Translation of the song lyrics Gun Song - The Lumineers

Gun Song (original)

I don’t own a single gun
But if I did, you’d be the one
To hold it, aim it, make all of the bad men run
But I don’t own a single gun
And I don’t have a sweetheart yet
But if I did I’d break my neck
To please her, make her want to stay in my arms she’d rest
But I don’t have a sweetheart yet
I can’t believe what I found in daddy’s sock drawer, sock drawer today
It was a pistol, a Smith & Wesson, holy, holy shit
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la
Things I knew when I was young
Some were true and some were wrong
And one day, I pray, I’ll be more than my father’s son
But I don’t own a single gun
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la
