Ca: Les paraules fluïen fàcilment.
En: Words flowed easily.

Ca: "M'agradaria continuar coneixent-te, més enllà del festival," va dir Oriol, amb tendresa.
En: "I'd like to keep getting to know you, beyond the festival," Oriol said tenderly.

Ca: Bruna va somriure, amb el cor obert i la ment clara.
En: Bruna smiled, with her heart open and mind clear.

Ca: "També ho vull," va respondre, segura d'haver trobat un equilibri.
En: "I want that too," she responded, sure she had found a balance.

Ca: Aquest era el pas que necessitava per viure el passat i el present amb veritable passió.
En: This was the step she needed to live the past and the present with true passion.

Ca: A Tarraco, mentre les torxes es fonien amb la llum de les estrelles, va començar una nova història.
