Pt: A primavera trouxe luz nova à Escola Secundária Pública de Lisboa.
En: Spring brought a new light to the Escola Secundária Pública de Lisboa.

Pt: Páscoa estava ao virar da esquina, e com ela, o tão aguardado espetáculo musical da escola.
En: Easter was just around the corner, and with it, the much-anticipated school musical performance.

Pt: O auditório estava enfeitado com faixas de cores pastel e luzes cintilantes.

Pt: Matias estava nos bastidores, apertando as cordas da sua guitarra acústica.
En: Matias was backstage, tightening the strings of his acoustic guitar.

Pt: Era talentoso, sem dúvida, mas um medo paralisante de falhar o impedia de mostrar ao mundo aquilo que melhor fazia.
En: He was talented, no doubt, but a paralyzing fear of failure kept him from showing the world what he did best.

Pt: Em contraste, Camila, sua amiga confiante e líder vocal do musical, caminhava pelo palco com facilidade, conversando animadamente com os outros músicos e ajustando o microfone.
En: In contrast, Camila, his confident friend and the lead singer of the musical, walked around the stage with ease, chatting animatedly with the other musicians and adjusting the microphone.

Pt: “Estás bem, Matias?” perguntou ela, lançando-lhe um sorriso encorajador.
En: “Are you okay, Matias?” she asked, giving him an encouraging smile.

Pt: Matias suspirou, os olhos fixos no chão.
En: Matias sighed, his eyes fixed on the floor.

Pt: “Ainda não sei se consigo”, respondeu ele, hesitante.
En: “I still don’t know if I can do it,” he replied, hesitant.

Pt: Camila aproximou-se e pousou uma mão no ombro dele.
En: Camila came closer and placed a hand on his shoulder.

Pt: “Lembras-te daquela música que escreveste?
En: “Do you remember that song you wrote?

Pt: É linda.
En: It's beautiful.

Pt: As pessoas precisam ouvi-la.
En: People need to hear it.

Pt: Vamos praticar depois das aulas, só nós, sem pressão.” Os dias que se seguiram foram de prática intensa, mas num ambiente acolhedor e seguro.
En: Let's practice after school, just us, no pressure.” The days that followed were filled with intense practice, but in a warm and safe environment.

Pt: Camila ensinou-lhe truques para acalmar os nervos e a importância de compartilhar a sua música, não importando os erros que pudesse cometer.
En: Camila taught him tricks to calm his nerves and the importance of sharing his music, no matter what mistakes he might make.

Pt: Na noite da apresentação, as cadeiras do auditório estavam cheias de alunos e professores.
En: On the night of the performance, the auditorium seats were filled with students and teachers.

Pt: Matias estava nos bastidores, nervoso.
En: Matias was backstage, nervous.

Pt: O som do ajustamento da sua guitarra ecoava baixinho.
En: The sound of his guitar adjustments echoed softly.

Pt: Camila procurou seu olhar e fez-lhe uma pequena vénia, como que a dizer: “Confio em ti”.
En: Camila caught his eye and gave him a small bow, as if to say, "I trust you."

Pt: Era hora de subir ao palco.
En: It was time to go on stage.<
