Transcript:Da: Foråret havde malet Nyhavn i lyse farver.En: Spring had painted Nyhavn in bright colors.Da: Blomsterne spirede, og en let brise bar duften af havvand ind over havnen.En: Flowers were sprouting, and a gentle breeze carried the scent of sea water over the harbor.Da: Bådene gyngede blidt i vandet, mens menneskerne omkring gik gennem gaderne, optaget af påskens glæder.En: The boats rocked gently in the water while people around walked through the streets, engrossed in the joys of Easter.Da: Musikalske toner blandede sig med menneskernes snak, og selskabet underede sig over den festlige stemning.En: Musical tones mixed with people's chatter, and the company marveled at the festive atmosphere.Da: Emil stod midt i denne verden af lyd og farve med en stilhed, han ikke forstod.En: Emil stood in the middle of this world of sound and color with a silence he didn't understand.Da: Som musiker i hjertet og gennem hver eneste tone, han spillede, var lydene, der engang havde fyldt hans verden, nu dæmpede.En: As a musician at heart and through every note he played, the sounds that had once filled his world were now muted.Da: Det hele begyndte forleden dag, pludseligt og uden varsel.En: It all began the other day, suddenly and without warning.Da: Han kunne ikke høre de subtile vibrationer fra sine guitarstrenge, og det skræmte ham.En: He couldn't hear the subtle vibrations from his guitar strings, and it scared him.Da: En stor koncert nærmede sig, og Astrid og Magnus, hans bandkammerater, stolede på ham.En: A big concert was approaching, and Astrid and Magnus, his bandmates, relied on him.Da: Med hver dag, der gik, blev Emil mere ængstelig.En: With each passing day, Emil became more anxious.Da: Han havde ikke fortalt Astrid og Magnus om hans høretab.En: He had not told Astrid and Magnus about his hearing loss.Da: Han ville ikke skuffe dem.En: He didn't want to disappoint them.Da: Han overvejede kort at bruge teknologiske hjælpemidler eller blot stole på muskelhukommelse, men frygten for at fejle svang over ham som en skygge.En: He briefly considered using technological aids or simply relying on muscle memory, but the fear of failing hung over him like a shadow.Da: Repetitionslokalet lå ved kajen i Nyhavn.En: The rehearsal space was located by the quay in Nyhavn.Da: Hver dag øvede de der, plantet midt i forårsglæden.En: Every day they practiced there, planted in the middle of spring's delight.Da: En dag, kort tid før koncerten, stod Emil der med guitaren i hånden, mens Astrid stemte sin violin og Magnus pillede ved trommerne.En: One day, shortly before the concert, Emil stood there with the guitar in hand while Astrid tuned her violin and Magnus fiddled with the drums.Da: Lydene gled ud af fokus, og han indså med frygt, at det blev værre.En: The sounds slipped out of focus, and he realized with fear that it was getting worse.Da: Han tog en dyb indånding og kiggede på sine bandkammerater.En: He took a deep breath and looked at his bandmates.Da: “Jeg må tale med jer,” sagde han, med en stemme, der rystede svagt.En: "I need to talk to you," he said, with a voice that trembled slightly.Da: Astrid skubbede til Magnus, og de vendte begge deres opmærksomhed mod ham.En: Astrid nudged Magnus, and they both turned their attention to him.Da: ”Jeg har problemer med hørelsen,” fortsatte Emil.En: "I have problems with my hearing," Emil continued.Da: “Det er kommet ud af ingenting, og jeg ved ikke, om jeg kan spille godt nok til koncerten.En: "It came out of nowhere, and I don't know if I can play well enough for the concert."Da: ”Stilheden efter hans bekendelse var som en dyb indånding før en storm.En: The silence after his confession was like a deep breath before a storm.Da: Men Astrid smilede og trådte tættere på, mens Magnus nikkede forstående.En: But Astrid smiled and stepped closer, while Magnus nodded understandingly.Da: ”Vi er her for dig, Emil,” sagde Astrid.En: "We're here for you, Emil," Astrid said.Da: ”Vi kan justere musikken, vi kan gøre det på vores måde.En: "We can adjust the music, we can do it our way."Da: ”Med støtte fra sine venner tilpassede de numrene.En: With the support of his friends, they adapted the songs.Da: Selvom musikken var anderledes, spillede de med sjælen solidt plantet i hvert beat.En: Although the music was different, they played with their souls firmly planted in every beat.Da: Påskemorgen, ved koncerten, strømmede mennesker til.En: On Easter morning, at the concert, people flocked in.Da: Emil, Astrid og Magnus var dér, på scenen ved Nyhavn, omgivet af en symfoni af farver og liv.En: Emil, Astrid, and Magnus were there, on stage at Nyhavn, surrounded by a symphony of colors and life.Da: Og blandt de mennesker, der lyttede, fandt Emil en ny slags musik.En: And among the people who listened, Emil found a new kind of music.Da: Den musik, der kun kan skabes af sande venskaber og modet til at være sårbar.En: The music that can only be created by true friendships and the courage to be vulnerable.Da: Ved at åbne sig lærte Emil, at ægte styrke ligger i evnen til at dele sine svagheder.En: By opening up, Emil learned that true strength lies in the ability to share one's weaknesses.Da: Det var ikke lyden, men troen på hinanden, der bandt dem sammen, og det gjorde denne påske til en, de aldrig ville glemme.En: It wasn't the sound, but the faith in each other that bound them together, making this Easter one they would never forget.
