Hey
James Last And His Orchestra Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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'll begin to make it
Better better better better better better, oh





Na na na nananana, nannana, hey Jude

Overall Meaning

The song "Hey Jude" by James Last is a cover of The Beatles' iconic hit, which was one of Paul McCartney's longest compositions. The song is about providing emotional support to someone going through a tough time. The first verse tells the listener not to fret and to take "a sad song and make it better," implying that the person in question may be experiencing difficult times. It is suggested that he should allow his lover into his heart and let her comfort him during these challenging times, which would cause the pain to decrease and make things better. 


The second verse implores the listener not to be frightened and to take control of the situation. Rather than just sitting idly by and being afraid of attempting to pursue the woman he desires, he should seize the moment and go out to find her. Once he begins to trust his instincts, he will discover that he can make things better for himself. The chorus repeats the message from the first verse, encouraging the listener to let out his pain and allow it to heal by bringing his loved one close. The lyrics suggest that the listener should not be concerned with the inconsiderate world and the judgement of others, but rather with their own happiness.

Hey!
It's wonderful to see you once again
To see your smile and hear you call my name
There is so much to say.

Hey!
It isn't accidental that we met
Your love is something that I can't forget
So I wander your way.

Hey!
If one of us won't try to dry the tears
Tomorrow is the world of yesteryears
Let us live for today.

Hey!
Although we played a game of love and lost
I wouldn't change a single dream because
If you loose you must pay.

It's true
I've have so many others loves to share
But I will close my eyes and you'll be there
No matter where I go, you're ev'rywhere Er, Er...

If you
Come back to me and see how much I care
I only want to live if you are there
To give your love to me.

Hey!
Don't let me spend another day alone
Remember all the happiness we've known
Lets relive yesterday.

Hey!
We've known a world of loneliness and pain
We'll never make the same mistakes again
May if only you'll stay.

It's true
I've have so many others loves to share
But I will close my eyes and you'll be there
No matter where I go, you're everywhere Er, Er...

If you
Come back to me and see how much I care
I only want to live if you are there
To be with you I'd travel anywhere Er, Er

It's true...
