Nyhavn var fyldt med liv.
Nyhavn was filled with life.
De farverige huse spejlede sig i kanalen, og lyden af samtaler blandede sig med skraldet af cykler.
The colorful houses reflected in the canal, and the sound of conversations mixed with the clatter of bicycles.
Butikkerne havde travlt med at forberede til påske, og duften af friskbagte boller svævede i luften.
The shops were busy preparing for Easter, and the scent of freshly baked rolls wafted through the air.
Sofie gik langs kanalen, betaget af sceneriet.
Sofie walked along the canal, captivated by the scenery.
Hun havde nyligt flyttet til København og savnede noget velkendt midt i alt det nye.
She had recently moved to København and missed something familiar amidst all the newness.
Himlen var pludselig blevet mørk.
The sky suddenly turned dark.
Et kraftigt vindpust varslede om regn, og snart piskede dråberne ned.
A strong gust of wind signaled rain, and soon the drops lashed down.
I hast søgte Sofie ly i en café ved vandet.
In haste, Sofie sought shelter in a café by the water.
Hun trådte indenfor og mødte smilet fra Emil, caféens ejer.
She stepped inside and was met with a smile from Emil, the café's owner.
"Kom indenfor!
"Come inside!
Det regner som en kaskade derude," sagde Emil og viste hende til et ledigt bord.
It's raining like a cascade out there," said Emil and showed her to an available table.
Kort efter kom en mand, Niels, ind ad døren, dryppende.
Shortly after, a man, Niels, came through the door, dripping.
Han hilste kort på Emil.
He greeted Emil briefly.
"Vejret er ikke din ven i dag, hva'?"
"The weather is not your friend today, huh?"
lo Emil og førte Niels til bordet ved siden af Sofie.
laughed Emil and led Niels to the table next to Sofie.
Sofie og Niels udvekslede høflige smil.
Sofie and Niels exchanged polite smiles.
Regnen trommede en rytme på ruderne, og inden længe faldt de i snak.
The rain drummed a rhythm on the windows, and before long, they fell into conversation.
Sofie sagde, "Jeg er ny her.
Sofie said, "I am new here.
Kom for jobbet.
Came for the job.
Det er både spændende og forvirrende."
It's both exciting and confusing."
Niels nikkede forstående.
Niels nodded understandingly.
"Jeg har boet her hele mit liv.
"I have lived here my whole life.
Lige nu leder jeg efter nye begyndelser."
Right now, I'm looking for new beginnings."
Deres blik mødtes et øjeblik fuld af gensidig forståelse.
Their eyes met for a moment full of mutual understanding.
De delte historier om tidligere rejser og fremtidige drømme, hver afbrudt af latter.
They shared stories about past travels and future dreams, each interrupted by laughter.
Sofie fortalte om en pinlig oplevelse på hendes nye job, og Niels åbnede op om sit nylige brud.
Sofie told of an embarrassing experience at her new job, and Niels opened up about his recent breakup.
"Det var ikke nemt," sagde Niels stille, "men nu er det på tide at komme videre."
"It wasn't easy," said Niels quietly, "but now it's time to move on."
Sofies blik var opmuntrende, og det gav ham mod.
Sofie's glance was encouraging, and it gave him courage.
Tiden fløj, og da regnen stilnede af, stod de begge ved udgangen.
Time flew, and as the rain subsided, they both stood by the exit.
Emil, der smugkigede fra bag kassen, knipsede fingrene, tilfreds med at have set en ny forbindelse blomstre.
Emil, who peeked from behind the counter, snapped his fingers, pleased to have seen a new connection blossom.
"Tak for kaffen, Emil," sagde de begge og nikkede, før de trådte ud i den friske, fugtige luft.
"Thanks for the coffee, Emil," they both said, nodding, before stepping out into the fresh, damp air.
Regnen havde efterladt luften klar og kølig, og for hver skridt, de tog sammen langs vandet, blev deres samtaler mere animerede.
The rain had left the air clear and cool, and with every step they took together along the water, their conversations became more animated.
Sofie følte, at hun måske endelig kunne finde sin plads i København, og Niels havde fået et glimt af håb i sine egne planer.
Sofie felt that she might finally find her place in København, and Niels had glimpsed hope in his own plans.
Med en ny aftale om at mødes igen snart, sagde de farvel, fulde af forventning.
With a new agreement to meet again soon, they said goodbye, full of anticipation.
Nyhavn huskede deres skridt, mens dagen fortsatte, klar til at byde dem velkommen tilbage til nye kapitler og venskaber.
Nyhavn remembered their steps as the day continued, ready to welcome them back to new chapters and friendships.
