Kupu Tūpato
Jupiter, named for a planet, wasn’t free to be
– Ko Jupiter, i tapaina ki tētahi aorangi, kāore i te wātea ki te noho
To be exactly who she ought to be
– Kia rite tonu ki a ia
She saw in colours others couldn’t see
– I kite ia i ngā tae kāore i kitea e ētahi atu
Jupiter, named for a planet, would pretend to be
– Ko hupita, i tapaina ki te ingoa o tētahi aorangi, ka mea he
Somebody way less extraordinary
– Tetahi ara iti faahiahia
“Sometimes I wonder what is wrong with me”
– “I ētahi wā ka whakaaro ahau he aha te mea he ki ahau”
“Am I bad? Am I wrong? Am I weird in the head?
– “He kino ahau? He hē ahau? He mea whakamiharo ahau ki te mahunga?
The only one awake, and everyone’s in bed”
– Ko te tangata anake e mataara ana, a kei te moenga katoa”
Still she followed the river where the river led
– Heoi i whai ia i te awa i te wahi i arahi ai te awa
Right up to heaven where the billboard read
– Tae noa ki te rangi i reira te panui panui
“I love who I love (I love who I love)
– “Aroha ana ahau ki te tangata e arohaina ana e au (aroha ana ahau ki te tangata e arohaina ana e au)
Oh yeah, I love who I love (I love who I love)
– Aue, e aroha ana ahau ki te tangata e arohaina ana e ahau (aroha ana ahau ki te tangata e arohaina ana e ahau)
I love who I love,” the message from above
– E aroha ana ahau ki te tangata e arohaina ana e au, ” ko te karere mai i runga
Is never give up, love who you love
– Kaua rawa e whakarerea, e te aroha e arohaina ana e koe
Jupiter longed to be herself or die
– I hiahia a hupita kia noho ko ia kia mate rānei
“I wanna burst into a butterfly”
– “E hiahia ana ahau ki te pakaru ki te butterfly”
“Am I bad? Am I wrong? Am I not okay?
– “He kino ahau? He hē ahau? Kaore au i te pai?
Speaking only words that a girl can’t say”
– Korero kupu anake e kore e taea e te kotiro te mea”
Still she followed the rain to where the rainbow lay
– Heoi i whai ia i te ua ki te wahi i takoto ai te kopere
All of the angels singing “Come and say”
– Ko nga anahera katoa e waiata ana ” Haere mai ki te korero”
“I love who I love (I love who I love)
– “Aroha ana ahau ki te tangata e arohaina ana e au (aroha ana ahau ki te tangata e arohaina ana e au)
Oh yeah, I love who I love (I love who I love)
– Aue, e aroha ana ahau ki te tangata e arohaina ana e ahau (aroha ana ahau ki te tangata e arohaina ana e ahau)
I love who I love,” the message from above
– E aroha ana ahau ki te tangata e arohaina ana e au, ” ko te karere mai i runga
Is never give up, love who you love
– Kaua rawa e whakarerea, e te aroha e arohaina ana e koe
And it’s a battle for your song
– A he pakanga tēnei mō tō waiata
You had to hide away for so long
– Kua roa koe e huna ana
When they say, “Yourself is wrong”
– A, no te mea ratou, ” ko koe he he”
(The orchestra of rainbows play)
– (Ko te orokohanga o rainbows play)
I love who I love (I love who I love)
– Aroha ana ahau ki te tangata e arohaina ana e ahau (i love who i love)
Oh yeah, I love who I love (I love who I love)
– Aue, e aroha ana ahau ki te tangata e arohaina ana e ahau (aroha ana ahau ki te tangata e arohaina ana e ahau)
I love who I love, I struggle with this stuff
– E aroha ana ahau ki te tangata e arohaina ana e au, e whawhai ana ahau ki ēnei mea
Now all I wanna say
– Na ko te mea anake e hiahia ana ahau ki te mea
Is la-la-la-la-lay (La-la-la-la-lay)
– Ko te la-la-la-la-lay (La-la-la-la-lay)
La-la-la-la-lay (La-la-la-la-lay)
– La-la-la-la-takoto (La-la-la-la-takoto)
La-la-la-la-lay
– Ko La-la-la-la-lay te ingoa o te tangata
Oh, I’m okay (‘Kay, ‘kay, ‘kay)
– Aue, kei te pai ahau (‘Kay,’ kay, ‘ kay)
Oh, I’m okay (He-hey, hey)
– Aue, kei te pai ahau (He-hey, hey)
