I don't understand Spanish, but unless there's something particularly objectionable in the lyrics/text I don't see anything wrong with putting alternative lyrics to a Beatles song. Having spent the time and money on producing a professional music recording and advert I'd be amazed if the makers hadn't paid the required royalties for the use of the "Hej Jude" tune. Having watched Michael Jackson's disturbing recent Final FINAL FINAL tour announcement the last thing I'd want is him chasing me for money.... all legal accusations aside, he just looks like something parents would use to scare their children into behaving.
