Story Transcript:
Pb: O vapor suave das Cataratas do Iguaçu criava uma névoa mágica ao redor.
En: The gentle mist of the Cataratas do Iguaçu created a magical haze all around.
Pb: As águas caiam com força, mas havia uma paz naquelas muitas quedas.
En: The waters fell powerfully, yet there was a peace in those many falls.
Pb: Thiago olhava para o horizonte, perdido em seus pensamentos, enquanto Camila e Mateus caminhavam ao seu lado, em silĂŞncio.
En: Thiago gazed at the horizon, lost in his thoughts, while Camila and Mateus walked beside him in silence.
Pb: Camila, com seus 12 anos, tinha cabelos longos e escuros, que brilhavam com a umidade.
En: Camila, at 12 years old, had long dark hair that shone with the humidity.
Pb: Ela segurava firme a mĂŁo de seu irmĂŁo mais novo, Mateus, que nĂŁo deixava de admirar as borboletas que passavam por ali.
En: She held tightly to the hand of her younger brother, Mateus, who couldn't stop admiring the butterflies that flew by.
Pb: As crianças estavam divididas entre gostar daquele lugar maravilhoso e recordar o motivo de estarem ali juntos, sem a mãe.
En: The children were torn between enjoying that wonderful place and remembering the reason they were there together without their mother.
Pb: "Vamos sentar ali um pouco", sugeriu Thiago, apontando para um banco de madeira com vista para as cataratas.
En: "Let's sit over there for a bit," suggested Thiago, pointing to a wooden bench with a view of the falls.
Pb: As crianças concordaram com um aceno de cabeça e seguiram o pai.
En: The children agreed with a nod and followed their father.
Pb: Thiago estava nervoso.
En: Thiago was nervous.
Pb: Ele sabia que precisava falar, mas não sabia por onde começar.
En: He knew he needed to speak, but he didn’t know where to start.
Pb: "A natureza aqui é linda, né?" disse ele, tentando puxar assunto.
En: "The nature here is beautiful, isn’t it?" he said, trying to start a conversation.
Pb: Camila olhou para ele, deu um pequeno sorriso e respondeu: "Sim, aqui Ă© incrĂvel".
En: Camila looked at him, gave a small smile, and replied, "Yes, it's amazing here."
Pb: Mateus continuava olhando as borboletas.
En: Mateus kept looking at the butterflies.
Pb: As palavras nĂŁo saĂam fácil para Thiago, mas ele precisava tentar.
En: Words didn't come easily to Thiago, but he needed to try.
Pb: "Eu sei que tem sido difĂcil para vocĂŞs... para todos nĂłs." começou Thiago, com um tom sĂ©rio, mas doce.
En: "I know it's been hard for you... for all of us," Thiago began, with a tone that was serious but gentle.
Pb: "Eu sinto muito por tudo isso. Eu queria tanto poder voltar atrás."
En: "I’m so sorry for all of this. I wish I could go back."
Pb: Camila olhou nos olhos do pai, e, pela primeira vez, pareceu ouvir as suas palavras.
En: Camila looked into her father's eyes, and for the first time, seemed to hear his words.
Pb: Mateus, com apenas 8 anos, olhava sem entender completamente, mas sentia que era um momento importante.
En: Mateus, just 8 years old, watched without fully understanding but sensed it was an important moment.
Pb: "Pai, a gente sente sua falta", disse Camila, a voz um pouco embargada.
En: "Dad, we miss you," said Camila, her voice a little choked up.
Pb: "Mas é estranho. Você não está mais em casa."
En: "But it's strange. You're not at home anymore."
Pb:
