Pt: Era um espetáculo maravilhoso ver tantas chamas pequenas desenhando um rio de luz.

Pt: Tiago segurava uma vela, compenetrado, enquanto Camila assistia-o atentamente, cheia de pensamentos conflituosos.
En: Tiago held a candle, absorbed, while Camila watched him closely, filled with conflicting thoughts.

Pt: Foi durante esse momento que Tiago parou.

En: After the procession, they sat on a bench, away from the crowd.
