En: The spring sun shyly peeked through the clouds as Alenka, Matej, and Tjaša hurried to Tivoli Park after school. Sl: Bilo je 8. marec, mednarodni dan žena. En: It was March 8th, International Women's Day. Sl: Alenka je občudovala cvetlice, ki so se začele prebujati po dolgi zimi. En: Alenka admired the flowers that had begun to awaken after the long winter. Sl: Danes ni bil običajen dan; Alenka je organizirala dogodek v parku za ozaveščanje o podnebnih spremembah. En: Today was not an ordinary day; Alenka had organized an event in the park to raise awareness about climate change. Sl: Alenka se je ustavila pred velikim paviljonom v parku. En: Alenka stopped in front of the large pavilion in the park. Sl: "Mate, ali si prepričan, da bo vreme zdržalo?" je vprašala. En: "Mate, are you sure the weather will hold?" she asked. Sl: Matej, ki je imel rad načrtovanje, je pogledal proti nebu. En: Matej, who liked planning, looked up at the sky. Sl: "Ne vem, kakšna bo prihodnost, ampak mislim, da je paviljon dobra zaščita," se je nasmehnil. En: "I don't know what the future holds, but I think the pavilion is good protection," he smiled. Sl: Tjaša je prispela z nekaj knjigami o lokalnih rastlinah. En: Tjaša arrived with a few books about local plants. Sl: "Ne skrbi, Alenka," je rekla, "lahko se osredotočimo na dejavnosti, ki niso odvisne od vremena. En: "Don't worry, Alenka," she said, "we can focus on activities that aren't dependent on the weather. Sl: Poznate vse o rastlinah, kar je potrebno!" En: You know everything you need to about plants!" Sl: Dež je začel padati. En: Rain began to fall. Sl: Oblaki so se zgostili nad Ljubljano. En: The clouds thickened over Ljubljana. Sl: Kljub temu je Alenka vztrajala. En: Nonetheless, Alenka persisted. Sl: Skupaj z Matejem in Tjašo je postavila mize pod paviljon. En: Together with Matej and Tjaša, she set up tables under the pavilion. Sl: Razpeli so plakate, ki so prikazovali, kako lahko mali koraki prispevajo k večji okoljski spremembi. En: They hung posters illustrating how small steps can contribute to a larger environmental change. Sl: Nato je prišla prva oseba. En: Then the first person arrived. Sl: Potem še dve. En: Then two more. Sl: Navdušeni in s pisanimi dežniki so se ljudje začeli zbirati pod zavetjem paviljona. En: Excited and with colorful umbrellas, people began to gather under the shelter of the pavilion. Sl: Alenka je začela govoriti. En: Alenka started speaking. Sl: "Podnebne spremembe so resnične in mi, kot mladi, lahko naredimo razliko," je rekla. En: "Climate change is real, and we, as young people, can make a difference," she said. Sl: Glasovi obiskovalcev so se stopili z zvokom dežja. En: The voices of the visitors blended with the sound of the rain. Sl: Dogodek je bil presenetljiv uspeh. En: The event was a surprising success. Sl: Ljudje so se pogovarjali o projektih, kako zmanjšati odpadke, in ohranjati naravo. En: People discussed projects on how to reduce waste and preserve nature. Sl: Matej in Tjaša sta vodila delavnice o lokalnih rastlinah in mestnem načrtovanju. En: Matej and Tjaša led workshops on local plants and urban planning. Sl: Alenka je začutila, kako samozavest narašča. En: Alenka felt her confidence growing. Sl: Na koncu dneva so se vsi udeleženci zahvalili Alenki za njeno vizijo in trud. En: By the end of the day, all the participants thanked Alenka for her vision and effort. Sl: Ko so se oblaki razredčili in je sonce posijalo, je Alenka občutila moč sodelovanja in prilagodljivosti. En: As the clouds parted and the sun shone through, Alenka felt the power of collaboration and adaptability. Sl: Naslednjič, ko je nevihta pretila, je vedela, da bo našla način, da uspe. En: The next time a storm threatened, she knew she'd find a way to succeed. Sl: Z nasmehom na obrazu je pogledala svoje prijatelje: "Uspelo nam je. En: With a smile on her face, she looked at her friends: "We did it. Sl: Mislim, da sva mladi sposobni veliko več, kot mislimo!" En: I think we young people are capable of much more than we think!" Sl: Vse je bilo mogoče, ko so bili skupaj. En: Anything was possible when they were together. Sl: In ko se je dan končal, so vedeli, da bodo pustili za seboj svetlejši svet. En: And as the day ended, they knew they would leave behind a brighter world.

