Spomladansko jutro na Blejskem jezeru je bilo mirno in polno pričakovanj.

The spring morning at Blejsko jezero was calm and full of anticipation.

Tanja je stala na obali, dihajoč sveži zrak.

Tanja stood on the shore, breathing in the fresh air.

Vsako leto se tekmovanje v veslanju odvija na praznik dela.

Every year, the rowing competition takes place on Labor Day.

Letos je prvič sodelovala.

This year, she participated for the first time.

Jezeru so vladale smaragdne vode, obdane z mogočnimi Julijskimi Alpami.

The lake was dominated by emerald waters, surrounded by the majestic Julijske Alpe.

Nepremična gladina je kmalu postala preteklost.

The motionless surface soon became a thing of the past.

Temni oblaki so se bližali in z njimi grozeč vihar.

Dark clouds approached, bringing with them a threatening storm.

Tanja je zagnala čoln in začela tekmovati.

Tanja launched her boat and began to compete.

Bila je odločena, da zmaga.

She was determined to win.

Potrebovala je priznanje.

She needed recognition.

Priznanje, da je sposobna, da lahko.

Recognition that she was capable, that she could.

Začela je veslati s polno močjo.

She began rowing with full force.

Ob sebi je videla druge tekmovalce, Mateja in Ano, ki sta bila njena prijatelja.

Beside her, she saw other competitors, Matej and Ana, who were her friends.

Vedela sta, kako pomembna je ta tekma zanjo.

They knew how important this race was to her.

Nenadoma so prvi kapljici dežja padli na njeno lice.

Suddenly, the first raindrops fell on her face.

Tanja je pogledala v nebo in videla strele, ki so svetile nebo.

Tanja looked up at the sky and saw lightning illuminating it.

Valovi so začeli naraščati.

The waves began to rise.

Čoln se je zamajal.

The boat rocked.

Vedela je, da mora sprejeti odločitev.

She knew she had to make a decision.

Nadaljevati ali stopiti nazaj?

Continue or turn back?

Tanja se je odločila.

Tanja made her decision.

Pogledala je nazaj proti obali.

She looked back toward the shore.

Videl je Mateja in Ano, ki sta jo pozorno opazovala, pripravljena pomagati.

She saw Matej and Ana watching her intently, ready to help.

Odločila se je.

She made her choice.

Raje izgubiti tekmo kot sebe.

She preferred to lose the race rather than herself.

Obrnila je čoln proti obali.

She turned the boat toward the shore.

Valovi so jo premetavali, a Tanjina volja je bila močna.

The waves tossed her about, but Tanja's will was strong.

Veslala je v nevihti in borila se je z vsakim gibanjem vode.

She rowed through the storm, battling with every movement of the water.

Matej in Ana sta že stala na obali naproti.

Matej and Ana were already standing on the opposite shore.

Ko je prišla na varno, so jo objeli.

When she reached safety, they embraced her.

"Tanja, zmagala si," je rekel Matej.

"Tanja, you've won," said Matej.

"Ne tekma, ampak nekaj bolj pomembnega - tvoje življenje.

"Not the race, but something more important - your life."

" Ana je prikimala, dodala: "Vedno bomo tu zate.

Ana nodded, adding, "We'll always be here for you."

"Z jezera je zaslišala zvok zaključne sirene.

From the lake, the sound of the final siren was heard.

Tanja se je nasmehnila.

Tanja smiled.

Tokrat je spoznala, da ni pomembno, kaj si mislijo drugi.

This time she realized it didn't matter what others thought.

Pomembno je, da si zvest samemu sebi in vrednotiš prijatelje.

What was important was being true to yourself and valuing friends.

Blejsko jezero se je počasi umirjalo.

Blejsko jezero slowly calmed down.

Obala je bila polna ljudi, zvok glasbe in veselja je odmeval okrog.

The shore was full of people, the sound of music and joy echoed around.

Tanja je gledala v nebo, zdaj brez oblakov, s hvaležnostjo v srcu.

Tanja looked up at the sky, now cloudless, with gratitude in her heart.

Majski praznik dela je pridobil nov pomen.

The May Labor Day had gained new meaning.

Praznik življenja in prijateljstva.

A celebration of life and friendship.
