“JULIA”
(Lennon-Rosemary)
This is my humble tribute to John Lennon.
I wrote the Spanish lyrics for his song “Julia“, dedicated to his mother, Julia Stanley, who was knocked down and killed by a car driven by a drunk off-duty police officer when John was barely 17 years old. Julia Lennon had encouraged her son’s interest in music and bought him his first guitar.
John’s father (Alfred Lennon) was called “Alf“ & was often away at sea during World War II, so Alf didn’t see much his child John during his infancy.
“JULIA”
(Lennon-Rosemary)
(Spanish lyrics & performing: Cristian Rosemary)
Julia Stanley mece al niño John
y Alf es un marino ausente.
Julia,
Julia
¿dónde vas?
Lejos…
John está buscándote,
Julia.
Julia,
Paz lunar
Ser de mar
Brisa
John está llamándote,
Julia.
Julia es hermosa como un arrebol,
como el sol,
y se va.
Julia,
