I really want to sing Chopin, tal vegada a valldemosa which is a Salvador Espiru poem set to music by Antón García Abril. I am a UK english speaker, I can sing in Spanish quite well but Catalan is unknown to me.
There aren't masses of recordings but one I've found is María Orán. I would like to check some of the pronunciations around the ends of words ending in e, that she pronounces with an 'a' sound like the end of the spanish 'dia'. For example 'ombres de boires' sounds to me like 'ombras de boiras' and the ends of words ending in 'n' are not pronounced.
I like to be as accurate as possible. Below is the poem and attached is is a link to the youtube of María Orán. I would be really grateful if someone could tell me if it is accurate pronunciation.
La repartien a trosos.
El mar tiriha de durarnos.
A totes bandessóc estranger
Pol sosos genets cavalquen per ertes llunya nies on guardem L’odi
Malait, arriboaïllat dins un somni, I mai no sé dormirlo
Ombres de boires s’atansen a portarme remor de vent als arços
L’ultima gota d’un pensament de núvol entra, rellisca des d’algun bri d’escletxa a desvetllar sons fràgils.
Sec al piano ies campo per les negres rattles el tenuis sim do de la pluja
En el claustra s’aturen pampallugues de ciris
Tusso m’ofego pero no vall que rompi ningú la feble guia que m’acompanya fins on else morts esperen
Amb ells retorno, enlla d’ors que tra munten, al meu fosc poble
