Conto cantado realizado polo alumnado do primeiro ciclo do Ceip de Barrantes, dentro do Proxecto de Innovación en Dinamización Lingüística para o curso 2011/12
Consulta aquí a letra:
Estaba o Kandinsky dentro dun bar en Barrantes, era no Foguete, nun bar daqueles de antes...
Pintaba o Cunqueiro fumando dentro dun cadro, logo o cadro ardía coa cinza daquel cigarro...
Sácame de aquí, non ves que me estou queimando!
Cunqueiro non pode arder!
Porque nós ímolo ler,
Cunqueiro non pode arder,
escoita Kandinsky deberialo saber!
Saíron os dous xuntos fóra do Foguete,
e viron un corvo nun paraugas de xoguete,
a chuvia chegou e levounos o vento,
e dixo o Cunqueiro: son rei do meu pensamento,
Pepe de Cobián, dacabalo dun chimpín,
un elefante rosa voando onda min...
Moi grande é o mundo de dios!
O corvo dixo: si, ho!!
Moi grande é o mundo de dios... pero todo colle na miña imaxinación!!
