Story Transcript:

Sl: Pirančani verjamejo, da na sredi poletja sonce sveti bolj svetlo in toplo.
En: People of Piran believe that in the middle of summer, the sun shines brighter and warmer.

Sl: Na plaži v Piranu je živahno kot še nikoli prej.
En: The beach in Piran is livelier than ever.

Sl: Ljudje se hladijo v kristalno čistem Jadranskem morju.
En: People cool off in the crystal-clear Adriatic Sea.

Sl: Barvite senčnike krasijo plažo, medtem ko se sončniki preigravajo na pesku.
En: Colorful umbrellas adorn the beach, while children play in the sand.

Sl: Med gnečo sta dva reševalca: Maja in Luka.
En: Among the crowd are two lifeguards: Maja and Luka.

Sl: Maja je resna in natančna.
En: Maja is serious and precise.

Sl: Vedno misli najprej na varnost drugih.
En: She always thinks of others' safety first.

Sl: Luka je nasprotje njej.
En: Luka is her opposite.

Sl: Sproščen je in včasih morda celo malo preveč brezskrbno obravnava svoje dolžnosti.
En: He is relaxed and sometimes maybe even a bit too carefree about his duties.

Sl: Ampak v globini srca spoštuje Majino disciplino.
En: But deep down, he respects Maja's discipline.

Sl: Približuje se praznik Marijinega vnebovzetja.
En: The Feast of the Assumption is approaching.

Sl: Zaradi tega se je na plaži zbral še večji naval ljudi.
En: Because of this, even more people have gathered on the beach.

Sl: Maji srce bije hitro.
En: Maja's heart beats fast.

Sl: Skrbi jo, kako bo obvladala tako množico.
En: She worries about how she will handle such a crowd.

Sl: Poleg tega nosi v sebi skrito željo: želi povedati Luki, kaj čuti do njega.
En: Additionally, she carries a hidden desire: she wants to tell Luka how she feels about him.

Sl: Težko ji je izraziti čustva, saj se boji zavrnitve.
En: It is hard for her to express her feelings because she fears rejection.

Sl: Tudi Luka ima nekaj na vesti.
En: Luka also has something on his mind.

Sl: Občuduje, kako Maja skrbi za vse.
En: He admires how Maja takes care of everyone.

Sl: Vendar bi rad, da bi bila malo manj resna in več uživala v življenju.
En: However, he wishes she would be a little less serious and enjoy life more.

Sl: Sončni žarki se odbijajo od vodne gladine.
En: The sun's rays reflect off the water's surface.

Sl: Maja opazuje okolico.
En: Maja observes her surroundings.

Sl: Nekaj ni v redu.
En: Something is not right.

Sl: Vidi otroka, ki se igra v vodi.
En: She sees a child playing in the water.

Sl: Nenadoma valovi postanejo močnejši.
En: Suddenly, the waves become stronger.

Sl: Otrok je ujet v vodeni tok, ki ga potegne stran od obale.
En: The child is caught in the current and pulled away from the shore.

Sl: Maja zakriči: "Luka, hitro!
En: Maja shouts, "Luka, quickly!

Sl: Otrok je v nevarnosti!
En: The child is in danger!"

Sl: "Luka hitro skoči v vodo, a voda je močna.
En: Luka jumps into the water quickly, but the current is strong.

Sl: Maja brez oklevanja sledi.
En: Maja follows without hesitation.

Sl: Skupaj plavata proti otroku.
En: Together, they swim toward the child.

Sl: Luka prime otroka, medtem ko Maja pomaga usmerjati nazaj proti obali.
En: Luka grabs the child while Maja helps guide them back to the shore.

Sl: Po nekaj minutah borbe z valovi sta oba reševalca in otrok varno na obali.
En: After a few minutes of battling the waves, both lifeguards and the child are safely on the shore.

Sl: Maja objame otroka, ki je prestrašen, a nepoškodovan.
En: Maja hugs the child, who is scared but unharmed.

Sl: Starši tečejo k njemu, solze veselja v očeh.
En: The parents run to him, tears of joy in their eyes.

Sl: Po tem dramatičnem dogodku Maja in Luka zreta eden v drugega.
En: After this dramatic event, Maja and Luka gaze at each other.

Sl: Srce Maji bije hitreje, ne zaradi nevarnosti, ampak zaradi tega, kar hoče povedati.
En: Maja's heart beats faster, not because of the danger but because of what she wants to say.

Sl: "Luka," zašepeta, "moram ti nekaj povedati.
En: "Luka," she whispers, "I need to tell you something."

Sl: "Luka jo pogleda s prijaznimi očmi.
En: Luka looks at her with kind eyes.

Sl: "Maja, tudi jaz imam nekaj na srcu.
En: "Maja, I also have something on my mind."

Sl: ""Očaral si me," priznava Maja.
En: "You've captivated me," Maja admits.

Sl: "Oprosti, če sem bila včasih preveč stroga.
En: "I'm sorry if I've been too strict sometimes.

Sl: Skrbi me, ker mi je mar.
En: I worry because I care."

Sl: "Luka jo prime za roko.
En: Luka takes her hand.

Sl: "Ti si bila vedno tista, ki si me navdihnila, da postanem boljši.
En: "You've always been the one to inspire me to be better.

Sl: Cenim tvojo predanost.
En: I appreciate your dedication.

Sl: Rada te imam.
En: I love you."

Sl: "Maji se nasmeje.
En: Maja smiles.

Sl: Težak kamen ji pade iz srca.
En: A heavy weight is lifted from her heart.

Sl: Končno je povedala resnico.
En: She has finally told the truth.

Sl: In Luka jo sprejme, tako kot je.
En: And Luka accepts her just as she is.

Sl: Od tistega dne naprej Maja in Luka delata skupaj še bolj usklajeno.
En: From that day on, Maja and Luka work even more in harmony.

Sl: Luka postane bolj resen glede svojih dolžnosti, Maja pa se nauči, da je v redu, če včasih sprosti napetost.
En: Luka becomes more serious about his duties, and Maja learns that it's okay to relax sometimes.

Sl: Plaža v Piranu je še vedno živa in polna smeha, obiskovalci pa se počutijo varne v rokah dveh predanih reševalcev.
En: The beach in Piran remains lively and full of laughter, and visitors feel safe in the hands of two dedicated lifeguards.
