Nuno trabalha numa rádio local em Lisboa. Todos os dias fala ao microfone e diz muitas coisas: diz as notícias, diz a temperatura, diz os nomes das músicas. As pessoas ouvem a voz do Nuno e dizem: "Que voz bonita!" Nuno sorri — no trabalho, dizer coisas é fácil.
Nuno works at a local radio station in Lisbon. Every day he speaks into the microphone and says many things: he says the news, the temperature, the names of the songs. People hear Nuno's voice and say: "What a beautiful voice!" Nuno smiles — at work, saying things is easy.
Em casa, é diferente. A namorada, Sara, diz que Nuno não fala muito. "Nunca dizes o que sentes", diz ela. "Digo, sim", diz Nuno. "Digo 'bom dia', 'boa noite', 'obrigado'." "Isso não conta", diz Sara. "Quero que digas o que pensas de verdade."
At home, it's different. His girlfriend Sara says Nuno doesn't talk much. "You never say what you feel," she says. "I do," says Nuno. "I say 'good morning', 'good night', 'thank you'." "That doesn't count," says Sara. "I want you to say what you really think."
