminal of Letališče Jožeta Pučnika.
Sl: Ljudje so hiteli naokrog, slišale so se razne napovedi iz zvočnikov, vonj po kavi pa je napolnil prostor.
En: People were rushing around, various announcements could be heard from the loudspeakers, and the scent of coffee filled the air.
Sl: Ob veliki stekleni steni je opazoval Triglav v daljavi.
En: By the large glass wall, he observed Triglav in the distance.
Sl: Ob njem je stala njegova mlajša sestra Katja z vznemirjenim nasmehom na obrazu.
En: Beside him stood his younger sister Katja with an excited smile on her face.

Sl: "Ja, Tomaž," je rekla z iskrivimi očmi.
En: "Yes, Tomaž," she said with sparkling eyes.
Sl: "Vse imam.
En: "I have everything.
Sl: Komaj čakam, da pridem v London!
En: I can’t wait to get to London!"
Sl: "Tomaž je prikimal, vendar mu srce ni dalo miru.
En: Tomaž nodded, but his heart was restless.
Sl: Vedno se je počutil odgovornega zanjo.
En: He always felt responsible for her.
Sl: Zdaj bo sama v velikem mestu.
En: Now she would be alone in a big city.
Sl: Njegovo srce je nemirno utripalo, vendar se je trudil, da bi to skril.
En: His heart beat anxiously, but he tried hard to hide it.
Sl: "Veš, da moraš biti previdna, kajne?
En: "You know you need to be careful, right?"
Sl: " je končno rekel, zaskrbljeno.
En: he finally said, worriedly.
Sl: "London je veliko mesto.
En: "London is a big city."
Sl: "Katja je zavzdihnila.
En: Katja sighed.
Sl: "Vem, Tomaž.
En: "I know, Tomaž.
Sl: Bom v redu.
En: I’ll be fine.
Sl: Res.
En: Really."
Sl: "Odhodna vrata so bila blizu, in čas se je hitro iztekal.
En: The departure gate was near, and time was running out quickly.
Sl: Njegov strah je narasel, vendar je moral potlačiti svoja čustva, da ji ni pokvaril vzhičenja.
En: His fear grew, but he had to suppress his emotions to not spoil her excitement.
Sl: "Nikoli še nisi bila tako daleč stran," je rekel bolj sebi kot njej.
En: "You’ve never been this far away before," he said more to himself than to her.
Sl: Katja se je nasmehnila.
En: Katja smiled.
Sl: "In ti tudi ne.
En: "And neither have you.
Sl: No, morda je čas, da me prideš obiskat!
En: Well, maybe it’s time for you to visit me!"
Sl: "Tomaž se je nasmejal tej misli.
En: Tomaž laughed at the thought.
Sl: Morda res ni tako slabo.
En: Maybe it wasn’t so bad.
Sl: "Bom velikokrat pisal, obljubim," je dejal.
En: "I’ll write often, I promise," he said.
Sl: "In pridem te obiskat, čim prej bom lahko.
En: "And I’ll visit you as soon as I can."
Sl: "Medtem ko so se poslavljala pri vratih, je Katja postala malce čustvena.
En: As they were saying goodbye at the gate, Katja became slightly emotional.
Sl: "Veš, tudi mene boš pogrešal.
En: "You know, you’ll miss me too."
Sl: "Tomaž je globoko vdihnil.
En: Tomaž took a deep breath.
Sl: To je trenutek, da izrazi tisto, kar ga teži.
En: This was the moment to express what was weighing on him.
Sl: "Katja," je začel nežno.
En: "Katja," he began gently.
Sl: "Zelo mi je pomembno, da veš, koliko mi pomeniš.
En: "It’s very important to me that you know how much you mean to me.
Sl: In, da bo vse vedno v redu, če bova ostala v stiku.
En: And that everything will always be okay if we stay in touch."
Sl: "Katja ga je objela.
En: Katja hugged him.
