Dear colleagues, I've been asked by a friend to help her identify the language of the following song lyrics (and possibly provide a rough translation). Might this be Occitan? Any hints are much appreciated! Jo tinc un amor petit i llaminer com un infant. Un amor escadusser que mossega l'esquer i no s'empassa l'ham. Jo tinc un amor rumbós, vermell i sucós com una magrana. Jo tins un amor ... See more Dear colleagues, I've been asked by a friend to help her identify the language of the following song lyrics (and possibly provide a rough translation). Might this be Occitan? Any hints are much appreciated! Jo tinc un amor petit i llaminer com un infant. Un amor escadusser que mossega l'esquer i no s'empassa l'ham. Jo tinc un amor rumbós, vermell i sucós com una magrana. Jo tins un amor amic que mata de gust i que es mor de ganes. Ni cec ni tràgic ni pactat. Ni etern ni màgic ni llogat. Rajant-me pels descosits tinc un amor petit. Jo tinc un amor petit nou com el temps de la saó, que es crema com l'encenall; arriba a cavall i s'enfila als balcons. Jo tinc un amor company que no duu records ni deixa penyores. Jo tinc un amor per tu que es posa a ballar quan li donen corda. Many thanks in advance, kind regards Erik ▲ Collapse | | | AVAT Italy Local time: 13:49 French to Italian + ... Pardon de répondre en français | Jul 7, 2019 |

You could ask in the Spanish forum, I think it's Catalan too. For Google translate too,it is catalan - but the translatin does not really make any sense. | | | AVAT Italy Local time: 13:49 French to Italian + ... Tenez-nous au courant ? | Jul 7, 2019 |
J'ai une petite idée de la traduction mais je n'ose la proposer, je n'ai pas de réelles connaissances du catalan. Comme le suggère Dominique, le mieux est sans doute de demander à nos amis Espagnols. Cependant, ma curiosité de traductrice adorerait connaître la traduction faite par quelqu'un qui maîtrise la langue et la comparer avec ce que je crois être la traduction. | | |
At least according Google. Just paste the first part In Google, and it says that the song has been translated from Catalan to Spanish by Joan Manuel Serrat.

Thanks a lot to everybody! Merci à tous!

It looks like Catalan to me (although I am not a specialist - I can only say 'Llibertat Catalunya!' and 'Barça, mès que un club). The presence of grave accents (à, è) is a strong element in Catalan, also the LL at the end of words, as in traball (spelling?) which means work (like trabajo, trabalho, travail) and Meritxell (girl's name) - not like the Welsh LL though. | | | To report site rules violations or get help, contact a site moderator: You can also contact site staff by submitting a support request » What language is this?
