And another time, on the same route, during the crossing of the same ocean, night had begun as before and in the lounge on the main deck there was a sudden burst of music, a Chopin waltz which she knew secretly, personally, because for months she had tried to learn it, though she never managed to play it properly, never, and that was why her mother agreed to let her give up the piano.
Beste behin, bidaia berean, ozeano bera zeharkatzen ari ginela, gaua hasi berria orduan ere, zubi nagusiko saloi handian Chopinen vals bat hasi zen eztanda baten pare, modu isilpeko eta barneko batez ezagutzen zuena, hilabetetan saiatua baitzen hura jotzen ikasten eta sekula ez baitzuen lortu behar bezala jotzerik, sekula ez, eta hori zela-eta eman baitzuen amore bere amak, berehala, eta pianoa alde batera uzteko baimena eman.