Sl: Ta objem je povedal več kot besede.
En: That hug said more than words.
Sl: "Vedno bova v stiku," je zašepetala.
En: "We’ll always stay in touch," she whispered.
Sl: "In tudi od daleč bova ostala brat in sestra.
En: "And even from afar, we’ll be brother and sister."
Sl: "Pustila ga je ob vratih z nasmehom, se obrnila in odšla s kovčkom proti varnostnemu pregledu.
En: She left him at the gate with a smile, turned, and went with her suitcase towards the security check.
Sl: Tomaž je ostal in mahajoč za njo čutil, kako se je med njima nekaj poglobilo.
En: Tomaž stayed, waving at her, feeling that something had deepened between them.
Sl: Čeprav je bil oddaljen, je bil hkrati zdaj bližje.
En: Although he was distant, he was now simultaneously closer.
Sl: Ko je Katja izginila izpred njegovih oči, je Tomaž vedel, da bo vse v redu.
En: As Katja disappeared from his sight, Tomaž knew everything would be fine.
Sl: Oba sta se naučila nekaj novega — Tomaž zaupati njej, ona pa ceniti njun odnos.
En: Both of them had learned something new — Tomaž to trust her, and her to appreciate their relationship.
Sl: Njuno povezavo bo razdalja le še okrepila.
En: The distance would only strengthen their bond.

Story Transcript:
Sl: Pod spomladanskim soncem je grad Predjama sijal v vsej svoji veličini.
En: Under the spring sun, grad Predjama shone in all its grandeur.
Sl: Vgrajen v veličastno pečino, je z odprtim naročjem sprejel obiskovalce, ovite v pisane oblačilne srednjeveškega festivala.
En: Built into a magnificent cliff, it welcomed visitors with open arms, dressed in the colorful attire of a medieval festival.
Sl: Mateja, ki je prvič prostovoljila, je hodila ob obzidju, očarana nad čudovitostjo kraja.
En: Mateja, volunteering for the first time, walked by the walls, enchanted by the beauty of the place.
Sl: Zgodovina je bila njena velika strast.
En: History was her great passion.
Sl: Sanjarila je o času, ko je grad bil poln vitezov in princez.
En: She daydreamed about a time when the castle was full of knights and princesses.
Sl: Predvsem pa si je želela deliti to strast z nekom.
En: Above all, she wanted to share this passion with someone.
Sl: Na drugi strani dvorišča je bil Rok, ki je z zanimanjem opazoval živahno dogajanje.
En: On the other side of the courtyard was Rok, who was observing the lively event with interest.
Sl: Kot umetnik je iskal navdih za svoje risbe.
En: As an artist, he was seeking inspiration for his drawings.
Sl: Čeprav je bil nekoliko zadržan, ga je okolje festivala navduševalo.
En: Although he was a bit reserved, the festival environment excited him.
Sl: Ljudje v kostumih in ples glasbe so ponujali nešteto trenutkov, vrednih skice.
En: People in costumes and the dance of music offered countless moments worthy of a sketch.
Sl: Festival je bil živahen, a urnik je bil tesen.
En: The festival was lively, but the schedule was tight.
Sl: Mateja in Rok sta imela težave najti trenutek za klepet.
En: Mateja and Rok had trouble finding a moment to chat.
Sl: Mateja se je odločila, da se bo pridružila turški skupini, ki jo je vodil Rok.
En: Mateja decided to join a tour group led by Rok.
Sl: To je bil popoln način, da se mu približa.
En: It was the perfect way to get closer to him.
Sl: Medtem ko je Rok vodil skupino skozi temačne hodnike in jo obogatil s svojimi skicami, je Mateja zvedavo poslušala.
En: While Rok guided the group through dark corridors and enriched it with his sketches, Mateja listened curiously.
Sl: Imela je veliko vprašanj, vendar si ni upala motiti.
En: She had many questions but didn't dare to interrupt.