    Capes, Chickens, and Celebration: A Farm's Springtime Surprise

    Fluent Fiction - Slovenian: Capes, Chickens, and Celebration: A Farm's Springtime Surprise Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more: fluentfiction.com/sl/episode/2026-03-08-07-38-19-sl Story Transcript: Sl: Na kmetiji, kjer se zrak meša z vonjem cvetočih divjih cvetov in na bližnjih hribih melodijami ptičjega petja, se brata in sestra zavedata, da je prihod pomladi že tu. En: On the farm, where the air mingles with the scent of blooming wildflowers and the nearby hills echo with melodies of birdsong, a brother and sister become aware that the arrival of spring is already here. Sl: Mateja in Žiga sta živela skupaj na kmetiji, kjer sta obdelovala polja in skrbela za živali. En: Mateja and Žiga lived together on the farm, where they tended the fields and cared for the animals. Sl: A Mateja ni bila le marljiva kmetica, ampak tudi nepričakovani vir smeha in presenečenj. En: But Mateja was not only a diligent farmer; she was also an unexpected source of laughter and surprises. Sl: Bilo je zgodnje spomladansko jutro na kmetiji. En: It was an early spring morning on the farm. Sl: Mateja se je odločila, da bo letos na Mednarodni dan žensk nekaj posebnega. En: Mateja decided that this year, for International Women's Day, she would do something special. Sl: Žiga je veliko vedel o živinoreji in kmetovanju, vendar ni pričakoval, da ga bo sestra kdaj presenetila z njim neznanimi stvarmi. En: Žiga knew a lot about livestock and farming, but he never expected his sister to surprise him with things unfamiliar to him. Sl: Zato je Mateja v kuhinji sedela, navihana kot vedno, in pripravljala majhne ogrinjala iz pisanih kosov blaga. En: So, Mateja sat in the kitchen, as mischievous as ever, preparing small capes from colorful pieces of cloth. Sl: Ko je dan nastopil, je Mateja zvito zvezala ogrinjala okrog svojih kokoši. En: As the day broke, Mateja cunningly tied the capes around her chickens. Sl: Bila so res čudovita, v rdeči, plavi in zeleni barvi. En: They were truly beautiful, in red, blue, and green. Sl: Kokoši so izgledale prav praznično in nenavadno. En: The chickens looked quite festive and unusual. Sl: Žiga, ki je vedno ljubil novosti in posebno reja, zvinšal kokošnjak. En: Žiga, who always loved novelties and special breeds, peeked into the chicken coop. Sl: Njegove oči so se zasvetile. En: His eyes lit up. Sl: "Kaj pa so to za ene kokoši? En: "What kind of chickens are these?" Sl: " je vprašal z odprtimi usti. En: he asked, mouth agape. Sl: "To so posebna pasma, Žiga," mu je odgovorila Mateja s prikritim nasmehom. En: "These are a special breed, Žiga," Mateja replied with a concealed smile. Sl: "Pravim jim 'modne kokoši'. En: "I call them 'fashion chickens.' Sl: Si že slišal za kaj takega? En: Have you ever heard of such a thing?" Sl: "Žiga je bil navdušen in poln pohval. En: Žiga was thrilled and full of praise. Sl: Njegova sestra je bila res prava umetnica! En: His sister was truly an artist! Sl: Oddrsal je do vaške trgovine in povedal vselej sosedom, da ima na kmetiji modne kokoši, ki bodo postavile novo tradicijo. En: He skated over to the village store and told all the neighbors that he had fashionable chickens on the farm that would set a new tradition. Sl: Mateja je uživala v bratovem navdušenju, a vedela je, da veselja ne sme trajati predolgo. En: Mateja enjoyed her brother's enthusiasm but knew the joy shouldn't last too long. Sl: Nekaj dni kasneje, ko je Žiga povabil nepričakovane goste na ogled svojih "posebnih" kokoši, so ogrinjala začela padati. En: A few days later, when Žiga invited unexpected guests to see his "special" chickens, the capes started to fall off. Sl: V trenutku je okoli kokošnjaka nastopil smeh. En: Laughter erupted around the chicken coop. Sl: Mateja je stopila korak naprej in priznala: "Priznam! En: Mateja took a step forward and confessed, "I admit it! Sl: Bila je šala, v čast Mednarodnega dneva žensk! En: It was a joke, in honor of International Women's Day!" Sl: " Obrnila se je k Žigi in se opravičila. En: She turned to Žiga and apologized. Sl: "Želela sem, da razumeš, kako pomembne so ženske v tvojem življenju. En: "I wanted you to understand how important women are in your life." Sl: "Pogledala je svojega brata, medtem ko so se vsi smejali. En: She looked at her brother while everyone laughed. Sl: "No, zdaj je vse jasno," je dejal Žiga, oči pa so se lesketale od smeha. En: "Well, now it’s all clear," said Žiga, his eyes twinkling with laughter. Sl: "Moja sestra me je tokrat znova presenetila. En: "My sister has surprised me once again." Sl: "Nato je Žiga po premisleku organiziral manjše druženje na kmetiji, kjer so slavili ženske v svojih življenjih. En: After some thought, Žiga organized a small gathering on the farm to celebrate the women in their lives. Sl: Mateja se je zadovoljno smehljala, saj je njen namen dosegel cilj: Žiga je ne le našel novo spoštovanje do žensk, ampak je tudi priznal, kako pomembne so takšne majhne, a pomembne priložnosti. En: Mateja smiled contentedly, as her intention had reached its goal: Žiga not only found a new respect for women but also acknowledged how important such small, yet significant occasions are. Sl: Pomlad je nadaljevala s svojim plamenitim razcvetom, medtem ko so Mateja, Žiga in njihovi gostje uživali v smehu in praznovanju, ki ga je podžgala porodna šala na skromni, cvetni kmetiji. En: Spring continued its noble bloom as Mateja, Žiga, and their guests enjoyed the laughter and celebration sparked by a playful prank on the modest, floral farm.

