Cargols
Riu’s class in Barbabum is Cargols, meaning snails. Each kid in the class has an animal name, and her name is also ‘cargol.’
So she’s the cargol of the Cargols.
There’s also a cargol’s song that she likes to sing.
It goes (in Catalan):
Cargol treu banya,
puja a la muntanya.
Cargol treu vi,
puja al muntanyí.Cargol treu banya,
puja a la muntanya.
Cargol bover,
jo també vindré!
In English, that goes:
Snail show your horns,
climb up the mountain,
Snail show wine,
climb up the little hill.Snail show your horns,
climb up the mountain,
Bover Snail,
I’ll come with you!
If this makes no sense to you, then you mustn’t be Catalan.
Riu gets it. Català pur…
