Pb: O som ensurdecedor das águas caindo era quase como uma melodia antiga para ele.

Pb: O sol fraco de inverno mal atravessava a densa neblina que se formava, envolvendo tudo numa sensação mágica e misteriosa.

Pb: No entanto, sentia-se preso numa rotina que já não o inspirava.

Pb: Ele parou num mirante.
En: He stopped at a viewpoint.

Pb: "Vocês sabiam que essas cataratas são mais antigas que qualquer coisa que podemos imaginar?"
En: "Did you know that these waterfalls are older than anything we can imagine?"

Pb: começou, desviando-se do roteiro costumeiro.
En: he began, diverging from the usual script.

Pb: "Elas sempre estiveram aqui, mudando, sem medo do tempo."
En: "They have always been here, changing, unafraid of time."

Pb: Rafaela, fascinada, aproximou-se.

Pb: "Como você consegue fazer isso todos os dias e ainda ver algo de novo?"
En: "How do you manage to do this every day and still see something new?"

Pb: perguntou, a dúvida estampada em sua voz.
En: she asked, the doubt evident in her voice.

Pb: Matheus hesitou, mas então decidiu.
En: Matheus hesitated but then decided.

Pb: "Às vezes, eu também me perco na rotina.
En: "Sometimes, I also get lost in the routine.

Pb: Mas histórias como essas – de mudanças e adaptabilidade – me lembram do que ainda posso ser."
En: But stories like these — of change and adaptability — remind me of what I can still become."

Pb: O grupo parou.
En: The group stopped.

En: In front of the magnitude of the waterfalls, Rafaela felt small but alive.