    Fluent Fiction - Slovenian: A Special Spring Quest: Friendship at Tivoli Market Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more: fluentfiction.com/sl/episode/2026-03-07-23-34-02-sl Story Transcript: Sl: Mateja in Rok sta hodila po Tivoliju, kjer je bil postavljen živahen tržnični dan. En: Mateja and Rok were walking through Tivoli, where a lively market day was taking place. Sl: Zrak je bil hladen, a sonce je začelo topiti zmrzal na tleh. En: The air was cold, but the sun was beginning to melt the frost on the ground. Sl: Božajoča svetloba je svetila na pisane stojnice, ki so ponujale prve pomladne pridelke. En: The soothing sunlight shone on colorful stalls offering the first spring produce. Sl: "Moram najti najbolj sveža živila," je rekla Mateja z iskrivimi očmi, "babici želim pripraviti nekaj posebnega za Dan žena." En: "I need to find the freshest produce," Mateja said with sparkling eyes, "I want to prepare something special for my grandmother for International Women's Day." Sl: Rok je zavzdihnil. "Mateja, saj veš, da je še zima. Ni tako lahko najti sveže zelenjave." En: Rok sighed. "Mateja, you know it's still winter. It's not that easy to find fresh vegetables." Sl: "Vem," je odgovorila Mateja, "ampak pripravljena sem poiskati. Stojnica po stojnici." En: "I know," Mateja replied, "but I'm ready to look. Stall by stall." Sl: Trgovci so postavljali svoje blago. Jabolka, krompir, med... a vsega ni bilo v izobilju. En: The traders were setting up their goods. Apples, potatoes, honey... but not everything was abundant. Sl: Mateja je pregledovala vsako mizo z zbranostjo in ojačeno energijo. En: Mateja examined each table with focus and renewed energy. Sl: Rok ji je sledil, včasih pa se je zamaknjen naslonil na lesene ograje okoli parkov. En: Rok followed her, sometimes leaning entranced against the wooden fences around the park. Sl: Ko sta končno našla stojnico s svežo špinačo in zgodnjimi čebulicami, je Mateja zavpila od veselja. "Rok, poglej to! To je to, kar rabim!" En: When they finally found a stall with fresh spinach and early onions, Mateja shouted with joy. "Rok, look at this! This is exactly what I need!" Sl: Starejši gospod za stojnico je zmajal z glavo. "Žal, imam le majhno količino. Večina je že šla." En: The elderly gentleman at the stall shook his head. "I'm sorry, I only have a small quantity. Most of it is already sold." Sl: Rok je hitro stopil naprej. "Gospod, bi lahko morda naredili kakšno izjemo? Pripravljava nekaj posebnega za Dan žena." En: Rok quickly stepped forward. "Sir, could you perhaps make an exception? We're preparing something special for International Women's Day." Sl: Gospod se je namuznil in pomislil. Nato prikimal. "Za posebne čase lahko naredim izjemo." En: The gentleman smirked and thought for a moment. Then he nodded. "For special occasions, I can make an exception." Sl: Skupaj sta nabrala dovolj sestavin. Mateja je bila polna hvaležnosti. "Rok, brez tebe ne bi uspelo. Hvala." En: Together they gathered enough ingredients. Mateja was full of gratitude. "Rok, I couldn't have done it without you. Thank you." Sl: Ko sta hodila iz parka, je oba objela tiha razumevanje in spoštovanje. En: As they walked out of the park, a silent understanding and respect enveloped them both. Sl: Rok je opazoval Matejo s toplino v očeh, medtem ko je ona prvič pomislila, kako dragocen prijatelj je bil bil. En: Rok watched Mateja with warmth in his eyes, while she, for the first time, realized how precious a friend he had been. Sl: Morda ni povedal vrtinca svojih čustev, a zdaj ga ni bilo strah pokazati, koliko mu pomeni. En: He might not have expressed the whirlwind of his emotions, but now he wasn't afraid to show how much she meant to him. Sl: Kajti v svetu, kjer improvizacija pogosto premaga načrte, so iskrena čustva redka kot cvetlice spomladi v pozni zimi. En: For in a world where improvisation often conquers plans, genuine emotions are as rare as spring flowers in late winter.

En: That evening, Matej prepared a wonderful feast. Sl: Ob svečah in cvetju, ki ju je prinesel iz tržnice, je Anjo pričakala večerja presenečenja. En: With candles and flowers he had brought from the market, he greeted Anja with a surprise dinner. Sl: Anja je bila ganjena in ga je objela z nasmehom. En: Anja was touched and hugged him with a smile. Sl: Matej je spoznal, kako posebna je tržnica in ljudje v njej. En: Matej realized how special the market and the people in it were.

