Topenga Ataata
Kupu Tūpato
Ceilings, plaster
– He tuanui, he kōhatu
Can’t you just make it move faster?
– Kaore e taea e koe te neke tere ake?
Lovely to be sitting here with you
– He pai ki te noho ki konei me koe
You’re kinda cute, but it’s
– He ahua ataahua koe, engari ko te
Raining harder
– Te ua kaha
My shoes are now full of water
– Kua ki aku hu i te wai
Lovely to be rained on with you
– He ataahua ki te ua ki a koe
It’s kinda cute, but it’s
– He ahua ataahua, engari he
So short
– He poto rawa
Then you’re driving me home
– Na kei te kawe koe i ahau ki te kāinga
And I don’t wanna leave
– A kaore au e hiahia ki te haere
But I have to go
– Engari me haere ahau
You kiss me in your car
– Ka kihi koe i ahau i roto i tō motokā
And it feels like the start of a movie I’ve seen before
– A he rite tonu ki te tīmatanga o tētahi kiriata i kite ahau i mua
Before
– I mua
Bedsheets, no clothes
– Moenga, kaore he kakahu
Touch me like nobody else does
– Pa mai ki ahau me te mea kaore he tangata ke atu
Lovely to just lay here with you
– He pai ki te takoto noa ki a koe
You’re kinda cute, and I would say all of this
– He tino reka koe, ā, ka mea ahau i ēnei mea katoa
But I don’t wanna ruin the moment
– Engari kaore au e hiahia ki te whakangaro i te wa
Lovely to sit between comfort and chaos
– He pai ki te noho i waenganui i te whakamarie me te raruraru
But it’s over
– Engari kua mutu
Then you’re driving me home
– Na kei te kawe koe i ahau ki te kāinga
And it kinda comes out
– A ka puta mai
As I get up to go
– Ka whakatika ahau ki te haere
You kiss me in your car
– Ka kihi koe i ahau i roto i tō motokā
And it feels like the start of a movie I’ve seen before
– A he rite tonu ki te tīmatanga o tētahi kiriata i kite ahau i mua
But it’s not real
– Engari ehara i te mea tūturu
And you don’t exist
– A kaore koe e noho
And I can’t recall the last time I was kissed
– A kaore au e mahara ki te wa whakamutunga i kihi ai ahau
It hits me in the car
– Ka pa ki ahau i roto i te motokā
And it feels like the end of a movie I’ve seen before
– A, ko te mutunga o tētahi kiriata I kite ahau i mua
Before
– I mua
