Story Transcript:

Ca: En una tarda freda d'hivern a Barcelona, el Barri Gòtic estava embolcallat per una atmosfera màgica.
En: On a cold winter afternoon in Barcelona, the Barri Gòtic was wrapped in a magical atmosphere.

Ca: Els llums de Nadal encara penjaven als carrers, il·luminant les pedres antigues amb un caliu especial.
En: The Christmas lights still hung in the streets, illuminating the ancient stones with a special warmth.

Ca: Al cafè Coeli, l'aroma de cafè acabat de fer s'enredava amb el murmuri suau de les converses.
En: At Cafè Coeli, the aroma of freshly brewed coffee mingled with the gentle murmur of conversations.

Ca: Era el lloc perfecte per a Martí, Laia i Aleix per trobar-se.
En: It was the perfect place for Martí, Laia, and Aleix to meet.

Ca: Martí seia a la taula, mirant per la finestra, pensatiu.
En: Martí was sitting at the table, looking out the window, thoughtful.

Ca: Tenia una oferta de treball allunyada de casa, a l'estranger, i no sabia què fer.
En: He had a job offer far from home, abroad, and he didn't know what to do.

Ca: Laia, la seva germana, el mirava amb afecte i preocupació.
En: Laia, his sister, looked at him with affection and concern.

Ca: A la seva esquerra, Aleix, el seu cosí, estava entusiasmat, com sempre, explicant una aventura recent pel sud d'Itàlia.
En: To his left, Aleix, his cousin, was enthusiastic as always, recounting a recent adventure in the south of Italy.

Ca: —Martí —va dir Laia suaument—, què et fa tanta por d’anar-te’n? Has treballat molt per aquesta oportunitat.
En: “Martí,” said Laia softly, “what makes you so afraid to leave? You've worked hard for this opportunity."

Ca: Martí va sospirar. —No ho sé, Laia. Em costa deixar-vos enrere. I si fallo? I si no m’acostumo? La família és important per a mi.
En: Martí sighed. “I don't know, Laia. It's hard to leave you all behind. What if I fail? What if I don't get used to it? Family is important to me."

Ca: Aleix va somriure, omplint la sala amb la seva energia.
En: Aleix smiled, filling the room with his energy.

Ca: —Mira, Martí, recordes quan vaig anar a Austràlia? No sabia ni l’idioma, però ho vaig fer.
En: “Look, Martí, remember when I went to Australia? I didn't even know the language, but I did it.

Ca: Al començament em sentia tan sol, però després, les experiències van ser increïbles. Vaig créixer molt.
En: At first, I felt so lonely, but then the experiences were incredible. I grew a lot."

Ca: Aleix va dir això amb una brillantor als ulls que va fer Martí pensar.
En: Aleix said this with a sparkle in his eyes that made Martí think.

Ca: Potser marxar no era deixar la família per sempre.
En: Maybe leaving wasn't about abandoning the family forever.

Ca: Potser era créixer i després tornar més sàvi.
En: Maybe it was about growing and then returning wiser.

Ca: —Pensa-ho així —va afegir Aleix—. Els bons moments aquí, a casa, no s’acabaran perquè te’n vagis un temps.
En: “Think of it this way,” Aleix added, “the good times here, at home, won't end because you leave for a while.

Ca: Tornaràs, enriquit i amb moltes històries per explicar.
En: You'll come back, enriched and with many stories to tell."

Ca: Laia va assentir amb serenitat.
En: Laia nodded with serenity.

Ca: —Això mateix, Martí. I nosaltres sempre estarem aquí.
En: “Exactly, Martí. And we will always be here.”

Ca: Martí va mirar la seva germana i el seu cosí, sentint una calidesa al cor.
En: Martí looked at his sister and cousin, feeling warmth in his heart.

Ca: Se sentia menys poruc i més disposat a afrontar el que vingués.
En: He felt less fearful and more ready to face whatever came.

Ca: Va decidir que la vida era per a viure-la, i de vegades, amb grans riscos arriben grans premis.
En: He decided that life was meant to be lived, and sometimes, with great risks come great rewards.

Ca: —Ho faré —va dir finalment Martí, amb seguretat.
En: “I'll do it,” Martí finally said confidently.

Ca: —Acceptaré la feina i viuré aquesta aventura.
En: “I'll accept the job and live this adventure.

Ca: Però prometo tornar sovint.
En: But I promise to come back often.”

Ca: Laia va somriure, orgullosa, mentre Aleix alçava la seva tassa de cafè per brindar.
En: Laia smiled, proud, while Aleix raised his cup of coffee to toast.

Ca: Làtic de fons del cafè va omplir l'estança mentre el trio celebrava la decisió de Martí, sabent que futures aventures tornarien a reunir-los.
En: The background noise of the café filled the room as the trio celebrated Martí's decision, knowing that future adventures would bring them together again.

Ca: A aquell cafè del Barri Gòtic, enmig de l’hivern, Martí va trobar el coratge per mirar cap a un futur incert, amb confiança i esperit aventurer.
En: In that café in the Barri Gòtic, in the middle of winter, Martí found the courage to look toward an uncertain future with confidence and an adventurous spirit.