Sl: Na koncu ture, ko so stali v tišjem delu dvorišča, je Mateja nabrala pogum.
En: At the end of the tour, as they stood in a quieter part of the courtyard, Mateja gathered her courage.
Sl: "Ali pogosto rišete tako hitro?
En: "Do you often draw so quickly?"
Sl: " je vprašala, ko je opazila skico grada v Rokovih rokah.
En: she asked, noticing the sketch of the castle in Rok's hands.
Sl: "Da," je odgovoril Rok, vesel zanimanja.
En: "Yes," replied Rok, glad of her interest.
Sl: "Kraj je poln navdiha.
En: "The place is full of inspiration."
Sl: "Pogovor se je razvil gladko, kot bi bil vokalna prepletenost dveh glasbenikov.
En: The conversation flowed smoothly, like the vocal intertwining of two musicians.
Sl: Delila sta zgodbe o svojih zanimanjih, o zgodovinskih junakih in umetniških tehnikah.
En: They shared stories about their interests, historical heroes, and artistic techniques.
Sl: Ugotovila sta, da je njuna sramežljivost izginjala, ko sta odkrila skupno ljubezen do preteklih časov in lepega sveta umetnosti.
En: They found that their shyness disappeared as they discovered a shared love for past times and the beautiful world of art.
Sl: Ko se je festival bližal koncu, sta izmenjala kontaktna podatka.
En: As the festival drew to a close, they exchanged contact information.
Sl: Ob pogledu na spokojni dolini pod gradom, sta sklenila načrte za naslednje potovanje, kjer bi raziskala več zgodovinskih znamenitosti.
En: Looking over the peaceful valley below the castle, they made plans for the next trip, where they would explore more historical landmarks.

En: And yes, her relationships with friends will endure.

Sl: Skupaj sta sedla pred stare monitore.
En: Together, they sat in front of the old monitors.

En: "Maybe we need to look differently," Tanja said.
Sl: Povezala je različne zgodbe posnetkov.

Sl: Vse je bilo jasno.

Story Transcript:
Sl: Matej je stal na vrhu Ljubljanskega gradu, opazoval zgodovinsko prireditev in si nervozno gladil lase.
En: Matej stood on top of Ljubljanski grad, observing the historical event and nervously smoothing his hair.
Sl: Pomladni dan je bil kot nalašč za dogodek, in obiskovalci so se zabavali.
En: The spring day was perfect for the occasion, and the visitors were having a good time.
Sl: Vonj cvetočih dreves je preplavljal zrak, ko so ljudje uživali v poučnem programu in zgodovinskih kostumih.
En: The scent of blooming trees filled the air as people enjoyed the educational program and historical costumes.
Sl: Nika je bila ena izmed igralk v prireditvi.
En: Nika was one of the performers at the event.
Sl: Njene oči so bile vedno pozorne.
En: Her eyes were always vigilant.
Sl: Pred nekaj dnevi je našla star dnevnik, ki je govoril o skritem zakladu.
En: A few days ago, she had found an old diary that spoke of a hidden treasure.
Sl: Vedela je, da lahko te informacije pomagajo Mateju pri njegovi skrivni želji.
En: She knew that this information could help Matej with his secret desire.
Sl: Igrala je svojo vlogo, a hkrati budno spremljala dogajanje okoli sebe.
En: She played her role but watched the happenings around her closely at the same time.
Sl: Gregor, skrbnik gradu, je bil tih mož z ljubeznijo do zgodovine.
En: Gregor, the castle's caretaker, was a quiet man with a love for history.
Sl: Poznal je vsak kotiček gradu in je imel svoje male skrivnosti.
En: He knew every nook and cranny of the castle and had his own little secrets.
Sl: Medtem ko je igral svojo vlogo v dogodku, se je bal, da bodo njegove skrivnosti razkrite.
En: While he played his part in the event, he feared his secrets might be uncovered.
Sl: Sredi popoldneva je izbruhnila panika.
En: In the middle of the afternoon, panic erupted.
Sl: Nekdo je izginil.
En: Someone had disappeared.
Sl: Matej se je moral hitro odločiti, kaj storiti.
En: Matej had to quickly decide what to do.
Sl: Da bi bila zadeva še bolj zapletena, je sumil, da izginotje ni naključno.
En: To make matters more complicated, he suspected the disappearance was not accidental.
Sl: Morda je povezano z zakladom.
En: Perhaps it was connected to the treasure.
Sl: Matej je stopil k Niki.
En: Matej approached Nika.
Sl: "Mislim, da morava biti detektiva," je tiho rekel.
En: "I think we need to be detectives," he said quietly.
Sl: Nika je pokimala in obljubila, da mu bo pomagala poiskati izgubljeno osebo.
En: Nika nodded and promised to help him find the missing person.
Sl: Začela sta načrtovati, kje naj iščeta.
En: They began to plan where to search.
Sl: Med iskanjem sta odkrila zastor, za katerim je bil skrivnosten prehod.
En: During their search, they discovered a curtain behind which was a mysterious passage.
Sl: "Poglej to," je rekla Nika.
En: "Look at this," said Nika.
Sl: Matej je izvlekel baterijsko svetilko.
En: Matej pulled out a flashlight.
Sl: Sledila sta temnemu hodniku, polnemu pajčevin in skrivnostnih senc.
En: They followed the dark corridor, filled with cobwebs and mysterious shadows.
Sl: Na koncu hodnika sta prišla do majhne podzemne dvorane.
En: At the end of the corridor, they arrived at a small underground chamber.
Sl: Tam sta našla Gregorja in pogrešano osebo, ki je bila vidno zmedena.
En: There, they found Gregor and the missing person, who appeared visibly confused.
Sl: Izkazalo se je, da je oseba po nesreči odkrila prehod in zašla.
En: It turned out the person had accidentally discovered the passage and wandered off.
Sl: Matej se je nasmehnil in olajšano zavzdihnil.
En: Matej smiled and sighed with relief.
Sl: "Res smo našli skriti del gradu," je dejal.
En: "We really found a hidden part of the castle," he said.
Sl: Gregor je priznal, da je vedel za te tunele, vendar jih ni nikoli razkril.
En: Gregor admitted he knew about these tunnels but had never revealed them.
Sl: Sklenili so pakt, da bodo o vsem tiho.
En: They made a pact to stay silent about the whole affair.
Sl: Po rešenju situacije se je vrnila nova energija na dogodek.
En: After resolving the situation, a new energy returned to the event.
Sl: Matej se je počutil osvobojenega, zdaj je bolj zaupal ljudem okoli sebe.
En: Matej felt liberated, and he now trusted the people around him more.
Sl: Zaklad je ostal skrit, vendar za Mateja, Niko in Gregorja ni bil več delček preteklosti, temveč povezava njihove nove skrivnosti.
En: The treasure remained hidden, but for Matej, Nika, and Gregor, it was no longer a fragment of the past, but a connection to their new secret.

Sl: Pomlad je prinesla sončne dneve in vonj cvetočih dreves, kar je oznanjalo konec šolskega leta na srednji šoli v Ljubljani.
En: Spring brought sunny days and the scent of blooming trees, heralding the end of the school year at a high school in Ljubljana.
Sl: Učenci so bili polni energije in živahnosti, saj se je bližala šolska prireditev talentov.
En: The students were full of energy and liveliness, as the school talent show was approaching.
Sl: Matej in Sabina sta hodila po dolgem hodniku šole, njuni koraki so odmevali po praznih tleh.
En: Matej and Sabina walked down the long hallway of the school, their steps echoing off the empty floors.
Sl: Matej je bil tiho, njegova glava polna misli o bližajočem se nastopu.
