Hey Jude, don't make it bad
Take a sad song and make it better
Remember to let her into your heart
Then you can start to make it better
Hey Jude, don't be afraid
You were made to go out and get her
The minute you let her under your skin
Then you begin to make it better
And anytime you feel the pain
Hey Jude, refrain
Don't carry the world upon your shoulders
For well you know that it's a fool who plays it cool
By making his world a little colder
Hey Jude don't let me down
You have found her, now go and get her
Remember to let her into your heart
Then you can start to make it better
So let it out and let it in
Hey Jude begin
You're waiting for someone to perform with
And don't you know that it's just you
Hey Jude, you'll do
The movement you need is on your shoulder
Hey Jude, don't make it bad
Take a sad song and make it better
Remember to let her under your skin
Then you begin to make it better
Better, better, better, better, better, oh
Da da da da da
Da da da da hey, Jude.........
嘿!朱德 披頭四合唱團
曲子中提到的 Jude,其實是團員約翰藍儂和首任妻子辛西雅生的兒子朱利安藍儂( Julian Lennon )的暱稱。朱利安藍儂出生以後,曾啟發披頭四某些歌曲的創作,如著名的"Lucy in the sky with diamonds露西戴著鑽石在天上"是源自朱立安在小學美術課上畫的一幅畫。約翰藍儂後來和妻子離婚,平日就很疼愛朱利安的保羅麥卡尼,為了安慰朱利安,和約翰藍儂合寫了這首" Hey, Jude",然後四位團員共同灌錄了這首曲子,送給了朱利安。
出生於1963年四月八日的朱利安藍儂從小就對音樂很有興趣,十歲時開始學吉他、鼓和鋼琴,父親的個人專輯"Walls and bridges"有一首歌曲"Ya Ya"就是由他擔任鼓手,當時他才十一歲而已。1980年,約翰藍儂遇刺身亡,外表和歌聲都和父親神似的朱利安藍儂經過幾年思考,決定克紹箕裘闖蕩樂壇,於1984年推出首張專輯"Valotte",最高昇至專輯排行第十七名,單曲" Valotte "和" Too late for goodbyes "等在單曲排行上都有前十名的佳績。
約翰藍儂離婚後,另與日裔的前衛藝術家小野洋子( Yoko Ono )結婚,生下尚恩藍儂( Sean Lennon ),並寫了一首歌 Beautiful boy 送給尚恩,不過這個時候的披頭四已經解散。長大後的尚恩藍儂,也嘗試踏入樂壇,出過幾張專輯,但和同父異母的兄長朱利安相比,成績並不算出色。
