Ca: A l'antiga escola amb murs coberts d'heura, els estudiants es preparaven pel recital de primavera.

En: Excitement filled the hallways.
Ca: El gran saló, decorat amb roses fresques, estava llest per a una nit màgica.
En: The great hall, decorated with fresh roses, was ready for a magical night.
Ca: Sant Jordi s'apropava, i cada rosa i llibre recordaven aquesta festa tan especial a Catalunya.
En: Sant Jordi was approaching, and every rose and book reminded of this very special festival in Catalunya.
Ca: Montserrat, una noia de setze anys, passava el dit per un roser de la finestra.
En: Montserrat, a sixteen-year-old girl, ran her finger over a rosebush by the window.
Ca: Els seus ulls brillaven amb somnis d'amor.
En: Her eyes sparkled with dreams of love.
Ca: Li agradava Pere, un noi del seu curs.
En: She liked Pere, a boy from her class.
Ca: Però ell semblava no adonar-se'n dels seus sentiments.
En: But he seemed unaware of her feelings.
Ca: Montserrat volia rebre una rosa de Sant Jordi, però sobretot volia brillar al recital.

Ca: Tenia por de l'escenari, però somiava cantar un solo.

Ca: "Vinga, Montse, pots fer-ho!
En: "Come on, Montse, you can do it!"

En: Montserrat took the flower, unable to believe her dream had come true.
Ca: Els seus ulls es van trobar, i en aquell moment, les paraules eren innecessàries.
