Les flors de ceràmica brillaven sota el sol d'estiu.
The ceramic flowers shone under the summer sun.
El Parc Güell estava ple de vida.
Parc Güell was full of life.
Turistes i locals gaudien del dia, però la veritable atracció era la nova exposició d'art.
Tourists and locals enjoyed the day, but the true attraction was the new art exhibition.
Allà, a la distància, es veia a Carlota, observant amb atenció una peça vibrant.
There, in the distance, Carlota could be seen, attentively observing a vibrant piece.
Tenia una mirada concentrada, però una inquietud amagat al seu cor.
She had a focused look but an uneasiness hidden in her heart.
Carlota era apassionada per l'art.
Carlota was passionate about art.
La inspirava i emocionava, però la seva por als compromisos l'havia mantingut allunyada de relacions personals profundes.
It inspired and moved her, but her fear of commitments had kept her away from deep personal relationships.
Estava a la recerca d'alguna cosa genuïna.
She was in search of something genuine.
Mentre passava d'una obra a l'altra, es va trobar amb Jordi, un jove artista local.
As she moved from one work to another, she encountered Jordi, a young local artist.
Jordi lluitava per trobar el seu camí com a artista.
Jordi struggled to find his path as an artist.
Els reconeixements escassejaven, però la seva il·lusió no defallia.
Recognition was scarce, but his enthusiasm did not wane.
Quan va veure a Carlota mirant suaument les seves pintures, va sentir-se animat.
When he saw Carlota softly looking at his paintings, he felt encouraged.
Era la primera vegada que algú mostrava un interès genuí pel seu treball.
It was the first time someone showed a genuine interest in his work.
Els seus camins es van creuar davant una escultura que Jordi havia creat.
Their paths crossed in front of a sculpture that Jordi had created.
Les seves formes dinàmiques semblaven dansar amb el vent.
Its dynamic shapes seemed to dance with the wind.
"Aquesta és la meva preferida," va dir Carlota, trencant el silenci.
"This is my favorite," said Carlota, breaking the silence.
"És meva," va respondre Jordi amb un somriure tímid.
"It's mine," replied Jordi with a shy smile.
I així va començar una conversa plena d'emocions i confidències.
And so began a conversation full of emotions and confidences.
A mesura que l'estiu avançava, Carlota i Jordi es trobaven sovint al parc.
As the summer progressed, Carlota and Jordi often met at the park.
Parlaven de l'art i de la vida, explorant els colors i les formes que els envoltaven.
They talked about art and life, exploring the colors and shapes that surrounded them.
Però cada vegada que es desviaven cap a sentiments més personals, Carlota es tancava una mica més.
But every time they veered towards more personal feelings, Carlota closed off a little more.
En una de les caloroses vetllades d'estiu, el Parc Güell brillava amb llums i música.
On one of the hot summer evenings, Parc Güell glowed with lights and music.
Era un esdeveniment especial.
It was a special event.
Jordi havia rebut una notícia, la seva obra seria la protagonista de la nit.
Jordi had received news that his work would be the highlight of the night.
Però dins seu, temia que Carlota només apreciés la seva art i no a ell com a persona.
But inside, he feared that Carlota only appreciated his art and not him as a person.
Carlota, per la seva banda, es debatia entre la por i el desig d'estimar.
Carlota, on her part, was torn between fear and the desire to love.
Sabia que havia arribat el moment de superar les seves barreres.
She knew the time had come to overcome her barriers.
Quan la multitud va començar a congregar-se al voltant de les obres de Jordi, ella va donar un pas endavant.
When the crowd started gathering around Jordi's works, she stepped forward.
"Dones i cavallers," va dir, la seva veu clara i segura.
"Ladies and gentlemen," she said, her voice clear and confident.
"Aquesta obra no només parla de colors i formes.
"This piece is not just about colors and shapes.
Parla de sentiments, i aquests són els sentiments de Jordi.
It speaks of emotions, and these are Jordi's emotions."
"Jordi, sorprès, va apropar-se a Carlota, sentint com la seva por es dissolia.
Jordi, surprised, approached Carlota, feeling his fear dissolve.
"Carlota," va murmurar, "tu veus més enllà del meu art.
"Carlota," he murmured, "you see beyond my art.
Gràcies per ser aquí, per veure’m de veritat.
Thank you for being here, for truly seeing me."
"Els focs artificials de Sant Joan brillaren al fons.

La gent aplaudia, no només per les obres d'art, sinó també per la complicitat entre els dos joves.
The people applauded, not just for the artworks, but also for the connection between the two young people.
Després de la festa, Carlota i Jordi van caminar junts pel Parc, sota el cel clar de Barcelona.

Van parlar sense parar.

This time, about themselves, without fear.
A mesura que arribava la nit, havien trobat no només inspiració sinó també esperança en una nova connexió veritable.
As the night arrived, they found not only inspiration but also hope in a new true connection.
Junts, van deixar el Parc Güell, sabent que el seu camí acabava de començar.

L'estiu els somreia, i Barcelona, amb els seus colors, els acollia amb calidesa i amor.
Summer smiled upon them, and Barcelona, with its colors, warmly welcomed them with love.