En: Matej was quiet, his head full of thoughts about the upcoming performance.
Sl: Bil je nadarjen pianist, a ga je vedno oviral strah pred nastopanjem.
En: He was a talented pianist, but performance anxiety always held him back.
Sl: Sabina, njegova najboljša prijateljica, je bila ravno nasprotje.
En: Sabina, his best friend, was just the opposite.
Sl: Bila je samozavestna in vesela.
En: She was confident and cheerful.
Sl: Njeni plesni gibi so bili lahkotni in navdušujoči.
En: Her dance moves were graceful and inspiring.
Sl: "Moraš se prijaviti, Matej," je rekla Sabina z navdušenim glasom.
En: "You have to sign up, Matej," Sabina said excitedly.
Sl: "To je tvoja priložnost."
En: "This is your chance."
Sl: Matej je z vzdihom odgovoril: "Ne vem, Sabina.
En: Matej sighed in response, "I don't know, Sabina.
Sl: Saj veš, da me nastopi spravljajo v zadrego."
En: You know that performances make me nervous."
Sl: Sabina ga je pogledala z odločnostjo.
En: Sabina looked at him with determination.
Sl: "Če želiš, bom nastopila s tabo.
En: "If you want, I'll perform with you.
Sl: Lahko naredimo duet.
En: We can make it a duet.
Sl: Ti boš igral klavir, jaz bom plesala.
En: You'll play the piano, and I'll dance.
Sl: Skupaj bova."
En: We'll be together."
Sl: Matej je za trenutek pomislil.
En: Matej thought for a moment.
Sl: Ideja o deljenju odra z Sabino ga je nekoliko pomirila.
En: The idea of sharing the stage with Sabina calmed him a little.
Sl: Nenazadnje, njen smeh in energija sta bila nalezljiva.
En: After all, her laughter and energy were infectious.
Sl: S pristankom je čutil majhno žarečo iskro poguma.
En: With agreement, he felt a small, glowing spark of courage.
Sl: "V redu," je počasi prikimal.
En: "Alright," he slowly nodded.
Sl: "Poskusiva."
En: "Let's try."
Sl: Ko se je dan prireditve približeval, sta Matej in Sabina vadila vse popoldne.
En: As the day of the event approached, Matej and Sabina practiced all afternoon.
Sl: Matej je igral preprosto, a lepo melodijo, medtem ko je Sabina plezala skozi prostor okoli njega.
En: Matej played a simple yet beautiful melody while Sabina danced around him.
Sl: Ko je trenutek končno prišel, je bil Matej še vedno živčen.
En: When the moment finally arrived, Matej was still nervous.
Sl: Avditorij je bil prepoln učiteljev in učencev, ki so nestrpno čakali na predstavitev mladih talentov.
En: The auditorium was packed with teachers and students eagerly awaiting the young talents' performances.
Sl: Ko je Matej sedel za klavir, so mu roke nekoliko zadrhtele.
En: As Matej sat at the piano, his hands trembled a little.
Sl: V hipu, ko je začel igrati, je njegova tesnoba začela naraščati.
En: In the instant he began to play, his anxiety started to rise.
Sl: Utripi njegovega srca so bili glasni v njegovih ušesih.
En: The beats of his heart were loud in his ears.
Sl: A potem se je zaslišal Sabinin veselej glas: "Zmoreš, Matej!"
En: But then Sabina's cheerful voice rang out: "You can do it, Matej!"
Sl: Sabina je zlahka stopila na oder.
En: Sabina easily stepped onto the stage.
Sl: Začela je plesati ob njegovem glasbenem spremljevanju.
En: She began to dance to his musical accompaniment.
Sl: Njeni mehki gibi so gladili Matejeve živce.
En: Her gentle movements soothed Matej's nerves.
Sl: Njena prisotnost je bila kot nežna pomirjujoča pesem.
En: Her presence was like a gentle, calming song.
