Kupu Tūpato
Well, you can tell by the way I use my walk
– Well, ka taea e koe te korero i te ara whakamahi ahau toku haere
I’m a woman’s man, no time to talk
– He wahine ahau, kaore he wa ki te korero
Music loud and women warm
– Waiata nui me te wahine mahana
I’ve been kicked around since I was born
– Kua werohia ahau mai i taku whanautanga
And now it’s all right, that’s okay
– Na, he pai, he pai
And you may look the other way
– A kia titiro koe i te tahi atu ara
We can try to understand
– Ka taea e tātou te whakamātau ki te mārama
The New York Times’ effect on man
– Te Pānga o Te New York Times ki te tangata
Whether you’re a brother or whether you’re a mother
– Ahakoa he teina koe, ahakoa he whaea koe
You’re stayin’ alive, stayin’ alive
– E noho ora ana koe, e noho ora ana
Feel the city breakin’ and everybody shakin’
– Fe i te pa e pakaru ana, e wiri ana hoki te katoa
And we’re stayin’ alive, stayin’ alive
– A kei te ora tonu mātou, kei te ora tonu
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin’ alive, stayin’ alive
– Ah, ha, ha, ha, noho ora, noho ora
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin’ alive
– Ah, ha, ha, ha, noho ora
Oh when you walk
– Aue, ina haere koe
Well now, I get low and I get high
– Na, ka heke iho ahau, ka piki ake ahau
And if I can’t get either, I really try
– A ki te kore e taea e au te tiki, ka tino ngana ahau
Got the wings of heaven on my shoes
– Kei runga i aku hu nga parirau o te rangi
I’m a dancin’ man and I just can’t lose
– He tangata kanikani ahau, ā, kāore e taea e au te ngaro
You know it’s all right, it’s okay
– E mōhio ana koe he pai, he pai
I’ll live to see another day
– Ka ora ahau ki te kite i tetahi atu ra
We can try to understand
– Ka taea e tātou te whakamātau ki te mārama
The New York Times’ effect on man
– Te Pānga o Te New York Times ki te tangata
Whether you’re a brother or whether you’re a mother
– Ahakoa he teina koe, ahakoa he whaea koe
You’re stayin’ alive, stayin’ alive

Feel the city breakin’ and everybody shakin’

And we’re stayin’ alive, stayin’ alive

Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin’ alive, stayin’ alive
– Ah, ha, ha, ha, noho ora, noho ora
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin’ alive
– Ah, ha, ha, ha, noho ora
Life goin’ nowhere, somebody help me
– Kāore te ora e haere ki hea, ka āwhina tētahi i ahau
Somebody help me, yeah

Life goin’ nowhere, somebody help me, yeah
– E kore te ora e haere ki hea, e te tangata e āwhina i ahau, ae
