Id: Di tengah musim hujan di Bali, desa kecil itu terasa magis.
En: In the middle of the rainy season in Bali, the small village felt magical.

Id: Hujan rintik membasahi atap-atap rumah dan pepohonan hijau segar menyelimuti sekeliling.
En: The drizzle wetted the rooftops and the fresh green trees enveloped the surroundings.

Id: Suara tetabuhan gamelan dan aroma dupa memenuhi udara, menandakan perayaan Galungan yang suci sedang berlangsung.
En: The sound of gamelan music and the aroma of incense filled the air, marking the sacred Galungan celebration in progress.

Id: Ia kembali dengan harapan bisa menemukan kembali akar budayanya.

En: "I am ready to try anything, Dewi.

Id: Ketakutanku semakin besar.
En: My fear has grown greater.

Id: Setiap hari aku takut lupa lebih banyak," jawab Agus lirih.
En: Every day I fear forgetting more," Agus responded softly.
