Le Globe 

Offrons le globe aux enfants, au moins pour une journée.
Donnons-le leur afin qu’ils en jouent comme d’un ballon multicolore
Pour qu’ils jouent en chantant parmi les étoiles.
Offrons le globe aux enfants,
Donnons-le leur comme une énorme pomme
Comme une boule de pain toute chaude,
Qu’une journée au moins ils puissent manger à leur faim.
Offrons le globe aux enfants,
Qu’une journée au moins le globe apprenne la camaraderie,
Les enfants prendront de nos mains le globe,

Ils y planteront des arbres immortels.

Agora que você já está craque em utilizar o pronome Te, vamos ao Lhe! O pronome “lhe” é usado para substituir o complemento de um verbo indireto, ou seja, um verbo que exige a preposição (a, para ) como antecedente na terceira pessoa do singular, seja ela qual for: Ele, Ela ou Você. Exemplo: Paguei a José. Quem paga, paga alguma coisa A alguém: Paguei-lhe Paguei a Bruna. Paguei-lhe Exatamente igual, não importa se o final da frase, se o complemento for masculino ou feminino. O pronome lhe serve para os dois gêneros! Mais exemplos: Eu dei um conselho para você. Querendo substituir “para você”. Eu lhe dei um conselho Nós pedimos uma ajuda a ele. Substituindo “a ele”. Nós lhe pedimos uma ajuda. Eles prometeram os céus a ela. Substituiremos “a ela”. Eles lhe prometeram os céus! É possível pluralizar: Paguei aos meus amigos. Paguei-lhes Uma pausinha para explicar a Pronúncia do Lhe: O som de L e H pronunciados juntos, nós chamamos de dígrafo - quando uma palavra tem consoantes que perdem o som próprio, formando, assim, um único som.
