Kupu Tūpato
I want you by my side
– E hiahia ana ahau ki a koe i toku taha
So that I never feel alone again
– Na e kore ahau e fe anake ano
They’ve always been so kind
– He tino atawhai tonu rātau
But now they’ve brought you away from me
– Engari inaianei kua kawea atu koe e ratou i ahau
I hope they didn’t get your mind
– Ko te tūmanako kāore rātou i whakaaro
Your heart is too strong anyway
– He kaha rawa to ngakau
We need to fetch back the time
– Me whakahoki mai e tātou te wā
They have stolen from us
– Kua tahaetia e rātou i a mātou
And I want you
– A e hiahia ana ahau ki a koe
We can bring it on the floor
– Ka taea e tatou te kawe i te reira i runga i te papa
You’ve never danced like this before
– Kāore anō koe kia kanikani pēnei i mua
We don’t talk about it
– Kāore mātou e kōrero mō taua mea
Dancin’ on, doin’ the boogie all night long
– E kanikani ana, e mahi ana i te boogie i te pō katoa
Stoned in paradise
– I akina ki te kohatu i pararaiha
Shouldn’t talk about it
– Kaua e korero mo taua mea
And I want you
– A e hiahia ana ahau ki a koe
We can bring it on the floor
– Ka taea e tatou te kawe i te reira i runga i te papa
You’ve never danced like this before
– Kāore anō koe kia kanikani pēnei i mua
We don’t talk about it
– Kāore mātou e kōrero mō taua mea
Dancin’ on, doin’ the boogie all night long
– E kanikani ana, e mahi ana i te boogie i te pō katoa
Stoned in paradise
– I akina ki te kohatu i pararaiha
Shouldn’t talk about it
– Kaua e korero mo taua mea
Shouldn’t talk about it
– Kaua e korero mo taua mea
Coldest winter for me
– He hotoke tino makariri ki ahau
No sun is shining anymore
– Kāore he rā e whiti ana
The only thing I feel is pain
– Ko te mea anake eel ana ahau ko te mamae
Caused by absence of you
– Meinga e ngaro o koutou
Suspense controlling my mind
– Te whakaoho te whakahaere i toku hinengaro
I cannot find the way out of here
– E kore e taea e ahau te kitea te ara i roto i konei
I want you by my side
– E hiahia ana ahau ki a koe i toku taha
So that I never feel alone again
– Na e kore ahau e fe anake ano
And I want you
– A e hiahia ana ahau ki a koe
We can bring it on the floor
– Ka taea e tatou te kawe i te reira i runga i te papa
You’ve never danced like this before

Shouldn’t talk about it…
– Kaua e korero mo taua mea…
