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.

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.
