  • Lavandina polja na Hvaru sjaje pod toplim ljetnim suncem.

    The lavender fields on Hvar shine under the warm summer sun.

  • Ljubičasti cvjetovi mirisno šire svoj opojni miris.

    The purple flowers spread their intoxicating scent fragrantly.

  • Dario i Mateja polako prolaze između redova lavande.

    Dario and Mateja slowly walk between the rows of lavender.

  • Dario nosi košaru preko ramena, dok Mateja pažljivo reže stabljike.

    Dario carries a basket over his shoulder, while Mateja carefully cuts the stems.

  • "Dario, pazi na kvalitetu", Mateja opominje nježno.

    "Dario, watch the quality," Mateja gently warns.

  • "Lavanda mora biti savršena za Petrovo. To je naša tradicija."

    "The lavender must be perfect for Petrovo. It's our tradition."

  • Petrovo, Sveti Petar, posebno je vrijeme na otoku.

    Petrovo, or Saint Peter's Day, is a special time on the island.

  • Svi očekuju najbolje lavande za festival.

    Everyone expects the best lavender for the festival.

  • Dario klimu glavom, ali u glavi smišlja nove načine.

    Dario nods, but is thinking of new ways in his head.

  • "Brže bismo mogli obaviti posao s ovim novim škarama", kaže.

    "We could get the job done faster with these new scissors," he says.

  • Ali Mateja ne želi žuriti.

    But Mateja doesn't want to rush.

  • Vjetar blago njiše polja dok ona govori: "Ponekad tradicija donosi najbolje rezultate."

    The wind gently sways the fields as she says, "Sometimes tradition brings the best results."

  • Kroz jučerašnjicu dana, sunce ih grije, a oblaci na horizontu kao da upozoravaju.

    Throughout the previous day, the sun warms them, and the clouds on the horizon seem to warn.

  • Dario želi impresionirati cijelo selo.

    Dario wants to impress the entire village.

  • Ako ovaj urod bude najbolji, možda će ga zapamtiti vođe zajednice.

    If this crop is the best, perhaps the community leaders will remember him.

  • Mateja, međutim, brine se o svima.

    Mateja, however, cares about everyone.

  • Festival mora biti uspješan, ne samo za njegov ugled.

    The festival must be a success, not just for his reputation.

  • Dok sunčev sjaj nestaje, oblaci se skupljaju.

    As the sun's glow fades, the clouds gather.

  • Vjetar postaje jači.

    The wind grows stronger.

  • "Stiže oluja", kaže Mateja zabrinuto.

    "A storm is coming," Mateja says worriedly.

  • Dario shvaća ozbiljnost situacije.

    Dario realizes the seriousness of the situation.

  • "Moramo odlučiti", kaže brzo.

    "We have to decide," he quickly says.

  • "Ako nastavimo, riskiramo sve."

    "If we continue, we risk everything."

  • Mateja se okrene prema njemu.

    Mateja turns to him.

  • "Možemo spojiti naše metode. Brže, ali pažljivo."

    "We can combine our methods. Faster, but carefully."

  • Dario se složi.

    Dario agrees.

  • Njih dvoje s naporom ubrzaju, no s osjećajem svake Matejine instrukcije o tradiciji.

    The two of them hasten with effort, but with a sense of every one of Mateja's instructions about tradition.

  • Dok prve kapi kiše dodirnu zemlju, njihova košara je puna.

    As the first drops of rain touch the ground, their basket is full.

  • Lavanda je sigurna.

    The lavender is safe.

  • Dario uzdahne s olakšanjem.

    Dario sighs with relief.

  • Naučio je nešto važno. Nutrinu tradicije i snagu zajedničkog rada.

    He has learned something important: the essence of tradition and the strength of working together.

  • Mateja se zadovoljno smiješi, znajući da će ovaj festival biti poseban.

    Mateja smiles contentedly, knowing that this festival will be special.

  • Petrovo dolazi i polja su spremna.

    Petrovo comes and the fields are ready.

  • Dario i Mateja stoje zajedno, gledajući kako ljudi uživaju.

    Dario and Mateja stand together, watching as people enjoy.

  • Dario sada cijeni tradiciju, a Mateja je otvorena prema novim idejama.

    Dario now appreciates tradition, and Mateja is open to new ideas.

  • Lavanda cvjeta, baš kao i njihovo prijateljstvo.

    The lavender blooms, just like their friendship.

  • I tako su ljetne oluje postale tek dio lijepe priče, priče o zajedništvu.

    And so the summer storms became just part of a beautiful story, a story of togetherness.
