Pb: O som constante das cataratas preenchia o ar, criando um ritmo quase hipnótico.
En: The constant sound of the waterfalls filled the air, creating an almost hypnotic rhythm.
Pb: Luciana estava parada na margem, observando a água cair com força em Iguaçu.
En: Luciana stood on the shore, watching the water fall forcefully at Iguaçu.
Pb: Era abril, outono no hemisfério sul, e as folhas começavam a tingir-se de tons alaranjados.

Pb: De volta para o reencontro familiar que há muito adiava.
En: Back for the family reunion she had long postponed.
Pb: "Parece que você encontrou um tempo para nós, finalmente," disse Rafael, aproximando-se devagar.
