Yesterday--THE BEATLES (6º primaria)

Aquí os dejo las lyrics de la famosísima canción YESTERDAY de los Beatles



Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away.
Now it looks as though they're here to stay.
Oh, I believe in yesterday.

Suddenly,
I'm not half the man I used to be,
There's a shadow hanging over me,
Oh, yesterday came suddenly.


Why she had to go
I don't know she wouldn't say.
I said something wrong,
Now I long for yesterday.

Yesterday, love was such an easy game to play.
Now I need a place to hide away.
Oh, I believe in yesterday.

Why'd she had to go
I don't know she wouldn't say.
I said something wrong,
Now I long for yesterday.

Yesterday, love was such an easy game to play.
Now I need a place to hide away.
Oh, I believe in yesterday.
Mm mm mm mm mm mm mm

Aquí abajo os dejo el video


y un video que incluye las lyrics



Para mañana miércoles 30 de enero, debéis de escribir en el cuaderno todas las frases en PAST SIMPLE que haya en las canción.
