Story Transcript:

Ca: El sol del matí despertava la bellesa vibrante del Park Güell amb una llum càlida que ballava sobre les rajoles de Gaudí.
En: The morning sun awakened the vibrant beauty of Park Güell with a warm light that danced over Gaudí's tiles.

Ca: Els estudiants de l'escola, emocionats, es dispersaven pel parc com un estol de pardals, cadascun amb la seva llibreta de dibuix i llapis a punt.
En: The school students, excited, scattered throughout the park like a flock of sparrows, each with their sketchbook and pencil ready.

Ca: Entre ells, Jordi se sentia petit enfront l'emoció del dia.
En: Among them, Jordi felt small facing the excitement of the day.

Ca: El grup alegrement sorollós li impedia concentrar-se, i la seva confiança vacil·lava.
En: The cheerfully noisy group prevented him from concentrating, and his confidence wavered.

Ca: “Jordi, vine!” va cridar la Mireia, amb el seu somriure sempre viu.
En: “Jordi, come!” called Mireia, with her ever-vibrant smile.

Ca: Però Jordi necessitava trobar el seu lloc.
En: But Jordi needed to find his own space.

Ca: Amb decisió, es va allunyar de la multitud, buscant un racó tranquil.
En: With determination, he distanced himself from the crowd, seeking a quiet corner.

Ca: Va trobar un banc petit, envoltat de natura i amb una vista perfecta de la ciutat al fons.
En: He found a small bench, surrounded by nature and with a perfect view of the city in the background.

Ca: Allà, va obrir la seva llibreta i va observar atentament els colors del parc.
En: There, he opened his sketchbook and carefully observed the colors of the park.

Ca: Dibuixava amb cura, cada taca de color i cada línia sinuosa.
En: He drew carefully, capturing each spot of color and each sinuous line.

Ca: Però els dubtes l'assaltaven.
En: But doubts assailed him.

Ca: Què passaria si el seu dibuix no fos prou bo?
En: What if his drawing wasn't good enough?

Ca: Mentre les seves inseguretats el travessaven, una veu coneguda va trencar el seu silenci.
En: As his insecurities crossed his mind, a familiar voice broke his silence.

Ca: “Hola, Jordi!” va dir la Mireia, apareixent al seu costat.
En: “Hello, Jordi!” said Mireia, appearing beside him.

Ca: “Què tens aquí?”
En: “What do you have here?”

Ca: Va sentir la calidesa del seu entusiasme i va dubtar si mostrar-li el seu esbós.
En: He felt the warmth of her enthusiasm and hesitated to show her his sketch.

Ca: Però les paraules de la Mireia sempre tenien un efecte màgic.
En: But Mireia's words always had a magical effect.

Ca: Amb una respiració profunda, li va ensenyar el dibuix.
En: With a deep breath, he showed her the drawing.

Ca: “És preciós!” va exclamar ella, els seus ulls il·luminats.
En: “It's beautiful!” she exclaimed, her eyes alight.

Ca: “Has capturat els colors del lloc perfectament!”
En: “You've captured the colors of the place perfectly!”

Ca: Les seves paraules eren sinceres, i de sobte, el pes del dubte va desaparèixer.
En: Her words were sincere, and suddenly, the weight of doubt disappeared.

Ca: Amb l'elogi de la Mireia, en Jordi va trobar el coratge per tornar al grup.
En: With Mireia's praise, Jordi found the courage to return to the group.

Ca: Aquesta vegada, amb passos més ferms.
En: This time, with firmer steps.

Ca: Quan es va reunir amb la resta de la classe, va compartir el seu esbós.
En: When he rejoined the rest of the class, he shared his sketch.

Ca: Les seves paraules encoratjadores i crítiques constructives van enfortir la seva determinació.
En: Their encouraging words and constructive criticism strengthened his resolve.

Ca: Sentia que el seu camí artístic havia començat de debò aquell dia al Park Güell.
En: He felt that his artistic journey truly began that day at Park Güell.

Ca: En aquell parc màgic, enmig de mosaics brillants i arquitectura de somni, en Jordi va aprendre a confiar en si mateix.
En: In that magical park, amidst brilliant mosaics and dreamlike architecture, Jordi learned to trust himself.

Ca: Mentre els estudiants van marxar, rient i xerrant, ell va mirar enrere, sabent que aquell lloc sempre seria especial.
En: As the students left, laughing and chatting, he looked back, knowing that that place would always be special.

Ca: Havia aconseguit fer un esbós vibrant i, més important, havia acallat els dubtes que li havien fet ombra.
En: He had succeeded in making a vibrant sketch and, more importantly, had silenced the doubts that had overshadowed him.

Ca: Amb un somriure de gratitud cap a la Mireia, va avançar cap al futur, amb el cor ple d'alegria i confiança.
En: With a smile of gratitude towards Mireia, he moved towards the future, with his heart full of joy and confidence.

But Jordan needed to find his place.

In the decision, he will join the crowd to look for a record.

He will find a small bank,

he has been in nature and in a perfect view of the city of the funds.

It was empty, each attack of color and each innocent line, but the ducts soldered them.

What would happen if your divorce was not tested?

While the insecurities of the pregnant woman, a widow with a needle, will take care of her silence.

Hello, Jordi, tell Mireia to leave her hometown.

What are you doing here?

You will feel the warmth of your enthusiasm and will adopt if you show your voice.

But the words of Mireia always had a magic effect.

In a deep breath, she will teach the divorce.

It is precious.

Go to sleep with her, with your illuminate eyes.

You have captured the colors of the eye perfectly.

The blind couple will see in sincere, and the piece of the ducts will disappear.

In the eye of Mireia, Jordi will find the courage to turn the group.

This vagabond will pass even further.

When she will join the rest of the class, she will share her voice.

The blind couple's encourages and critical constructives will strengthen the blind determination.

I felt that her artistic path had begun to live that day in the park well.

In that magic park, in the midst of the brilliance and architecture of Somni,

Jordi will find confidence in herself.

While the students will walk, Rien and Sharon, she will look at Rera,

we know that that place would always be special.

She had managed to make a vibrant voice, more important,

she had burned the ducts she had done to her husband.

In a smiley smile of gratitude to Mireia,

she goes out to the future with full joy and confidence in the body.

Let's take another listen.

Listen closely to any parts you may have missed.

The morning sun awakened the vibrant beauty of Park Guell

with a warm light that danced over goddess tiles.

The school students excited scattered throughout the park like a flock of sparrows,

each with their sketchbook and pencil ready.

In trails, Jordi felt a little bit in front of the museum of the day.

There, he opened his sketchbook and carefully observed the colors of the park.

He drew carefully, capturing each spot of color and each sinewous line.

But doubts assailed him.

What if his drawing wasn't good enough?

While his insecurities were growing,

he had no idea what his silence was about.

As his insecurities crossed his mind,

a familiar voice broke his silence.

Hello Jordi, said Mary I.A. appearing beside him.

What are you doing here?

What do you have here?

He felt the warmth of her enthusiasm and hesitated to show her his sketch.

But the walls of the wall always had a magic effect.

But Mary's words always had a magical effect.

With a deep breath, he showed her the drawing.

It's beautiful, she exclaimed her eyes a light.

You've captured the colors of the place perfectly.

Her words were sincere and suddenly the weight of doubt disappeared.

The logic of the Mireia in Jordi was to find the courage to turn the group.

With Mary as praise, Jordi found the courage to return to the group.

This time with firmer steps.

When he rejoined the rest of the class, he shared his sketch.

Their encouraging words and constructive criticism strengthened his resolve.
