Let's take another listen. Listen closely to any parts you may have missed.
Kees Kustori helsing is a tui ki kuol.
Mari, the Kiska story and Hiltera twinkles like a sea of Christmas lights.
Ilma salai i leg glugin makea tu oksu yeolu la lukakuvat iloy sesti.
The sweet scent of Gobi wafts through the air, and Christmas carols echo cheerfully.
Ilias Li Sayamika va hitas the yolo markinoid and poul Kuya pitkin Ihi lenkuniak perentes Yasua malays Ya her koyamuvia cou.
Ya Elias, Lisa and Mika walked slowly along the paths of the Christmas market, admiring the beautiful handicrafts and stalls selling traditional Finnish delicacies.
Ilias Nelli kumpin and MIAs rakastelloluyas and yola Lisuksia muta AsTMa oli hennen Ikuinen.
Kumpaninsa Elias, a man in his forties, loved Christmas and its festivities, but Asma was his constant companion.
Han Vettiko la Huivia tuke min Umperi Lene kun kulm ilmakut tike Koya.
He pulled his scarf tighter around him as the cold air tickled his lungs.
Kotsuka kuenka Ihania pipar kutya.
Look at how lovely the gingerbread houses are.
Han ihastili Urampeta, Pista van hengh Itusvive and sa Ino.
He marveled, trying to mask his piercing breathing difficult with enthusiasm.
Lisa ilias and lahyen and Usteva panimrki lehnen Heini took sin ser raskous.
Lisa, Elias's close friend noticed the heaviness of his breathing.
Haluatko o lahit ke and yosa kin lampi mas Sa.
Do you want to be somewhere warm for a moment, hankusu hule devisesti, she asked caringly.
Mika ya nit do nutyaval mis ko keman kai ken Humilia kotso umpari Lene.
Mika, excited and ready to experience everything, smiled and looked around.
Boimeyot kamatka loda mecu la lampi manpaikon muhem min.
We can keep going. We'll find a warm place later.
Ilias halusivi pu la vila akon sa markinoi la tunte a yo luntai yuan.
Alias wanted to linger at the market to feel the magic of Christmas hanpati itaiuxa. He decided he could manage hiki si.
Vet itempaine tori lo tai naih misia you'd dea ravat kaswotei us tvat kumpelitu nel ma.
They rushed forward through a square full of people whose laughing faces reflected the atmosphere like mirrors.
Uh ta kia Alias pousa to kun ardis tushkiristirnta.
Suddenly, Alias stopped. His anxiety tightened his chest.
Han urriihingha suvan mta il matar tuikur ku.
He tried to breathe deeply, but the air stuck in his throat.
Lis again at ti kotsomn ilias the Saigatanena.
Lisa turned to look at Elias in alarm.
Ilias at cocunos.
Elias, are you okay han kuzuikiriesti, She asked quickly, mika oli hti virel pita and Serkutpustusa. Mika was immediately by his side, holding his cousin lightly upright.
Made and pitata lam minpaika nut eh han son oh yakotso IPATOI voices the umpari len.
We need to find a warm place now, he said, looking desperately around.
ONEI la HeLa olipi niko vila ikuno lost lamperstavalo.
Fortunately there was a small cafe nearby with warm lights shining through its windows.
Hituki vat Elias tasi san oh yvaem tulin lampi messen or coxesa.
They supported Elias inside, guiding him to a soft chair in a warm corner.
Gulta stavalo a hey yestava kunti le tan sipo de la.
A candle reflecting golden light danced on the table.
Ilias heng itisuvea nutralise masa umbaristas sa.
Elias breathed deeply. Now in the calmer environment.
Guitos ea hensai san no tuxi heiko la an ella.
Thank you, he managed to say, weakly.
Lisa humulia toi PoTA and call memuki lista kuma ca carta.
Lisa smiled and brought three mugs of hot cocoa to the table.
Nutvoimenotti a yo lustata lakin e hansan noi peh mehsti.
Now we can enjoy Christmas here too, she said softly.
Mika kotzili iliastay Eli sasi ehlua mevieta aika con sasi missa ta han sa seoon.
Mika looked at Alias and added, we want to spend time with you wherever that may be.
Ilias istu ikito lisena usta vien sakon satun ti en ite o lutia yo lun ime Stapitesi.
Elias sat gratefully with his friends, feeling he hadn't missed out on the wonders of Christmas.
Hanen thaou do opia kun te le man keho and pare min mutaseem ita hanen Thao dou Siluilasta.
He needed to learn to listen to his body better, but that didn't mean he had to give up on the celebration.
K viln iku Nosta Elias se rosi kuenka lumi lea Yuihilia len mahn udis dan Helia isoud and markinoid and hyrcan Ila koinin.
Through the cafe windows. Alias watched the snow gently fall to the ground, blending the silence with the delicate man of the market.
Ya see naheit kisa and tsi itayolu oilesna ak oludpai van dun yokaheakaishti.
And in that moment he knew that Christmas was present, and it wasn't a place but a feeling that united them all.