Sl: Ko je igranje nadaljeval, je strah začel usihati.
En: As he continued to play, the fear began to wane.
Sl: Sabinin ples pa je oživel melodijo, ki je pritekala izpod njegovih prstov.
En: Sabina's dance brought the melody, flowing from his fingers, to life.
Sl: Skupaj sta z odra ustvarila pravo čarobnost, ki je očarala občinstvo.
En: Together, they created true magic on stage that captivated the audience.
Sl: Ko je melodija ugasnela, je avditorij zapolnil glasen aplavz.
En: When the melody faded, the auditorium filled with loud applause.
Sl: Stoječa ovacija je napolnila prostor.
En: A standing ovation filled the space.
Sl: Matej in Sabina sta se pogledala in se nasmehnila.
En: Matej and Sabina looked at each other and smiled.
Sl: Matej je vedel, da je ob podpori prijateljev vse mogoče.
En: Matej knew that with the support of friends, anything was possible.
Sl: Na koncu sta oba z veseljem odigrala še enkrat, tokrat pa Matejeva samozavest ni bila le občutek; postal je del njega.
En: In the end, they happily performed once more, this time with Matej's confidence being more than just a feeling; it became a part of him.
Sl: Tako sta skupaj stopila z odra, Matej zdaj z novo pridobljeno samozavestjo.
En: Thus, they stepped off the stage together, Matej now with newfound confidence.
Sl: Ugotovil je, da nastopi niso strašljivi, ko jih deliš s prijatelji.
En: He realized that performances aren't scary when shared with friends.
Sl: Sabina je odpihnila povsem nov veter v njegovo življenje, polno samozavesti in veselja v glasbi.
En: Sabina had blown a completely new wind into his life, full of confidence and joy in music.
Sl: In tako se je končalo pomladno šolsko leto, polno novega upanja in prijateljstva.
En: And so, the spring school year ended, full of new hope and friendship.

Sl: Zvok je bil nežen, skoraj neizrazit, kot šepet po vodi, ki se je odbijala od skrivnostnih stičišč pod jezerom Bled.
En: The sound was gentle, almost indistinct, like a whisper over water bouncing off the mysterious intersections beneath jezero Bled.
Sl: Moje srce je bilo na preži.
En: My heart was on alert.
Sl: Tomaž je bil poleg mene, njegove oči so bile napete.
En: Tomaž was beside me, his eyes tense.
Sl: Vse se je začelo kot preprosta ideja za šolski znanstveni projekt, vendar zdaj sva tukaj - v skrivnem laboratoriju, ki ga je obdajalo več, kot sva si lahko zamislila.
En: It all started as a simple idea for a school science project, but now we were here - in a secret laboratory surrounded by more than we could have imagined.
Sl: "Mateja," je zašepetal Tomaž, "spet si unaprej, previdno, da ne naletiš na kakšno nevarnost.
En: "Mateja," whispered Tomaž, "you're ahead again, be careful not to run into any danger."
Sl: " Pokimal je proti senčnim vogalom, kjer so se svetlikali kovinski kabli.
En: He nodded towards the shadowy corners where metallic cables glinted.
Sl: Zanimanje me je gnalo naprej, a morala sva biti tiho.
En: Curiosity drove me forward, but we had to be silent.
Sl: Hodniki laboratorija so šumeli kot svila, vsak moj korak je odmeval z občutkom nezadovoljstva.
En: The corridors of the laboratory rustled like silk, each step echoing with a sense of dissatisfaction.
Sl: "Nič ne bo narobe," sem dejala, skoraj prepričana.
En: "Nothing will go wrong," I said, almost convinced.
Sl: "Odkrila bova nekaj velikega.
En: "We will discover something big.
Sl: To bo naš najboljši projekt do zdaj!
En: This will be our best project yet!"
Sl: " Menila sem, da lahko zaupam Tomažu, da vidi, kako pomembna je ta priložnost.
