     Alguns xiuxiuejaven, o s'abraçaven amb unes carantoines a mig camí entre la lluita i la fraternitat, però aquests tampoc em treien els ulls del damunt.

     Some whispered, or they hugged with caressess that were halfway between fight and brotherhood, but those did not take their eyes off me either.
