Story Transcript:

Ca: Barcelona, la ciutat vibrant i enèrgica, es va convertir en un somniós viatge en el temps per Martí i Anna.
En: Barcelona, the vibrant and energetic city, became a dreamy journey through time for Martí and Anna.

Ca: Aquesta parella, de visita a la ciutat comtal, es va trobar perduda entre els laberíntics carrers del Barri Gòtic.
En: This couple, visiting the Catalan city, found themselves lost in the labyrinthine streets of the Gothic Quarter.

Ca: Ràpidament, el suau murmuri de la ciutat es va convertir en el ressonar vivint d'una festa.
En: Quickly, the gentle murmur of the city transformed into the lively echo of a party.

Ca: Una llum càlida es va filtrar pels racons estrets del carrer.
En: A warm light filtered through the narrow corners of the street.

Ca: Un cantar melodiós en la llengua del poble va flotar cap a ells, fent que els seus ulls brillen d'expectació.
En: A melodic singing in the language of the people floated towards them, causing their eyes to sparkle with anticipation.

Ca: Van continuar caminant, guiats per la música, i van ensopegar en una escena que semblava extreta d'un llibre d'història.
En: They kept walking, guided by the music, and stumbled upon a scene that seemed to be taken from a history book.

Ca: La gent del poble estava vestida de cap a peus amb indumentàries medievals: faldes bufandes per a les dones, jerseis de malles per als homes, mentre cavallers i dames ballaven i reien.
En: The townspeople were dressed from head to toe in medieval attire: flowing skirts for the women, chainmail tunics for the men, while knights and ladies danced and laughed.

Ca: Semblava que la trivialitat del temps modern hagués estat substituïda per blatants alegries de l'època medieval.
En: It seemed as though the triviality of modern times had been replaced by the radiant joy of the medieval era.

Ca: Encara que Martí i Anna es sentien extrangers en aquesta situació, un sentiment d'excitació es va apoderar d'ells.
En: Although Martí and Anna felt like strangers in this situation, a feeling of excitement overcame them.

Ca: Els locals, amb les seves cares amigables i lluminoses, els van acollir amb obertes mans.
En: The locals, with their friendly and radiant faces, welcomed them with open arms.

Ca: Van aprendre a ballar al ritme de les cançons tradicionals catalanes, van riure a pler i per un moment van oblidar la seva confusió inicial.
En: They learned to dance to the rhythm of traditional Catalan songs, laughed heartily, and for a moment, forgot their initial confusion.

Ca: En el punt més alt de la celebració, una petita nena els va apropar i els va oferir un rams de flors silvestres, una peça semblant a un retrat viu de la seva avó, que recordava la humilitat i la cordialitat del seu poble català.
En: At the peak of the celebration, a little girl approached them and offered them a bouquet of wild flowers, a living portrait reminiscent of their grandmother, embodying the humility and warmth of their Catalan people.

Ca: Així es va desenvolupar la nit, entre rialles i balls, entre desconeguts que es van convertir en amics, entre la música que va portar alegria i amor.
En: This is how the night unfolded, amidst laughter and dancing, among strangers who became friends, and the music that brought joy and love.

Ca: Martí i Anna es van adonar que no estaven perduts, sinó que havien trobat una part desconeguda d'ells mateixos en aquests carrers misteriosos.
En: Martí and Anna realized that they were not lost, but had discovered an unknown part of themselves in these mysterious streets.

Ca: Finalment, quan el sol va començar a esclatar a l'horitzó, Martí i Anna van deixar la festa amb el cor ple de records i amb un sentiment de pertinença.
En: Finally, as the sun began to rise on the horizon, Martí and Anna left the party with hearts full of memories and a sense of belonging.

Ca: Es van despedir dels seus nous amics i van començar el seu viatge de tornada cap a casa, no perduts, sinó enriquits per una experiència única i magnífica que mai oblidarien.
En: They said farewell to their new friends and began their journey back home, not lost, but enriched by a unique and magnificent experience they would never forget.

Ca: I així, va quedar clar que a vegades, perdre's pot portar-nos a descobrir belleses ocultes.
En: And so, it became clear that sometimes, getting lost can lead us to discover hidden beauties.

Ca: Barcelona, la vella ciutat que havien estimat, els havia ofert un tros del seu cor medieval, un somni que mai haurien descobert si no es haguessin perdut en els seus carrers.
En: Barcelona, the old city they had loved, had offered them a piece of its medieval heart, a dream they would have never discovered if they had not gotten lost in its streets.
