KARAOKE

.

How many roads must a man walk down
Before you call him a man
How many seas must a white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand
How many times must the cannonballs fly
Before they are forever banned.

The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind
The answer is blowing in the wind

How many years can a mountain exist
Before it is washed to the sea
How many years can some people exist
Before they're allowed to be free
How many times can a man turn his head
And pretend that he just doesn't see

The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind
The answer is blowing in the wind

How many times must a man look up
Before he can see the sky
How many ears must one man have
Before he can hear people cry
How many deaths will it take till he knows
That too many people have died

The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind
The answer is blowing in the wind

Oh My Darling Clementine

In a cavern, in a canyon,
Excavating for a mine
Lived a miner forty niner,
And his daughter Clementine

Oh my darling, oh my darling,
Oh my darling, Clementine!
You are lost and gone forever
Dreadful sorry, Clementine

Light she was and like a feather,
And her shoes were number nine,
Herring boxes, without topses,
Sandals were for Clementine.

Drove her ducklings to the water
Ev'ry morning just at nine,
Struck her foot against a splinter,
Fell into the foaming brine.

Ruby lips above the water,
Blowing bubbles, soft and fine,
But, alas, I was no swimmer,
So I lost my Clementine.

How I missed her! How I missed her,
How I missed my Clementine,
But I kissed her little sister,
I forgot my Clementine.

Oh my darling, oh my darling,
Oh my darling, Clementine!
You are lost and gone forever
Dreadful sorry, Clementine

Hop: saltar con un pie, a la pata coja
He hopped around the room looking for his other foot.
Hay autobuses turísticos que se llaman Hop-on/hop-off, porque te montas de un salto a ellos.

Leap: dar un salto hacia delante con un pie cada vez
She leapt over the stream with a leap.

Skip: saltar repetidamente de alegria, o como una piedra sobre el agua, "brincar".
They were skipping the rope. (saltar la comba)

Jump: saltar con los dos pies juntos

IMPERSONAL "YOU"

Impersonal “You”

Usually, the pronoun you refers to the person or group of people that the speaker is talking to. For example:“You must complete this project by tomorrow!”“You are the best students I've ever had.”“What do you plan to do about this?”Sometimes, “you” does not refer to any one person or any one group of people. Instead, it refers to anyone or everyone. In these cases, “you” has the same meaning as “people”:“People have to work very hard to make a dollar these days.”“You have to work very hard to make a dollar these days.”
“It is so smoggy in Los Angeles, that people can barely breathe.”“It is so smoggy in Los Angeles, that you can barely breathe.”
“The only place people can get great pizza is in Chicago.”“The only place you can get great pizza is in Chicago.”The pronoun “they” has a similar usage, but is more often used to refer to a specific group of people:“They say that it will be a cold winter this year.” (“They” refers generally to experts on the weather.)“They are going to raise taxes again.” (“They” refers generally to politicians or to the government.)
