经典英文歌曲:甲壳虫乐队老歌《Hey Jude》压轴伦敦奥运会开幕式

 甲壳虫乐队老歌《Hey Jude》将压轴伦敦奥运会开幕式

 

根据《星期日泰晤士报》报道，伦敦奥运会的开幕式将重现一些历史场景，并以“甲壳虫”乐队的老歌“Hey Jude（嘿，裘德）”结束。这个传奇老牌乐队热切希望全球数以亿计的电视观众一同合唱"Hey Jude"的经典旋律“nah-nah-nah-nah"。

 

这首歌曲于1968年发行，传说是在歌手约翰·列侬离婚期间，用来安抚儿子朱利安所创作的。一经推出就在澳大利亚单曲榜上蝉联12周冠军，7分钟的时长也使其成为英国排行榜最长的单曲。

 

歌词：

 

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, refrain¹

Don't carry the world upon² your shoulders

For well you know that it's a fool who plays it cool

By making his world a little colder

Na Na Na Na Na Na-Na-Na-Na-Na

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 movement³ you need is on your shoulder

Na Na Na Na Na Na-Na-Na-Na-Na

Hey Jude, don't make it bad

Take a sad song and make it better

Remember to let her under your skin,

Then you'll begin to make it

Better better better better better better, YEAH.

Na na na, na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na, hey Jude...

Na na na, na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na, hey Jude...

Na na na, na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na, hey Jude...

Na na na, na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na, hey Jude...