En: Rok held his breath as he stepped into the dark corridors of Predjama Castle. Sl: Za njim je hitela Tina, ki je veselo prepevala pesem in se smehljala. En: Behind him hurried Tina, who was cheerfully singing a song and smiling. Sl: Kljub zimi je bil zrak v gradu prijetno topel, poln vonja po zgodovini in skrivnostih. En: Despite the winter, the air in the castle was pleasantly warm, full of the scent of history and mysteries. Sl: "Pridi hitro, Tina," ji je zašepetal. En: "Come quickly, Tina," he whispered to her. Sl: "Morava najti pravo mesto za izmenjavo." En: "We need to find the right place for the exchange." Sl: Tina je pokimala in pohitela naprej. En: Tina nodded and hurried forward. Sl: Na steni je bila prilepljena stara karta, ki naj bi jih peljala do skrivnega prostora. En: On the wall, there was an old map stuck that was supposed to lead them to the secret place. Sl: Toda vse je bilo videti kot zmešnjava vijugastih črt in čudnih simbolov. En: But everything looked like a jumble of winding lines and strange symbols. Sl: "To nima nobenega smisla," je rekla Tina in se zasmejala. En: "This makes no sense," said Tina and laughed. Sl: "Mogoče je to del zabave!" En: "Maybe that's part of the fun!" Sl: Rok je zamišljeno pokimal. En: Rok nodded thoughtfully. Sl: "Saj res. En: "Indeed. Sl: A naj bo, slediva karti." En: But let's follow the map." Sl: Hodnika sta se vila levo in desno, zvoki korakov so odmevali po starodavnih kamnitih zidovih. En: The corridors wound left and right, and the sounds of footsteps echoed off the ancient stone walls. Sl: Ko sta končno prispela do velikih lesenih vrat, sta vedela, da sta blizu. En: When they finally arrived at the large wooden door, they knew they were close. Sl: "Mora biti tukaj!" je rekla Tina navdušeno in potisnila vrata. En: "It must be here!" Tina said excitedly and pushed the door. Sl: Odprla sta jih in vstopila v veliko podzemno sobo. En: They opened it and entered a large underground room. Sl: Na lesenih policah na stenah so žarele sveče, sredi sobe pa je bila velika miza, prekrita z najrazličnejšimi siri. En: On the wooden shelves on the walls, candles glowed, and in the center of the room was a large table covered with various cheeses. Sl: Rok je imel v torbi svoje slovenske sire – tolminc, mohant in goriški bunker. En: Rok had in his bag his Slovenian cheeses—tolminc, mohant, and goriški bunker. Sl: Toda tu je bilo tudi veliko drugih – camembert iz Francije, gorgonzola iz Italije, cheddar iz Anglije. En: But there were many others too—camembert from France, gorgonzola from Italy, cheddar from England. Sl: "Takšna zmešnjava!" je vzkliknil Rok. En: "What a mess!" Rok exclaimed. Sl: "Kako naj se osredotočiva na izmenjavo, če se siri tako mešajo?" En: "How are we supposed to focus on the exchange with the cheeses all mixed up?" Sl: Tina je dvignila gorgonzolo in se zarezala. En: Tina picked up the gorgonzola and grinned. Sl: "Mislim, da bodo naši gostje veseli tudi tega!" je rekla in pomežiknila. En: "I think our guests will be happy with this too!" she said and winked. Sl: "Mogoče bi lahko naredila mali festival sirov!" En: "Maybe we could organize a little cheese festival!" Sl: Nenadoma je padel kos sira na tla. En: Suddenly, a piece of cheese fell to the floor. Sl: In nato še en ... in še en. En: And then another... and another. Sl: Rok in Tina sta poskušala rešiti situacijo, a kmalu se je po sobi valjala cela količina srednje velikih sirnih glav. En: Rok and Tina tried to fix the situation, but soon a whole bunch of medium-sized cheese wheels were rolling across the room. Sl: Zvoki so privabili skupino turistov, ki so s smehom stopili v prostor. En: The sounds attracted a group of tourists, who entered the room laughing. Sl: "Mmm, kako diši!" je vzkliknila ena od gospa. En: "Mmm, how fragrant!" exclaimed one of the ladies. Sl: Rok in Tina sta se spogledala in skupaj sta se zasmejala. En: Rok and Tina looked at each other and laughed together. Sl: "Pa naj bo," je rekel Rok in pokazal na mizo. En: "So be it," said Rok and pointed to the table. Sl: "Pridružite se nam!" En: "Join us!" Sl: Vsa soba se je napolnila s smehom in klepetom, ko so vsi poskušali različne sire. En: The entire room filled with laughter and chatter as everyone tried different cheeses. Sl: Rok je naposled popustil in se nasmehnil: "Mislil sem, da bo to strogo zaupna izmenjava. En: Rok finally relented and smiled: "I thought this would be a strictly confidential exchange. Sl: A morda je boljše deliti." En: But maybe it's better to share." Sl: Tina se je naslonila na mizo in pogledala prijatelja. En: Tina leaned on the table and looked at her friend. Sl: "Vidiš, včasih so najboljše situacije tiste, ki jih nismo načrtovali." En: "You see, sometimes the best situations are those we didn't plan." Sl: In tako sta Rok in Tina zaključila dan. En: And so Rok and Tina concluded the day. Sl: Njuna sprva resna misija je postala vesel dogodek, obogaten s skromnostjo in smehom, kjer sta spoznala, da je vredno deliti svoje strasti z drugimi. En: Their initially serious mission became a joyful event, enriched with modesty and laughter, where they realized it was worth sharing their passions with others. Sl: Vsi so odšli domov bogatejši za eno izkušnjo in, seveda, za okusni kos sira. En: Everyone went home richer for the experience and, of course, with a tasty piece of cheese.

En: Matej was walking along the narrow path by Blejsko jezero (Lake Bled). Sl: Roke so mu bile potopljene v žepih lahke jakne. En: His hands were tucked into the pockets of his light jacket. Sl: Bila je zgodnja pomlad, zrak je bil hladen, toda sonce je dalo obljubo o toplejših dnevih. En: It was early spring, the air was cool, but the sun promised warmer days. Sl: Matej je bil domačin in ta kotiček sveta mu je pomenil vse. En: Matej was a local, and this corner of the world meant everything to him. Sl: Po nedavni razočaranju v ljubezni je našel zatočišče v fotografiji. En: After a recent heartbreak, he found refuge in photography. Sl: Puhasti oblaki nad jezerom so bili odraz njegovih misli. En: The fluffy clouds above the lake were a reflection of his thoughts. Sl: Ana je stala ob obali, v rokah je držala fotoaparat. En: Ana was standing by the shore, holding a camera in her hands. Sl: Bila je novinarka, ki je na Bled prišla po zgodbo. En: She was a journalist who had come to Bled for a story. Sl: Jezero jo je očaralo, a bila je skeptična do romantike, ki jo je kraj izžareval. En: The lake enchanted her, yet she was skeptical about the romance the place exuded. Sl: Poklicali so jo zaradi njenih predhodnih člankov, ki so znali ujeti dušo kraja. En: She had been called in because of her previous articles, which captured the soul of the place. Sl: Nekega dne, ko je slonela ob ograji in opazovala mirno vodo, se je Matej opogumil. En: One day, as she leaned on the railing observing the calm water, Matej gathered his courage. Sl: »Živjo,« je rekel. En: "Hello," he said. Sl: »Vidim, da imate enako ljubezen do fotografije kot jaz. En: "I see you have the same love for photography as I do. Sl: Sem Matej. En: I'm Matej. Sl: Lokalni vodič. En: A local guide." Sl: «Ana ga je pogledala. En: Ana looked at him. Sl: Sprva je bila zadržana, a Matej je imel nekaj v očeh, kar jo je pritegnilo. En: At first, she was reserved, but there was something in Matej's eyes that intrigued her. Sl: Njegova ponuda ji je bila mamljiva, čeprav ni iskala družbe. En: His offer was tempting, although she wasn’t seeking