Story Transcript:
Ca: Barcelona estava plena de núvols foscos i un vent fred recorria els carrers.
En: Barcelona was filled with dark clouds, and a cold wind swept through the streets.
Ca: L'orfenat estava al vell mig de la ciutat, una antiga edificació de pedra amb passadissos il·luminats tènue i un saló acollidor on les parelles venien amb l'esperança de trobar un fill.
En: The orphanage was in the very heart of the city, an old stone building with dimly lit hallways and a cozy living room where couples came with the hope of finding a child.
Ca: A dins, Jordi mirava per la finestra.
En: Inside, Jordi looked out the window.
Ca: Les gotes de pluja relliscaven pel vidre com les seves esperances a punt de desaparèixer.
En: The raindrops slipped down the glass like his hopes, about to disappear.
Ca: Amb només dotze anys, era el més gran dels nens de l'orfenat, i temia quedar-se sol per sempre.
En: At only twelve years old, he was the oldest of the children in the orphanage, and he feared being alone forever.
Ca: Aquest matí, una parella, Marta i Carles, havien arribat amb la intenció d'adoptar.
En: That morning, a couple, Marta and Carles, had arrived with the intention of adopting.
Ca: Però ara, amb la tempesta que amenaçava, tenien dubtes de si era prudent portar un nen al seu llarg viatge cap a casa.
En: But now, with the threatening storm, they had doubts whether it was wise to take a child on their long journey home.
Ca: Les seves veus ressonaven en el passadís mentre comentaven la situació.
En: Their voices echoed in the hallway as they discussed the situation.
Ca: Jordi respirà profundament i decidí actuar.
En: Jordi took a deep breath and decided to act.
Ca: A les mans, estrenyia un petit tros de paper.
En: In his hands, he clutched a small piece of paper.
Ca: Va sortir de l'habitació i caminà fins al saló principal on es trobaven Marta i Carles.
En: He left the room and walked to the main living room where Marta and Carles were.
Ca: El cor li bategava ràpid, però sabia que havia de parlar.
En: His heart was beating fast, but he knew he had to speak.
Ca: "Perdoneu", va dir amb un fil de veu.
En: "Excuse me," he said in a small voice.
Ca: "Puc parlar amb vosaltres un moment?
En: "Can I talk to you for a moment?"
Ca: "Marta i Carles li van fer un gest amical, mirant-lo amb curiositat.
En: Marta and Carles gave him a friendly nod, looking at him with curiosity.
Ca: "A mi m'agrada la tardor", va començar en Jordi, mirant els dos adults.
En: "I like autumn," Jordi began, looking at the two adults.
Ca: "És una estació de canvis.
En: "It's a season of changes.
Ca: Les fulles cauen, però després tornen a créixer.
En: The leaves fall, but then they grow back."
Ca: "Carles somrigué i li preguntà: "I això què significa per a tu?
En: Carles smiled and asked him, "And what does that mean to you?"
Ca: "Jordi va mirar al terra, recollint les paraules dins seu.
En: Jordi looked at the ground, gathering the words within himself.
Ca: "Crec.
En: "I think...
Ca: crec que les famílies també poden canviar.
En: I think families can change too.
Ca: Jo.
En: I...
Ca: jo voldria canvi, una nova oportunitat.
En: I want change, a new opportunity.
Ca: Vull una família.
En: I want a family."
Ca: "L'honestedat dels seus ulls va tocar el cor de Marta.
En: The honesty in his eyes touched Marta's heart.
Ca: Sabia que aquell era el moment de la veritat.
En: She knew this was the moment of truth.
Ca: El vent de fora bufava amb força, però dins el saló, una nova llum brillava.
En: The wind outside blew fiercely, but inside the living room, a new light shone.
Ca: "Jordi", va dir Carles, "no t'has de preocupar.
En: "Jordi," Carles said, "you don't need to worry.
Ca: Estem aquí per conèixer-te, i la pluja no canviarà això.
En: We're here to get to know you, and the rain won't change that."
Ca: "Marta va agafar la mà de Jordi, sentint la calidesa i la valentia d'aquell gest.
En: Marta took Jordi's hand, feeling the warmth and courage in that gesture.
Ca: "Ens agradaria molt que fossis part de la nostra família.
En: "We would love for you to be part of our family."
Ca: "El soroll del tro resonà fora, marcant l'instant en què la inseguretat de Jordi es transformava en esperança i alegria.
En: The sound of thunder echoed outside, marking the moment when Jordi's uncertainty transformed into hope and joy.
Ca: Ell va respirar alleujat, el cor ple de gratitud.
En: He breathed a sigh of relief, his heart full of gratitude.
Ca: Mentre la tempesta continuava, Marta i Carles van decidir emprendre el seu camí amb Jordi, sabent que l'amor que unia les seves noves vides era més fort que qualsevol tempesta.
En: While the storm continued, Marta and Carles decided to begin their journey with Jordi, knowing that the love binding their new lives was stronger than any storm.
Ca: Aquell dia de tardor, amb els colors canviants de Barcelona al seu voltant, Jordi va aprendre que obrirse era la clau per trobar el que tant desitjava: una llar.
En: That autumn day, with the changing colors of Barcelona around him, Jordi learned that opening up was the key to finding what he so longed for: a home.
