Imagine

Imaxina - John Lennon

Imaxina que non exista o ceo, 

é fácil se o intentas. 

Sen o Inferno debaixo 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, 

gustaríame 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 coma un so.

The Victorian age in British history is named after Queen Victoria, who was Britain's queen from 1837 until 1901. Only richer families could afford to pay the school fees, though some schools gave free places to poor boys. Girls did not go to school when the Victorian age began. Some were taught at home, but most girls got little education. Some children pushed trucks of coal along mine tunnels. They were called 'putters'. In Victorian times, many families had 10 or more children. Sadly, many children died as babies, or from diseases such as smallpox anddiphtheria. Many Victorian children were poor and worked to help their families. Although many children worked in Victorian times, they still had time to play.
