The meaning of the lyrics of the song "Young Guns" by the artist "Wham!"

усский язык

В песне Young Guns группы Wham! лирический герой встречает старого друга, которого давно не видел. Друг представляет ему свою невесту, чем повергает героя в шок.

Песня – это гимн свободе и беззаботности молодости, противопоставленной «узам брака». Герой не понимает выбора друга, считая, что тот слишком молод для женитьбы и что брак – это конец веселой жизни. Он видит в браке лишь ограничения, ответственность и потерю свободы ("Бессонные ночи на водяной кровати", "Отец в двадцать один год", "Возиться с пеленками").

Герой призывает друга одуматься, напоминая о том, как им было хорошо вместе ("Я помню, он был таким веселым, и все было отлично"). Он не скрывает своего неодобрения и даже пытается вразумить девушку друга, но та прогоняет его.

Припев песни "Young Guns (Go for Fun)" – это мантра героя, декларация его жизненной позиции: молодые должны развлекаться, избегать серьезных отношений ("Сногсшибательные женщины заставляют их побегать") и не связывать себя обязательствами, потому что брак, по его мнению, – это смерть ("Брак убьёт тебя!").

## Английский язык

In Wham!'s song "Young Guns," the lyrical protagonist encounters an old friend he hasn't seen in a while. The friend introduces his fiancée, leaving the protagonist utterly shocked.

The song is an anthem to the freedom and carefree nature of youth, juxtaposed against the "bonds of marriage." The protagonist doesn't understand his friend's choice, believing him to be too young for marriage and seeing it as the end of a fun life. He perceives marriage only as limitations, responsibility, and loss of freedom ("Sleepless nights on a waterbed," "Fatherhood at twenty-one," "Messing around with diapers").

The protagonist urges his friend to reconsider, reminiscing about their good times together ("I remember he was such fun, everything was fine"). He doesn't hide his disapproval and even tries to reason with the friend's girlfriend, but she sends him away.

The chorus, "Young Guns (Go for Fun)," serves as the protagonist's mantra, a declaration of his life philosophy: young people should have fun, avoid serious relationships ("Knockout women make 'em run"), and not tie themselves down with commitments because marriage, in his view, is the end ("Marriage will kill you!").

Hey sucker

(What the hell's got into you?)

Hey sucker

(Now there's nothing you can do)

Well I hadn't seen your face around town awhile,

So I greeted you with a knowing smile,

When I saw that girl upon your arm,

I knew she won your heart with a fatal charm.

I said "Soul Boy, let's hit the town!"

I said "Soul Boy, what's with the frown?"

But in return, all you could say was

"Hi George, meet my fiancee"

Young Guns,

Having some fun

Crazy ladies keep 'em on the run.

Wise guys realize there's danger in emotional ties.

See me, single and free

No tears, no fears, what I want to be.

One, two, take a look at you

Death by matrimony!

Hey sucker,

(What the hell's got into you?)

Hey sucker!

(Now there's nothing you can do.)

A married man? You're out of your head

Sleepless nights, on an H.P. bed

A daddy by the time you're twenty-one

If your happy with a nappy

Then you're in for fun.

But you're here and you're there

Well there's guys like you just everywhere

Looking back on the good old days

Well this young gun says CAUTION PAYS!

Young Guns,

Having some fun

Crazy ladies keep 'em on the run.

Wise guys realize there's danger in emotional ties.

See me, single and free

No tears, no fears, what I want to be.

One, two, take a look at you

Death by matrimony!

I remember when he was such fun and everthing was fine,

I remember when we used to have a good time,

Partners in crime.

Tell me that's all in the past and I will gladly walk away,

Tell me that you're happy now,

Turning my back

Nothing to say!

"Hey tell this jerk to take a hike,

There's somethin' 'bout that boy I don't like"

"Well sugar he don't mean the things he said"

"Just get him outta my way, 'cause I'm seeing red

We got plans to make, we got things to buy

And you're wasting time on some creepy guy"

"Hey shut up chick, that's a friend of mine,

Just watch your mouth babe, you're out of line"

Ooooooh!

Get back!

Hands off!

Go for it!

Young Guns,

Having some fun

Crazy ladies keep 'em on the run.

Wise guys realize there's danger in emotional ties.

See me, single and free

No tears, no fears, what I want to be.

One, two, take a look at you

Death by matrimony!