En: I believed I could trust Tomaž to see how important this opportunity was.
Sl: Vedela sem, da mu ni bilo udobno, vendar še vedno je bil ob meni.
En: I knew he was uncomfortable, but he was still by my side.
Sl: Nekaj metrov naprej sva dosegla sobo, polno starodavnih naprav.
En: A few meters ahead, we reached a room full of ancient devices.
Sl: Plošče so bile pokrite z rjo, dokumenti so bili po večini nečitljivi.
En: The panels were covered with rust, and the documents were mostly unreadable.
Sl: Bilo je mračno, a nekako čudno lepo - vsak vdih je vseboval zgodbo iz preteklosti.
En: It was dark, yet somehow strangely beautiful - every breath contained a story from the past.
Sl: Nenadoma se je ena izmed luči, ki še vedno delovala, posvetila in osvetlila nekaj nenavadnega.
En: Suddenly, one of the lights that still worked came on and illuminated something unusual.
Sl: Objekt sredi sobe se je zdel kot nekakšna naprava iz prihodnosti.
En: An object in the middle of the room seemed like some kind of device from the future.
Sl: Tomaž me je previdno potegnil za rokav, a bila sem neustavljiva.
En: Tomaž cautiously tugged at my sleeve, but I was unstoppable.
Sl: Na tej točki je moja odločenost premagala njegov strah.
En: At this point, my determination overcame his fear.
Sl: "Poglej to!
En: "Look at that!"
Sl: " sem pokazala proti napravi.
En: I pointed towards the device.
Sl: "To bi lahko spremenilo vse, kar vemo.
En: "This could change everything we know."
Sl: ""Toda, če to odkrijemo," je odgovoril Tomaž po premoru, "bi lahko razkrilo več, kot lahko nosimo.
En: "But if we discover this," Tomaž responded after a pause, "it could reveal more than we can handle."
Sl: "Spoznala sem resnico njegovih besed.
En: I realized the truth in his words.
Sl: Biti drzen in radoveden je imelo svojo ceno.
En: Being bold and curious had its price.
Sl: Končno sva se odločila.
En: Finally, we decided.
Sl: Odločila sva se, da bova del tega, kar sva odkrila, vključila v najin projekt, a na način, ki ne bo izdal preveč o tem skritem prostoru.
En: We decided to include part of what we discovered in our project, but in a way that wouldn't reveal too much about this hidden space.
Sl: Zbegana, a odločna sva zapustila kletno kompleksnost laboratorija.
En: Confused but determined, we left the basement complexity of the laboratory.
Sl: Vonj po stoletni zemlji in hladu je zbledel, ko sva se približala izhodu.
En: The scent of century-old earth and cold faded as we approached the exit.
Sl: Svetloba dneva je bila osupljiva.
En: The daylight was dazzling.
Sl: Tekla sva, kot bi naju zasledovalo nekaj nevidnega.
En: We ran as if something invisible was chasing us.
Sl: Tomaž je postajal vse bolj pogumen, jaz pa sem postala bolj previdna.
En: Tomaž grew bolder, and I became more cautious.
Sl: Ko sva se vrnila v šolo, sva delila navdušenje nad najinim projektom.
En: When we returned to school, we shared our excitement about our project.
Sl: Vendar celotna resnica je ostala najina skrivnost.
En: However, the whole truth remained our secret.
Sl: Konec koncev sva bila bolj skrbna in razumela sva, kako pomembna je odgovornost pri iskanju znanja.
En: In the end, we were more careful and understood how important responsibility is in the pursuit of knowledge.
Sl: In tako je najina pustolovščina pod Blejskim jezerom postala najina skrita vadnica o pogumu in opreznosti.
En: And so, our adventure beneath Blejsko jezero became our hidden lesson about courage and precaution.

Story Transcript:
Sl: Spomladi v Ljubljani, ob prijetnem kavarniškem omizju, so se zbrali Anja, Matej in Ema.
