Imaxina

Jonh Lennon- Imaxina

Imaxina que non exista o ceo, 
é fácil se o intentas. 
Sen o inferno de baixo nosa, 
arriba de nós, só o ceo. 
Imaxina a toda a xente,
vivindo para hoxe…
Imaxina que non hay países,
non é difícil de facer. 
Ninguén por quen matar ou morrer, 
nin tampouco relixión. 
Imaxina a toda a xente vivindo a vida en paz…

Podes dicir que son un soñador,
pero non son o único, 
espero que algún día te unas a nós, 
e o mundo vivirá como un.

Imaxina que non hai posesións, 
quixera saber si podes, 
sen necesidade de gula ou fama, 
unha irmandade de homes. 
Imaxínate a toda a xente compartindo o mundo.

Podes dicir que son un soñador,
pero non son o único, 
espero que algún día te unas a nós, 
e o mundo vivirá como un.

Rich and poor families

In Victorian times, many families had 10 or more children. Sadly, many children died as babies, or from diseases such as smallpox and diphtheria. In a Victorian town, it was easy to tell who was rich and who was poor. Children from richer homes were well fed, wore warm clothes and had shoes on their feet. They did not work, but went to school or had lessons at home.
