Sl: Pojdiva na otok!
En: Let's go to the island!"

Sl: "Zdaj pa uživajmo v vožnji.
En: "For now, let's enjoy the ride."

Sl: Na otoku je stala majhna cerkvica in nekaj starodavnih stavb.

Sl: Ko sta prispela, sta izstopila iz pletne in se odpravila po kamnitih stopnicah na vrh otoka.
En: When they arrived, they got off the Pletna and walked up the stone steps to the top of the island.

Sl: Stopnice so bile strme, a razgled je bil čudovit.
En: The steps were steep, but the view was magnificent.

Sl: Ko sta prispela do cerkve, je Matej iz nahrbtnika izvlekel majhen kosilni komplet.
En: When they reached the church, Matej pulled a small picnic set out of his backpack.

Sl: "Piknik," je rekel s smehom.
En: "A picnic," he said with a laugh.

Sl: "Za naju.
En: "For us."

Sl: "Nina je bila navdušena.

En: When they reached the bell tower, Matej suggested, "Let's ring the bell.

Sl: Pravijo, da prinaša srečo.
En: They say it brings good luck."

Sl: "Nina je prikimala in skupaj sta potegnila za debelo vrv.
En: Nina nodded, and together they pulled the thick rope.

En: The bell rang out over the whole lake.

Sl: Odmevalo je daleč naokoli.
En: Its echo carried far.

Sl: Nasmehnila sta se.
En: They smiled.

Sl: Po dolgem dnevu na otoku sta se vrnila na pletno in se odpravila nazaj proti obali.
En: After a long day on the island, they returned to the Pletna and headed back to the shore.

Sl: Voznik pletne ju je pozdravil z nasmehom in vprašal: "Sta uživala?
En: The Pletna's driver greeted them with a smile and asked, "Did you enjoy it?"

Sl: ""Tako zelo," je odgovoril Matej.
En: "Very much," Matej replied.

Sl: Nina je pokimala.
En: Nina nodded.

Sl: Ko sta se vrnila na kopno, je bilo nebo že rdeče od zahajajočega sonca.
En: When they returned to land, the sky was already red from the setting sun.

Sl: Matej je dejal: "Bled je res magičen.
En: Matej said, "Bled is really magical.

Sl: In tvoj nasmeh ga naredi še lepšega.
En: And your smile makes it even more beautiful."

Sl: "Nina se je smehljala in prijela Mateja za roko.
En: Nina smiled and took Matej's hand.

Sl: Skupaj sta se odpravila nazaj proti hotelu, vedoč, da se bosta še vrnila k Blejskemu jezeru.
En: Together, they walked back towards the hotel, knowing they would return to Lake Bled again.