En: In the spring in Ljubljana, at a pleasant café gathering, Anja, Matej, and Ema met.
Sl: Že od jutra je po Ljubljanici nežno pihljal veter, ki je obvijal mizice na nabrežju, kjer so ljudje uživali v vonju sveže kave in cvetličnih aranžmajev.
En: Since the morning, a gentle breeze blew along the Ljubljanica river, embracing the tables on the riverbank where people enjoyed the aroma of fresh coffee and floral arrangements.
Sl: Vzdušje je bilo toplo in sproščeno.
En: The atmosphere was warm and relaxed.
Sl: Anja je segla po skodelici in se sprijaznila s težkimi mislimi, ki so ji obremenjevale srce.
En: Anja reached for her cup and came to terms with the heavy thoughts weighing on her heart.
Sl: Pred nekaj dnevi je prejela sanjsko ponudbo za delo v tujini.
En: A few days ago, she received a dream job offer abroad.
Sl: Bila je razpeta med željo po avanturi in skrbjo za svojo družino ter prijatelje.
En: She was torn between the desire for adventure and concern for her family and friends.
Sl: "Kaj naj naredim?
En: "What should I do?"
Sl: " je vprašala Ema, svojo najbližjo prijateljico.
En: she asked Ema, her closest friend.
Sl: Matej, ki je sedel nasproti nje, je načel temo svojih mladostnih dni, ko je tudi sam odšel v tujino.
En: Matej, who sat across from her, brought up the subject of his younger days when he too went abroad.
Sl: "Najprej je bilo težko," je priznal, "ampak spoznal sem sebe in cenil svoj dom še bolj, ko sem se vrnil.
En: "At first, it was hard," he admitted, "but I got to know myself and appreciated my home even more when I came back."
Sl: "Anja se je zamislila.
En: Anja pondered.
Sl: Nikoli ni pomislila, da bi izkušnja v tujini lahko še bolj okrepila njena čustva do doma.
En: She had never thought that an experience abroad could strengthen her feelings toward home even more.
Sl: Kavarniška družba je bila mirna, v ozadju se je vriskalo žvrgolenje ptic, ko je Anja sprejela odločitev.
En: The café gathering was quiet, with the cheerful chirping of birds in the background, when Anja made her decision.
Sl: "Mislim, da bom sprejela službo," je nenadoma rekla, ne da bi mislila na posledice.
En: "I think I'll accept the job," she suddenly said, not thinking about the consequences.
Sl: Matej in Ema sta se spogledala in se nasmehnila, saj sta videla odločnost v njenem pogledu.
En: Matej and Ema exchanged glances and smiled, seeing the determination in her eyes.
Sl: Ko so se poslovili in odšli vsak na svojo pot, je Anja občutila olajšanje.
En: When they said their goodbyes and each went their separate ways, Anja felt relieved.
Sl: Vedela je, da bodo njene vezi s prijatelji in družino obstale.
En: She knew that her ties with friends and family would endure.
Sl: V njej se je razprla nova zaupnost.
En: A new confidence opened up inside her.
Sl: Sprememba ni bila več strašna, postala je vznemirljiva možnost rasti.
En: Change was no longer frightening; it became an exciting opportunity for growth.
Sl: Naj bo prihodnost še tako nepredvidljiva, je bila pripravljena.
En: No matter how unpredictable the future might be, she was ready.
Sl: Počasi je hodila ob Ljubljanici, pomirjena.
En: She walked slowly along the Ljubljanica, at peace.
Sl: Svet je bil velik, a njen dom je bil vedno del nje.
En: The world was vast, but her home was always a part of her.
Sl: Naslednji teden bo odšla, a nikoli ne pozabila, kaj jo veže k Ljubljani — ljubezen, ki vedno najde pot domov.
En: Next week she would leave, but she would never forget what binds her to Ljubljana — love, which always finds its way home.