company. Sl: »Jaz sem Ana. En: "I'm Ana. Sl: Novinarka. En: A journalist. Sl: Tukaj sem zaradi zgodbe o jezeru. En: I’m here for a story about the lake." Sl: «Matej je videl priložnost. En: Matej saw an opportunity. Sl: »Lahko vam pokažem nekaj skritih kotičkov jezera. En: "I can show you some hidden corners of the lake. Sl: Umirjenih krajev, ki jih turisti ne poznajo. En: Peaceful places tourists don’t know about." Sl: «Ana je oklevala, nato pa privolila. En: Ana hesitated but then agreed. Sl: Naslednji dnevi so bili polni sprehodov in odkritij. En: The following days were full of walks and discoveries. Sl: Matej ji je razkazoval jezero, vodič pa je postal tudi prijatelj. En: Matej showed her the lake, and the guide became a friend. Sl: Ana je s svojim fotoaparatom lovila trenutke, Matej pa je v njenih očeh našel novo perspektivo. En: Ana captured moments with her camera, and Matej found a new perspective in her eyes. Sl: Gregor, Matejev prijatelj, ga je spodbujal. En: Gregor, Matej's friend, encouraged him. Sl: »To je dobra priložnost,« je rekel. En: "This is a good opportunity," he said. Sl: »Morda ti Ana pomaga ponovno verjeti v ljubezen. En: "Maybe Ana will help you believe in love again." Sl: «Na večer pred dnevom žena je Matej povabil Ano na križarjenje proti Blejskemu otoku. En: On the evening before International Women’s Day, Matej invited Ana on a cruise to Blejski otok (Lake Bled's island). Sl: Sončni zahod je jezero obarval z zlatimi odtenki. En: The sunset painted the lake in golden hues. Sl: Na ladjici sta molče opazovala, kako se svetloba preliva po vodi. En: On the boat, they silently watched the light play on the water. Sl: »Tvoje fotografije ujamejo več kot samo pokrajino,« je Matej tiho dejal. En: "Your photos capture more than just the landscape," Matej said quietly. Sl: »Vidim, da vidiš svet v barvah, ki jih drugi ne vidijo. En: "I see that you see the world in colors others don’t." Sl: «Ana se je prvič nasmehnila tako sproščeno. En: Ana smiled in such a relaxed way for the first time. Sl: Skozi objektiv je počasi pričela videti Matejevo dušo. En: Through her lens, she slowly began to see Matej's soul. Sl: Nenadoma je občutila, da to ni le službena naloga, ampak nekaj več. En: Suddenly, she felt that this was more than just a work assignment. Sl: Ko se je ladjica vrnila, je Ana vedela, da bo članek poseben. En: When the boat returned, Ana knew that the article would be special. Sl: Travmatični dogodki v preteklosti so izgubili svojo moč proti trenutkom, polnim lepote in sprejemanja. En: Traumatic events from the past had lost their power against moments full of beauty and acceptance. Sl: Ko je prišel čas slovesa, je Ana stala z Matejem ob obali. En: When the time came for goodbyes, Ana stood with Matej by the shore. Sl: »Hvala, Matej,« je rekla. En: "Thank you, Matej," she said. Sl: »Več kot članek, si mi dal nekaj, kar bom vedno nosila v sebi. En: "More than just an article, you’ve given me something I will always carry within me." Sl: «Matej je bil hvaležen in odprt, z novo ugotovljenim optimizmom. En: Matej was grateful and open, with newfound optimism. Sl: »Hvala tebi, Ana. En: "Thank you, Ana. Sl: Naučila si me videti življenje skozi bolj živahne barve. En: You taught me to see life in more vibrant colors." Sl: «Ana je zapustila Bled, v srcu nosila ne le zgodbo o jezeru, ampak tudi nežno prižgano upanje. En: Ana left Bled, carrying not just a story about the lake in her heart, but also a gently ignited hope. Sl: Z bledom sta oba našla novo poglavje v življenju. En: With Bled, both found a new chapter in life. Sl: Matej ni bil več samotar, Ana pa je v srcu pustila prostor za romantiko. En: Matej was no longer a loner, and Ana left room in her heart for romance.

