Ca: El sol de la tardor pintava el cel d'un taronja suau damunt els turons de Priorat.
En: The autumn sun painted the sky a soft orange over the hills of Priorat.

Ca: Marcel, amb les mans fermes i la mirada fixa, recollia raïm sota el cel net del matí.
En: Marcel, with steady hands and a focused gaze, was gathering grapes under the clear morning sky.

Ca: Havia treballat en aquest mateix vinya des de petit, aprenent l'art de fer vi del seu pare i el seu avi.
En: He had worked in this same vineyard since he was young, learning the art of winemaking from his father and grandfather.

Ca: El patrimoni de la seva família era important, i ho defensava amb valentia.
En: The heritage of his family was important, and he defended it bravely.

Ca: Aquell matí, una ombra nova va aparèixer entre les vinyes.
En: That morning, a new presence appeared among the vines.

Ca: Era Laia, plena d'energia i curiositat.

Ca: Tenia ganes de conèixer el món de la vinya i estava decidida a implementar tècniques de cultiu sostenible.
En: She was eager to learn about the vineyard world and was determined to implement sustainable cultivation techniques.

Ca: Els seus ulls brillaven amb il·lusions modernes, però també trobava resistència dels més tradicionals, com Marcel.

Ca: —Bon dia!
En: "Good morning!"

Ca: —saludà Laia amb un somriure radiant.
En: greeted Laia with a radiant smile.

Ca: —Bon dia —respongué Marcel, una mica escèptic.
En: "Good morning," replied Marcel, somewhat skeptical.

Ca: Durant les setmanes següents, Marcel i Laia van treballar costat a costat, cada un amb les seves pròpies idees.

Ca: Les discrepàncies eren evidents.

Ca: Marcel valorava les formes de fer de sempre.

Ca: Laia, en canvi, volia demostrar que les seves tècniques modernes podien no només ser efectives, sinó beneficioses per al futur de la vinya.
En: Laia, on the other hand, wanted to demonstrate that her modern techniques could not only be effective but beneficial for the vineyard's future.

Ca: Un moment crucial va arribar durant el primer premsat.

Ca: De sobte, es presentà un problema inesperat amb les màquines de premsar.

Ca: Amb la temporada en perill, calia actuar ràpidament.
En: With the season at risk, action was needed quickly.

Ca: Marcel va recordar un vell mètode manual que podrien provar, però Laia va suggerir una combinació d'aquest mètode amb una tècnica nova que havia après.
En: Marcel recalled an old manual method they could try, but Laia suggested combining this method with a new technique she had learned.

Ca: —Podríem intentar-ho així?
En: "Could we try it this way?"

Ca: —proposà Laia, amb els ulls il·luminats per una esperança tímida.
En: proposed Laia, her eyes lit with a timid hope.

Ca: Marcel la va mirar de reüll, però va assentir.

Ca: Quan acabaren, van observar el líquid daurat que fluïa suaument, amb un aroma meravellós.
En: When they finished, they watched the golden liquid flow smoothly, with a wonderful aroma.

Ca: Era un triomf inesperat.
En: It was an unexpected triumph.

Ca: A mesura que el nou vi macerava, Marcel va prendre consciència que el canvi no era enemic.

En: Laia learned the value of ancient roots and the wisdom accumulated over the years.

Ca: Quan la tardor va acabar, sota el mateix cel taronja, van descobrir que, més enllà de la vinya, també s’havia gestat una amistat, potser alguna cosa més.
En: When autumn ended, under the same orange sky, they discovered that beyond the vineyard, a friendship had also formed, perhaps something more.

Ca: Els somriures entre ells ja no eren de desconfiança, sinó de complicitat i respecte.
