Sončni žarki so se razlivali po vinogradu, ko je Anže stal med starimi trtami v Goriških Brdih.

The sun's rays spread over the vineyard as Anže stood among the old vines in Goriška Brda.

Bil je čas trgatve, trenutek, ko se družina zbere in praznuje dediče z leti trdega dela, ujetega v vsakem zrnju grozdja.

It was harvest time, a moment when the family gathers to celebrate the legacy of years of hard work, captured in every grape.

V zraku je dišalo po sladkih grozdnih jagodah, povsod naokrog se je slišal smeh in klepet.

The air was filled with the scent of sweet grapes, and laughter and chatter could be heard all around.

Anže je gledal čez hribi in razmišljal o svoji prihodnosti.

Anže looked across the hills and pondered his future.

Vedel je, da pričakujejo, da bo prevzel skrb za vinograd.

He knew that expectations were for him to take over the care of the vineyard.

Najstarejši bratranec, ki naj bi ostal in skrbel za trte, tako kot njegovi starši in stari starši pred njim.

The eldest cousin, who was supposed to stay and care for the vines, just like his parents and grandparents before him.

A v njegovem srcu je tlela druga želja - življenje v mestu, delo v tehnologiji, nekaj, kar ga je vedno zanimalo.

But in his heart, another desire lingered - a life in the city, a career in technology, something that had always interested him.

Lana, njegova mlajša sestra, je veselo skakala med vrstami, polna energije in želje po raziskovanju sveta zunaj domačega vinograda.

Lana, his younger sister, was joyfully skipping between the rows, full of energy and a desire to explore the world beyond the family vineyard.

"Anže, pridi!" je veselo vzkliknila, ko je zagledala, da se ne premakne z mesta.

"Anže, come on!" she called out cheerfully when she saw him standing still.

Miha, bratranec, ki se je vrnil iz tujine, je pristopil k Anžetu.

Miha, a cousin who had returned from abroad, approached Anže.

"Kako se ti zdi, da si spet tukaj?" je vprašal Miha, njegov glas je bil poln nostalgije, a tudi dvoma.

"How does it feel to be here again?" he asked Miha, his voice full of nostalgia, yet also doubt.

"Rad imam naš vinograd," je odgovoril Anže. "Ampak..." Zastal je, besede so mu ostale na jeziku.

"I love our vineyard," replied Anže. "But..." He paused, the words stuck on his tongue.

Medtem ko so delali, so pogovori postajali glasnejši.

As they worked, the conversations grew louder.

Starača se je hitro širila, in Anže je čutil, da je trenutek pravi.

The hustle quickly spread, and Anže felt that the moment was right.

Srce mu je razbijalo.

His heart was pounding.

Stopil je pred družino.

He stepped forward in front of his family.

"Vem, kaj se pričakuje od mene," je začel, "ampak ne najdem se tukaj.

"I know what's expected of me," he began, "but I don't see myself here.

Želim si drugačno pot, želim v mesto, želim delati v tehnologiji."

I want a different path, I want to go to the city, I want to work in technology."

Vlada je obmolknila.

Silence fell.

Nato se je oglasila Lana, brez kančka dvoma v glasu.

Then Lana spoke up, with not a hint of doubt in her voice.

"Anže, tvoje sanje niso nič manj vredne od tega vinograda.

"Anže, your dreams are no less valuable than this vineyard.

Potrebuješ samo pogum, da slediš svojemu srcu."

You just need the courage to follow your heart."

Anžetova mama se je nežno nasmehnila.

Anže's mother smiled gently.

"Zmeraj bomo ponosni nate.

"We will always be proud of you.

Tukaj bo tvoj dom, ne glede na to, kam te vodi pot."

Here will be your home, no matter where your path leads you."

Anže se je zavedel, da štejejo tako korenine kot krila.

Anže realized that both roots and wings matter.

Lahko je pogumen in sledi svojim sanjam, ob tem pa še vedno časti svojo družino.

He could be brave and follow his dreams while still honoring his family.

Vinograd bo vedno del njega, a hkrati je bil svoboden, da raziskuje svet.

The vineyard would always be a part of him, yet he was free to explore the world.

In tako je, prvič v dolgo časa, Anže začutil lahkotnost, kako je biti zvest samemu sebi.

And so, for the first time in a long time, Anže felt the lightness of being true to himself.

Kmalu za tem se je srečal s sončnim zahodom, pripravljajoč se na svojo novo pot, vendar z vinogradom v srcu.

Shortly afterward, he met the sunset, preparing for his new journey, but with the vineyard in his heart.