En: The cold wind swirls light snow dust through the streets of Ljubljane. Sl: Mateja stoji ob oknu v sirotišnici. En: Mateja stands by the window in the orphanage. Sl: Velike oči zrejo v daljavo, umazane sledi prstov pa se rišejo po steklu, skrbno držeč fotografijo. En: Her large eyes gaze into the distance while dirty fingerprints draw patterns on the glass, carefully holding a photograph. Sl: Na njej je deklica s temnimi lasmi, ki se smehlja. En: In it is a girl with dark hair, smiling. Sl: To je njena sestra. En: That's her sister. Sl: Mateja je komaj kaj starejša od deklice na sliki. En: Mateja is barely any older than the girl in the picture. Sl: Njene sanje so, da bi jo našla. En: Her dream is to find her. Sl: Vsako noč v mislih riše načrt. En: Every night she draws a plan in her mind. Sl: "Mateja," tiho reče Bojan, "a si prepričana, da želiš to narediti? En: "Mateja," Bojan quietly says, "are you sure you want to do this?" Sl: "Mateja se obrne. En: Mateja turns around. Sl: Bojan in Tina stojita pri vratih. En: Bojan and Tina are standing by the door. Sl: Prijatelji so ji v oporo. En: Her friends are her support.

Sl: Skrivaj se splazijo iz sirotišnice čez vrt, čez nizke ograje in na mestne ulice. En: Secretly, they slip out of the orphanage, through the garden, over low fences, and onto the city streets. Sl: Mateja vodi. En: Mateja leads. Sl: Ima eno sled – majhno kavarno, ki se je Megla Sanj imenuje. En: She has one lead—the small café called Megla Sanj. Sl: "Pridi, Bojan, Tina," šepne Mateja, "blizu smo. En: "Come on, Bojan, Tina," Mateja whispers, "we're close." Sl: "Po nekaj zavitih ulicah se končno prikaže kavarniška tabla. En: After a few winding streets, the café's sign finally appears. Sl: Matejino srce bije hitro. En: Mateja's heart beats fast. Sl: Zagleda vrata rahlo priprta in mehak sijaj svetilke v notranjosti. En: She sees the door slightly ajar and the soft glow of a lamp inside. Sl: Pogumno vstopi. En: Bravely, she enters. Sl: Za pultom stoji lastnik, starejši gospod z brki. En: Behind the counter stands the owner, an elderly gentleman with a mustache. Sl: V trenutku, ko jo zagleda, se mu razleže nasmeh po obrazu. En: The moment he sees her, a smile spreads across his face. Sl: "Ti si zagotovo Mateja," reče prijazno. En: "You must be Mateja," he says kindly. Sl: Mateja osuplo pogleda. En: Mateja looks astonished. Sl: "Kako veste moje ime? En: "How do you know my name?" Sl: ""Pokaži mi sliko, ki jo imaš," ji reče. En: "Show me the picture you're holding," he says to her. Sl: Ko vidi fotografijo, prikima. En: When he sees the photograph, he nods. Sl: "Tukaj je prihajala tvoja sestra. En: "Your sister used to come here. Sl: Včasih se je pogovarjala z mano. En: Sometimes she talked with me." Sl: "Matejini očesi zablestita od sreče in upanja. En: Mateja's eyes shine with happiness and hope. Sl: "Prosim, veste, kje je zdaj?
