HEY JUDE (The Beatles) Translation

Hey jude, dont 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, dont 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,
Dont carry the world upon your shoulders.
For well you know that its a fool who plays it cool
By making his world a little colder.

Hey jude, dont 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,
Youre waiting for someone to perform with.
And dont you know that its just you, hey jude, youll do,
The movement you need is on your shoulder.

Hey jude, dont make it bad.
Take a sad song and make it better.
Remember to let her under your skin,
Then youll begin to make it
Better better better better better better, oh.

Na na na na na ,na na na, hey jude...



Hey Jude, no ho espatllis,

Agafa una cançó trista i millora-la,

Recorda de deixar-la entrar en el teu cor,

Després podràs començar a fer-la millor.

Hey Jude, no tinguis por,

Estàs feta per anar-hi i aconseguir-la,

Desde el minut en que la deixis sota la teva pell,

Ja començes a millorar-la.

I cada cop que sentis el dolor,

Hey Jude, atura’t,

No carreguis amb el món a les teves espatlles.

Perquè saps molt bé que és d’idiotes,

Anar de guai,

Fent el seu món una mica més fred.

NANANA..

Hey Judes, no em fallis,

Ja l’has trobada, ara vés i aconsegueix-la,

Recorda de deixar-la entrar en el teu cor,

Després podràs començar a fer-la millor.

Així que deixa-la al seu aire,

Hey Jude, comença ja,

Estàs esperant per algú amb qui tocar,

I no saps que ets precisament tú,

Hey Jude, ho faràs,

El moviment que necessites està a les teves espatlles.

NANANANA...

Hey Jude, no ho espatllis,

Agafa una cançó trista i millora-la,

Recorda de deixar-la entrar en el teu cor,

Després podràs començar a fer-la millor.

NANANA..

Brainy Beverage


From "Think in English" nº27, page 6.

In Japan the scientists have done an study. The study reveals that people who consume half a litre or less of alcohol drinks per day (moderate drinkers) are more intelligent than persons who never consume alcohol (teetotallers). They have examined 2000 men and women aged between 40 and 79. But it's not sure that the alcohol makes you brainy, because people who drink sake in Japan, consume more raw fish, and people who drink whine tend to eat more cheese, so the relationship could be indirect.

Love at first sight

From "Think in English" nº28, page 4.

A new Jewish dating agency in New York has invented the "Speed-Dating". They meet groups of 50 people, 25 womens and 25 mens, and they organize contacts with this different people. Each contact lasts just seven minutes. Then, if two persons of the group want to have another contact, the agency organizes another contact. We can call it love at first sight.

Bad Parents

From "Think in English", nº25, page 5.

Parents of girls of Britain are terrified by the risk that they daughters can suffer If they go out, because they think that the daughters could be abducted or abused, so they keep them inside and they don't allow them to go out. Recent studies suggest that this is a negative influence and it's bad for their health. Parents allow their daughters to go out less than their sons. By the age of five girls are already taking less exercise than boys, this leads to health problems in later life. If parents allow them to go out much more, they could haven't this problems. Meanwhile, another report suggests that British girls are cleverer than boys in GLSES and A levels.
