Waffen [English translation]

You don’t go pointing your guns at

other people

You don’t go pointing your guns at

anyone or anything ¹

Oh, yesterday’s brothers are

the adversaries of today

and every shot will someday,

someday come back

Peoples of the world

arm yourselves

and buy guns

Go to the front line,

protect your freedom

with your new artillery

Fill your powder keg

to the rim,

as full as our armory is, ²

they’ve lost their minds ³

Oh, you don’t go pointing your guns at

other people

You don’t go pointing your guns at

anyone or anything

Oh, yesterday’s brothers are

the adversaries of today

‘cause every shot will someday,

someday come back

Peoples of the world

arm yourselves

to the teeth ⁴

‘cause whoever has the longer barrel

has the upper hand ⁵

we’re dancing on blades and razors,

just before the edge

it’s just a matter of time

before someone goes too far

Oh, you don’t go pointing your guns at

other people

You don’t go pointing your guns at

anyone or anything

Oh, yesterday's brothers are

the adversaries of today

‘cause every shot will someday,

someday come back

(x2)

You don’t go pointing your guns at

other people

You don’t go pointing your guns at

anyone or anything
