En: The mist rises over Lake Bled. Sl: Listje, obarvano v zlate in rjave odtenke, plava po mirni vodi. En: Leaves, colored in golden and brown hues, float on the calm water. Sl: Na otočku se kot stražar dviguje cerkev, obdana z zaveso megle. En: On the island, like a sentinel, the church rises, shrouded in a veil of mist. Sl: Na obali v daljavi se svetijo vrhovi Julijskih Alp, že rahlo pokriti s snežno odejo. En: In the distance on the shore, the peaks of the Julian Alps glisten, already slightly covered with a snowy blanket. Sl: Matej stoji ob obali, še vedno v mislih. En: Matej stands by the shore, lost in thought. Sl: Že odmalena sta se z Alenko srečevala tukaj, na ta dan. En: Since childhood, he and Alenka have met here on this day. Sl: Ob svetem Andreju izmenjata seznam želja in sanj za prihajajoče leto. En: On St. Andrew's day, they exchange lists of wishes and dreams for the coming year. Sl: Obljuba, sklenjena pred leti, sta najlepša vez in spomin na otroštvo. En: A promise made years ago is the most beautiful bond and memory of childhood. Sl: Danes pa je nekaj drugače. En: But today is different. Sl: Mostiček, ki vodi na njuno skrivališče, je včeraj nenadoma popustil. En: The small bridge leading to their hideout suddenly gave way yesterday. Sl: Poleg tega v zraku visi nevihta, nevihte se zbirajo nad jezerom. En: Moreover, a storm hangs in the air, storms gathering over the lake. Sl: Matej čuti veter, ki ga trese do kosti. En: Matej feels the wind shaking him to the bone. Sl: "Moram do nje," si misli. En: "I must reach her," he thinks to himself. Sl: Matej ve, da ni lahko prečkati jezera po drugi poti, a obljuba je obljuba. En: Matej knows it is not easy to cross the lake by another path, but a promise is a promise. Sl: Vedno je držal besedo. En: He has always kept his word. Sl: Matej začne hoditi po blatnem robu jezera. En: Matej starts walking along the muddy edge of the lake. Sl: Veter ga piha nazaj, a srce ga vleče naprej. En: The wind blows him back, but his heart pulls him forward. Sl: Sreča potok, ki divje drvi. En: He encounters a stream rushing wildly. Sl: Ogleduje si zamaknjene kamne, ki so delno potopljeni v vodo. En: He eyes the dislodged stones, partially submerged in water. Sl: Odloči se. En: He makes a decision. Sl: "Alenka," zakliče vase, "moram te videti danes. En: "Alenka," he calls within, "I must see you today." Sl: "S previdnostjo stopi naprej. En: With caution, he steps forward. Sl: Kamen za kamnom. En: Stone by stone. Sl: Vode ga škropijo, a ne ustavijo. En: The water splashes him, but it doesn't stop him. Sl: Veteran njegovih stopinj ga vedno bolj nosi naprej. En: The force of his determination carries him onward. Sl: Ko končno stopi na zadnji kamen, se zravna in pogleda proti cerkvi. En: When he finally steps onto the last stone, he straightens and looks toward the church. Sl: Alenka stoji na drugi strani. En: Alenka stands on the other side. Sl: Njene roke mahajo v zrak, obraz je osvetljen s svetlobo nevihte. En: Her hands wave in the air, her face illuminated by the storm's light. Sl: Iskri se jezero, a njene oči so tople. En: The lake sparkles, but her eyes are warm. Sl: Matej hiti k njej. En: Matej rushes to her. Sl: Noga zdrsne po mokrem terenu, vendar se obdrži pokonci. En: His foot slips on the wet ground, but he stays upright. Sl: Ko doseže obalo, ga Alenka objame. En: When he reaches the shore, Alenka embraces him. Sl: Oba se zasmejita in zasopeta od napora in veselja. En: Both laugh and gasp from exertion and joy. Sl: "Vedela sem, da boš prišel," reče Alenka. En: "I knew you would come," Alenka says. Sl: "Ni pomembno, koliko je ovir," Matej odgovori. En: "It doesn't matter how many obstacles there are," Matej replies. Sl: "Naša obljuba je pomembna. En: "Our promise is important." Sl: "Nevihta se umirja. En: The storm calms down. Sl: V vetru počeši listje med sabo, a mir in moč njune vezi sta močnejša. En: In the wind, the leaves brush against each other, but the peace and strength of their bond are stronger. Sl: Matej zdaj ve, da je vsak izziv premagljiv, če si ga deliš z nekom, ki te pozna do dna srca. En: Matej now knows that any challenge is conquerable if shared with someone who knows you to the depths of your heart. Sl: Sestavita sezname želja in sanj. En: They compile lists of wishes and dreams. Sl: Napolnita jih z upanjem. En: They fill them with hope. Sl: Ob jezeru Bled jima svetloba svetega Andreja znova prinese mir. En: By Lake Bled, the light of St. Andrew once again brings them peace. Sl: Tako začeta z otroškimi sanjami, zdaj močneje povezani, Matej in Alenka vesta, da bodo novi izzivi le del poti, ki jih povezuje. En: Having started with childhood dreams, now more strongly connected, Matej and Alenka know that
