Sl: V Piran je bilo jesensko jutro.
En: In Piran, it was an autumn morning.
Sl: Sonce je nežno sijalo na ozke, zavite uličice čudovitega mesteca ob Jadranskem morju.
En: The sun softly shone on the narrow, winding streets of the beautiful little town by the Adriatic Sea.
Sl: Morje je mirno valovalo, vonj soli pa se je mešal z zvokom glasbe.
En: The sea calmly rippled, the scent of salt mingling with the sound of music.
Sl: Tartinijev festival, glasbeni dogodek, ki je slavil skladatelja Giuseppeja Tartinija, je prinesel živahnost in veselje v Piran.
En: The Tartinijev Festival, a musical event that celebrated the composer Giuseppe Tartini, brought liveliness and joy to Piran.
Sl: Matej, mladi študent glasbe, je hodil po kamnitih ulicah z violinistično torbo na ramenih.
En: Matej, a young music student, walked through the stone streets with a violin case on his shoulders.
Sl: V srcu je bil poln pričakovanja, a ga je spremljal tudi občutek negotovosti.
En: His heart was full of anticipation, but he also carried a sense of uncertainty.
Sl: Slišal je za Jano, priznano violinistko, in upal, da se bo kaj naučil od najboljših.
En: He had heard about Jana, a renowned violinist, and hoped to learn from the best.
Sl: Vendar ga je misel, da bi stopil do nje, napolnila s strahom.
En: However, the thought of approaching her filled him with fear.
Sl: "Lara," je rekel Matej, ko so se mu pridružili na Trgu tartinijev.
En: "Lara," said Matej, as they joined him at Tartinijev Square.
Sl: "Želim igrati kot Jana, a se bojim, da ne bom nikoli dovolj dober.
En: "I want to play like Jana, but I'm afraid I'll never be good enough."
Sl: "Lara mu je ponudila topel nasmeh.

Sl: Jana je samo človek.
En: Jana is just a human.
Sl: Pokaži ji, kaj znaš.
En: Show her what you can do."
Sl: "Lara je bila Matejeva prijateljica, ki je imela raje morske obale in ležerno sprehajanje ob morju.
En: Lara was Matej's friend, who preferred coastal walks and leisurely strolls by the sea.

En: He would approach Jana, no matter the cost.
Sl: Naslednji dan je bil miren.
En: The next day was calm.

En: Believe in yourself, as your friend told you."
