Sr: Bilo je prolećno veče u malom srpskom gradu, i vazduh je mirisao na cvetanje i svežinu.
En: It was a spring evening in a small Serbian town, and the air smelled of blossoms and freshness.

Sr: U jednoj tamošnjoj kafani, poznatoj po svojoj dobroj muzici i ukusnoj rakiji, atmosfera je bila razigrana i vesela.
En: In a local tavern known for its good music and tasty brandy, the atmosphere was lively and cheerful.

Sr: Ljudi su pevali, igrali i smejali se, a žamor razgovora mešao se sa melodijama tradicionalnih pesama.
En: People sang, danced, and laughed, while the murmur of conversations mixed with the melodies of traditional songs.

Sr: Upravo u takvoj atmosferi našli su se Marko i Ana, dvoje mladih koji su delili ljubav prema igri i dobroj zabavi.
En: It was in such an atmosphere that Marko and Ana, two young people who shared a love of dance and good fun, found themselves.

Sr: Marko je bio visok i simpatičan mladić sa zaraznim osmehom, dok je Ana bila živahna devojka sa očima boje kestena.
En: Marko was a tall and charming young man with an infectious smile, while Ana was a lively girl with chestnut-colored eyes.

Sr: Nisu se poznavali pre te večeri, ali ih je zajednička strast prema kolu, tradicionalnom srpskom plesu, spojila na plesnom podijumu kafane.
En: They hadn't known each other before that evening, but their shared passion for kolo, a traditional Serbian dance, brought them together on the tavern's dance floor.

Sr: Kao da su se znali godinama, tako su savršeno plesali u ritmu bubnjeva i gitarističkih taktova.
En: As if they had known each other for years, they danced perfectly to the rhythm of drums and guitar beats.

Sr: Ali dok su se smejali i okretali brzinom vetra, Marko je slučajno izgubio ravnotežu i prosuo svoju čašu rakije pravo na Aninu haljinu.
En: But as they laughed and spun like the wind, Marko accidentally lost his balance and spilled his glass of brandy right on Ana's dress.

Sr: Tamna tečnost se razlila po belom materijalu, ostavljajući mrak na mestu gde je sunce trebalo da sija.
En: The dark liquid spread across the white fabric, leaving a dark spot where the sun was supposed to shine.

Sr: Ana je gutnula uzdah iznenađenja i stidljivo pogledala dole na svoju haljinu.
En: Ana let out a surprised sigh and shyly looked down at her dress.

Sr: Marko je zacrveneo od srama i požurio da se ispriča, ne znajući kako da popravi nastalu situaciju.
En: Marko blushed with embarrassment and hurried to apologize, not knowing how to fix the situation.

Sr: "Oprosti mi Ana, nisam hteo to da uradim, stvarno...," promucao je Marko dok je tražio krpu ili bilo šta čime bi mogao da pomogne.
En: "Forgive me, Ana, I didn't mean to do that, really...," Marko stammered as he searched for a cloth or anything to help.

Sr: Ana je podigla pogled, i Markovo srce je zabolelo kad je video njene oči koje traže razumevanje.
En: Ana looked up, and Marko's heart ached when he saw her eyes seeking understanding.

Sr: Ali, umesto očekivanog gneva ili suza, ona je iznenada prasnula u smeh.
En: But instead of the expected anger or tears, she suddenly burst into laughter.

Sr: "Ma nema veze, Marko! Dogodi se, to je deo zabave!" rekla je Ana i dalje se smejeći.
En: "It's okay, Marko! It happens, it's part of the fun!" Ana said, still laughing.

Sr: "Samo mi kupi novu rakiju, a dress...haljina se može oprati!"
En: "Just buy me a new brandy, and the dress... the dress can be washed!"

Sr: Markova pažnja se okrenula od njenog smeha ka ostalim gostima koji su posmatrali celi događaj.
En: Marko's attention shifted from her laughter to the other guests who were watching the whole event.

Sr: Stidljivo se okrenuo ka barmenu i naručio dve nove rakije, a onda se osmehnuo i pružio jednu Ani.
En: He shyly turned to the bartender and ordered two new brandies, then smiled and handed one to Ana.

Sr: "Za novi početak," rekao je, "ali ovaj put, hajde da sednemo!"
En: "For a fresh start," he said, "but this time, let's sit down!"

Sr: Posvetili su ostatak večeri upoznavanju jedno sa drugim uz smeh i anegdote, ostavljajući ples i rakiju po strani.
En: They spent the rest of the evening getting to know each other with laughter and anecdotes, leaving dancing and brandy aside.

Sr: Pre nego što je noć završila, Ana i Marko su razmenili brojeve telefona, obećavajući jedno drugom da će ponovo izaći, ali sledeći put, biti pažljiviji sa plesom i pićem.
En: Before the night was over, Ana and Marko exchanged phone numbers, promising each other that they would go out again, but next time, they would be more careful with dancing and drinks.

Sr: I tako, što je moglo biti veče ispunjeno nespretnošću i sramotom, pretvorilo se u početak nečeg novog i lepog.
En: And so, what could have been an evening filled with clumsiness and embarrassment turned into the beginning of something new and beautiful.

Sr: Kafana je zatvorila svoja vrata, a Ana i Marko su se rastali sa osmehom, znajući da se ovakve male nezgode dešavaju, ali da ih zajednički smeh može preokrenuti u srećne uspomene.
En: The tavern closed its doors, and Ana and Marko said goodbye with a smile, knowing that such little mishaps happen, but that their shared laughter could turn them into happy memories.
