Story Transcript:

Sl: Snežinke so nežno padale na Bled in ustvarjale belo preprogo okoli jezera.
En: Snowflakes gently fell on Bled, creating a white carpet around the lake.

Sl: Matej je z upanjem opazoval snežno pokrajino.
En: Matej watched the snowy landscape with hope.

Sl: Danes je bil praznik svetih treh kraljev, dan, ko se po lokalnih legendah duhovi prikažejo ljudem.
En: Today was the feast of the Three Wise Men, a day when, according to local legends, spirits reveal themselves to people.

Sl: Matej je stopil iz svoje hiše, oblečen v topel plašč.
En: Matej stepped out of his house wearing a warm coat.

Sl: Snežne sledi so ga pritegnile.
En: The snow trails intrigued him.

Sl: Bile so nedoločljive oblike, a velike in skrivnostne.
En: They were of an indeterminable shape, large and mysterious.

Sl: Vodule so s severne strani jezera proti gozdu.
En: They led from the northern side of the lake towards the forest.

Sl: Pridružila sta se mu Ana in Bojan.
En: He was joined by Ana and Bojan.

Sl: Ana je bila na obisku.
En: Ana was visiting, having come for the holiday.

Sl: Njena ljubezen do krajevnih navad se je mešala s skepticizmom.
En: Her love for local customs was mixed with skepticism.

Sl: Bojan, krajevni gozdar, je tiho spremljal dogajanje.
En: Bojan, the local forester, silently observed the scene.

Sl: "Matej, misliš, da so te sledi povezane z legendami?" je vprašala Ana, ko so hodili po snegu.
En: "Matej, do you think these tracks are connected to the legends?" asked Ana as they walked through the snow.

Sl: "Vsekakor," je odgovoril Matej z žarom v očeh.
En: "Certainly," replied Matej with a spark in his eyes.

Sl: "Stare legende pravijo, da duhovni koraki ostajajo vidni le na ta dan."
En: "Old legends say that spiritual footprints remain visible only on this day."

Sl: Ana je zavzdihnila.
En: Ana sighed.

Sl: "Ampak, zakaj bi jih sledili v gozd? Še posebej ob tako mrzlem vremenu."
En: "But why would we follow them into the forest? Especially in such cold weather."

Sl: Bojan je bil ves čas tiho.
En: Bojan remained silent all the time.

Sl: Njegove oči so pozorno pogledovale proti gozdu.
En: His eyes were vigilantly focused on the forest.

Sl: Njegovo znanje območja je bilo neprecenljivo.
En: His knowledge of the area was invaluable.

Sl: Nenadoma se je ustavil.
En: Suddenly, he stopped.

Sl: "Ali veš kaj o tem?" je Matej vprašal Bojana.
En: "Do you know anything about this?" Matej asked Bojan.

Sl: Bojan je prikimal.
En: Bojan nodded.

Sl: "Družina mi je pripovedovala zgodbe. Govorijo o starodavnem obredu.
En: "My family told me stories. They speak of an ancient ritual.

Sl: Duhovi se pokažejo le nevednežem.
En: Spirits appear only to the ignorant.

Sl: A ti koraki so opozorilo.
En: But these steps are a warning.

Sl: Nevarnost je blizu."
En: Danger is near."

Sl: Kljub Aninim pomislekom sta Matej in Bojan začela slediti stopinjam.
En: Despite Ana's concerns, Matej and Bojan began to follow the footprints.

Sl: Ana je nerada sledila.
En: Ana reluctantly followed.

Sl: Snežna pot se je vije v gozd.
En: The snowy path led into the forest.

Sl: Snežna zavesa, ki je pokrivala drevesa, jim je zaslonila pogled.
En: The snow curtain that covered the trees obstructed their view.

Sl: Skupina je nadaljevala pot.
En: The group continued on.

Sl: V gozdu je bil zrak težji.
En: In the forest, the air was heavier.

Sl: V daljavi so slišali zvoke.
En: In the distance, they heard sounds.

Sl: Glasovi, kot šepet iz preteklosti.
En: Voices, like whispers from the past.

Sl: Mateju je srce hitreje bilo.
En: Matej's heart beat faster.

Sl: Naenkrat je Bojan ustavil in se obrnil proti njima.
En: Suddenly, Bojan stopped and turned to them.

Sl: "Tu se obred običajno konča," je rekel.
En: "This is where the ritual usually ends," he said.

Sl: "Starodavni duhovi se vrnejo v senčne dežele."
En: "Ancient spirits return to the shadowy lands."

Sl: Matej in Ana sta se ozrla okoli.
En: Matej and Ana looked around.

Sl: Velike sledi so nenadoma izginile.
En: The large footprints suddenly disappeared.

Sl: Tišina je bila blagodejna in čarobna.
En: The silence was soothing and magical.

Sl: "Možno je, da je legenda resnična," je rekel Matej, s spoštovanjem v glasu.
En: "It’s possible that the legend is true," said Matej, with respect in his voice.

Sl: Ana je bila tiha.
En: Ana was silent.

Sl: Globoko v sebi je začutila čar preteklosti.
En: Deep inside, she felt the charm of the past.

Sl: Iskanje odgovorov je pogosto samo začetek potovanja.
En: Seeking answers is often just the beginning of the journey.

Sl: Ko so zapuščali gozd, so se tračnice v preteklost in sedanjost zbližale.
En: As they left the forest, the tracks between the past and the present drew closer.

Sl: Morda skrivnosti res ostanejo nerazrešene, a njihova povezanost z duhom kraja je ostala.
En: Perhaps mysteries indeed remain unresolved, but their connection to the spirit of the place endured.

Sl: Bila je to prijetna večera svetih treh kraljev.
En: It was a pleasant evening of the Three Wise Men.

Sl: Tišina in mir sta prevladovala okoli Blejskega jezera.
En: Silence and peace prevailed around Blejsko jezero.

Sl: Skupina se je vrnila z občutkom skrivnostne napetosti.
En: The group returned with a sense of mysterious tension.

Sl: Ana je bila zdaj bolj odprta.
En: Ana was now more open.

Sl: Matej se je naučil, da so nekatere uganke vredne raziskovanja, pa tudi če ostanejo nerazrešene.
En: Matej learned that some puzzles are worth exploring, even if they remain unsolved.

Sl: Zima je ob jezeru postajala vedno bolj skrivnostna, saj isprazni šepet preteklosti je odmeval v skrivnostih gozda.
En: Winter by the lake was becoming ever more mysterious, as the empty whisper of the past echoed in the secrets of the forest.
