Pt: Lisboa estava coberta por um frio suave, e o espírito natalício enchia os corredores da escola.
En: Lisboa was covered by a gentle cold, and the Christmas spirit was filling the school corridors.
Pt: Estrelas de papel e luzinhas cintilantes dançavam no teto.
En: Paper stars and twinkling lights danced on the ceiling.
Pt: Havia sorrisos em toda parte, mas um estudante estava ansioso.
En: There were smiles everywhere, but one student was anxious.
Pt: Leandro.
En: Leandro.
Pt: Leandro era um rapaz tímido, mas tinha um talento especial para tocar piano.
En: Leandro was a shy boy but had a special talent for playing the piano.
Pt: No entanto, o medo assombrava suas apresentações.
En: However, fear haunted his performances.
Pt: Tremia só de pensar em tocar na frente de todos.
En: He trembled just thinking about playing in front of everyone.
Pt: A grande performance de Natal aproximava-se, e Leandro não sabia se conseguiria enfrentar o palco.
En: The big Christmas performance was approaching, and Leandro didn't know if he could face the stage.
Pt: Camila, por outro lado, era brilhante e extrovertida.
En: Camila, on the other hand, was brilliant and outgoing.
Pt: Ela liderava o coro da escola e adorava as canções de Natal.
En: She led the school choir and loved Christmas songs.
Pt: Quando ela soube das dificuldades de Leandro, decidiu que iria ajudar.
En: When she learned about Leandro's difficulties, she decided she would help.
Pt: Amizade é sobre ajudar nos tempos difíceis, afinal.
En: Friendship is about helping in tough times, after all.
Pt: "Leandro, vamos tentar juntos," propôs Camila, com um sorriso caloroso.
En: "Leandro, let's try together," proposed Camila, with a warm smile.
Pt: "Podemos fazer pequenas sessões.
En: "We can do small sessions.
Pt: Vou ajudar-te a ganhar confiança!"
En: I'll help you gain confidence!"
Pt: Leandro hesitou, mas, no fundo, queria superar seu medo.
En: Leandro hesitated, but deep down, he wanted to overcome his fear.
Pt: Com um aceno de cabeça, ele aceitou a ajuda.
En: With a nod, he accepted the help.
Pt: Os dois começaram a se encontrar após as aulas na pequena sala de música.
En: The two began meeting after classes in the small music room.
Pt: Camila cantava enquanto Leandro tocava.
En: Camila sang while Leandro played.
Pt: Aos poucos, Leandro começou a relaxar.
En: Slowly, Leandro began to relax.
Pt: Eles riam e inventavam novas versões das canções tradicionais.
En: They laughed and created new versions of traditional songs.
Pt: Camila dava dicas e, especialmente, incentivo.
En: Camila gave tips and, especially, encouragement.
Pt: "Podes fazer isso, Leandro.
En: "You can do this, Leandro.
Pt: Só precisas de acreditar em ti mesmo," dizia ela animadamente.
En: You just need to believe in yourself," she said excitedly.
Pt: A semana do concerto chegou, e a escola estava vibrando de excitação.
En: The week of the concert arrived, and the school was buzzing with excitement.
Pt: Era o dia do ensaio geral.
En: It was the day of the dress rehearsal.
Pt: As luzes estavam apagadas, exceto no palco.

Pt: Leandro quase gelou quando chegou sua vez de tocar.
